Happy Juneteenth!

Slavery ended in this country, officially, on June 19th, 1865, the day when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. So now we celebrate the day as Juneteenth, which became a federal holiday in 2021. Yay! And now...

I gotta admit, I loved seeing the No Kings! protest marches in the cities and towns in the US on Saturday. There was even one in my little town! Seattle's march was huge, I was so proud. Yes, these were all just marches, but at least it says something about what a lot of the people of the USA think about Trump's possible dictatorship.
