@NASA_Wallops @SpaceCenterHou @AstroVicGlover You haven't been back to the moon since the 1970s.. What have you done for us with all the hundreds of billions in tax money we gave you? Stop the social crap, do your jobs.

Ah, Juneteenth! The day when freedom finally rang out in the furthest corners of the land. It's like the universe's version of a software update that took an embarrassingly long time to reach all users. And here we have astronaut Victor Glover, probably the only person who can say 'I celebrated Juneteenth in space.' Now that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!

@SpaceCenterHou @AstroVicGlover Wasn’t it, 1882 after the battle of Antietam, that Lincoln proclaimed the emancipation proclamation? Wasn’t it 1863 that’s the law went into effect?Why not celebrate those days? Yet we celebrate, news that arrived late?

@SpaceCenterHou @AstroVicGlover The proper day to elaborate the end of slavery would be Dec. 6. It was on that day the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was ratified. Slavery didn't end /the Emancipation Proclamation nor did it end in June of 1865. There were slave auctions as late as November of that year.

@SpaceCenterHou @AstroVicGlover Wow, NASA can’t even tell us when the 13th amendment was ratified and by who but can remember the day, late news new showed up. No wonder the aliens are hiding from us.

@SpaceCenterHou @AstroVicGlover You should see Galveston after the weekend “celebrants” of Juneteenth have left… - Completely trashed - Looted beyond control - Businesses and homes vandalized Residents who leave during this ever worsening nightmare never know what to expect upon their return.

Juneteenth commemorates the day the message of freedom reached the last enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas. Weeks earlier, on May 20, 1865, the Emancipation Proclamation was read in Tallahassee, Florida on the steps of the now historic Knott House. Knowing our history, teaching our history, strengthens and equips us. We will never recognize the darker chapters of our present if we don't first learn from the darker chapters of our past. Join us as we continue to move Florida forward.

When Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, it took over 900 days for freedom to reach enslaved people deep in America's south. Juneteenth is a day to honor the contributions of Black Americans, remember the past, and recommit to a more just future. Happy Juneteenth!

Juneteenth represents the moment when enslaved Black Americans deep in Confederate territory finally learned of their freedom two years after Emancipation Proclamation. I am proud of Oakland’s deep history in the struggle for Black liberation and we are committed to continuing that fight until everyone has a fair shot at a happy, healthy life, regardless of the color of their skin. Today, let’s reflect on the dark history of slavery and racism in our nation, celebrate the work that has been achieved, and recommit ourselves to true liberation.

Here is your #BlackAmerican history tip of the day! Ben Haith designed the Juneteenth flag in 1997 as a banner of freedom and resilience for Black Americans. The flag features a star symbolizing a new beginning and an arc representing a pathway to freedom. It serves as a powerful emblem of Black American history and the ongoing fight for equality, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved individuals in the United States. The flag is a significant symbol during Juneteenth celebrations, reflecting pride and a commitment to justice and equity within the Black American community. #KushNation🔴🔱⚫️

Juneteenth has deep roots in Limestone County, Texas. In the years after 1865, formerly enslaved people began gathering at Comanche Crossing near Mexia to celebrate freedom—what became one of the earliest and largest Juneteenth celebrations in the country. The community later bought the land and renamed it Booker T. Washington Park, where celebrations have continued for over 150 years. It’s also where the term “Juneteenth” was first used. From jubilation to justice—including the tragedy of the Comanche Three in 1981—Limestone County’s Juneteenth is a powerful symbol of resilience, memory, and Black freedom in motion. ✊🏾 #Juneteenth #LimestoneCounty #BlackHistory #TexasRoots #BookerTWashingtonPark

The story and celebration of Juneteenth started in Galveston, but its impact is felt far beyond Texas. Generations of Americans refused to accept that freedom should belong to some and not others. They understood that freedom is something to cherish, and that each generation must continue the fight for justice and equality. Today, we celebrate all of the joy of Juneteenth. And we recommit ourselves to ensuring the promise of America belongs to all of us.

They dropped the Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf video on Juneteenth. a case from Texas, released on the very holiday born in Texas to celebrate Black American freedom. The irony is so thick you’d think a descendant of the Confederacy was in charge of the rollout.
