@RepPressley -- allow me to help you locate a calendar, you absolute Snollygoster.
TODAY IS JUNE 13TH. Juneteenth is June 19th. SIX days from now. Six. You scheduled an event, wrote an entire post invoking "Black freedom" and "fascism," and could not manage to get the correct DATE of the holiday literally named after its own date. I genuinely did not think a sitting congresswoman could be this much of a weapons-grade Dalcop -- but here I am, proven wrong again.
I may need to add a new unit to my Anatomy curriculum: "The Region of the Brain Responsible for Reading Calendars -- and Why Some Members of Congress Appear to Have Surgically Removed It."
Now. Since you apparently slept through the history portion of the celebration you are using for political theater, allow me to assist. Juneteenth marks the day Union soldiers finally delivered overdue news to Galveston, TEXAS -- ONE state -- on June 19, 1865. Slavery did not end that day. Kentucky and Delaware still held enslaved persons LEGALLY after June 19, 1865. The actual, constitutional, nationwide abolition of slavery came with the 13th Amendment, ratified December 6, 1865.
Which party passed it? REPUBLICANS. Unanimously. Every single one.
Which party opposed it? Built Jim Crow? Wrote the Black Codes? Founded the KKK as their personal paramilitary enforcement arm? And produced Senator Robert Byrd -- a former KKK RECRUITER -- who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for FOURTEEN HOURS straight? YOUR party,
@RepPressley. Yours.
And before the "but the parties switched" script gets read -- Byrd never switched. He died a Democrat in 2010, eulogized by a Democratic president with a smile. There was no switch. They just traded plantations for housing projects, chains for welfare checks, and overseers for social workers. Same architecture of control. Different paperwork.
In the 1950s, roughly 80 to 85 percent of Black children were raised in two-parent homes -- the highest rate in America at the time. After the Democrats implemented their Great Society welfare architecture, with its built-in marriage penalties and dependency incentives? Under 30 percent today. That is not systemic racism. That is Quinn's Law Number One operating at full throttle: liberalism always generates the EXACT OPPOSITE of its stated intent.
And Quinn's Law Number Six? Facts are the enemy of liberalism. Which probably explains why no one on your team noticed the date was wrong.
Speaking of facts -- on January 10, 1963, Congressman Albert Herlong read into the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD a list of 45 Communist Goals for America. Goal Number 40: discredit the family as an institution; encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. ACHIEVED -- and achieved most thoroughly in the very communities your party claims to protect. Goal Number 28: eliminate prayer in schools. Achieved in 1962, one year BEFORE the list was even read aloud. I am not saying your party planned all of this,
@RepPressley. I am saying the OUTCOMES are identical to what a deliberate plan would have produced. And your party is still running the play.
You want to discuss "authoritarianism and fascism"? Examine your own party's 200-year record before pointing fingers. Because what you are doing -- cycling Black Americans through manufactured grief, racial grievance politics, and government dependency while delivering zero school choice, zero family-formation incentives, and zero actual wealth-building opportunity -- THAT is racist. Not the kind you perform for cameras. The quiet, institutional, vote-farming kind. The kind that shows up six days early to a Juneteenth event and calls it advocacy.
A Jobbernowl running interference for a system that has kept the same population subjugated for two centuries, just with updated branding. That is what true satirical mockery in action looks like -- except the joke is not funny for the 40 million Americans your party claims to champion while delivering nothing but dependence.
IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this -- every share counts. COMMENT: Which came first -- the history lesson or the calendar? Tell me.

But what do I know -- I am only an Anatomy and Physics teacher who can identify June 19th on a standard wall calendar, which apparently places me several intellectual rungs above at least one sitting member of the United States Congress.
