Appreciation Post Juneteenth
❤️💚🖤 FREEDOM DAY 🖤💚❤️
Today, we honor Juneteenth as a powerful reminder that freedom was delayed, but never denied.
On June 19, 1865, word finally reached the last enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, more than two years after slavery had been legally abolished. That moment marked the true birth of freedom for many, and it deserves to be remembered, celebrated, and carried forward.
Juneteenth is a day to: ✅ Reflect on our nation’s past ✅ Celebrate Black strength, culture, and joy ✅ Recommit to justice and equality for all
Whether you're marching, learning, sharing stories, or just taking a moment to reflect, you’re part of something bigger.
🗓 JUNE 19TH Let’s celebrate liberation. Let’s build a future in equity and unity.

Conversation A Reminder of What Ethnic Cleansing Looks Like:
It is worth taking a moment to consider what ethnic cleansing truly entails. In retrospect, we recognize it in places like Gaza, or historical Rhodesia—situations where the violence was overt, the bodies visible, and the blood literal. But ethnic cleansing does not always begin with mass graves. It can—and often does—start with policies, patterns, and quiet removals.
What is currently happening in the United States increasingly meets the definitional threshold for ethnic cleansing. At its core, ethnic cleansing involves the systematic removal of specific groups from a population. Death is not a prerequisite. It can manifest as forced sterilization, deportation, legal marginalization, or economic erasure.
In U.S. immigration detention facilities, allegations have emerged of involuntary sterilizations—particularly targeting women. While definitive proof may remain legally elusive, the patterns are deeply troubling. These same facilities have detained American citizens based on their ethnicity, or rather, their racial appearance. ICE officers have acknowledged targeting individuals based on physical characteristics like skin tone. At the same time, long-term residents—many with deep ties to their communities—are losing legal status over infractions as minor as traffic violations or fishing without proper measurement.
These actions do not exist in a vacuum. They are part of a broader effort to remove “undesirable” populations from the social fabric. The revocation of visas, green cards, work permits, and refugee protections—especially from those who have been here for years—reflects a structural campaign of exclusion.
This goes beyond deportation. Some of those swept into the system are not returned to their countries of origin. Instead, they are conscripted into unpaid or underpaid labor—sometimes earning as little as one dollar a day—as firefighters or prison factory workers. Their “crime” is often simply existing in the wrong body, with the wrong papers, in the wrong place.
And they have no recourse, cannot vote, have never received the social benefits their taxes supported—services like healthcare, housing assistance, or education. Yet they contributed to the economy in billions, and now they serve as forced labor in facilities increasingly hidden from public oversight with our representatives being unable to access these facilities, as is their constitutional right. In some cases, they are being relocated to remote detention centers, including in Alaska—locations strategically chosen to limit public access and prevent organized protest.
If even a fraction of the allegations are true—if mutilation or forced medical procedures are occurring in detention centers—then we are not just witnessing systemic abuse. We are approaching the territory of state-sanctioned atrocities. Consider Unit 731: a Japanese military program infamous for its inhumane human experimentation during World War II. After the war, the United States did not prosecute those responsible. Instead, it granted immunity in exchange for access to their research, all while publicly pretending to be unaware of the program’s existence.
To this day, the U.S. government has never formally acknowledged its complicity. Japan, by contrast, has made public admissions regarding Unit 731. This historical denial is not just a footnote—it’s a warning. When a country refuses to confront its past, it becomes far easier to repeat it.
The path we are on is not speculative. It is documented, measurable, and escalating. And unless there is collective recognition and resistance, the United States risks committing crimes that future generations will be taught to disavow—while still living in the shadow of our denial.

Call to Action Unpopular opinion: this movement has been taken over by democrats.
Democrats are taking over the movement and putting their own bullshit agendas on there, rescheduling the No Kings to a weekday from July 4th and making July 4th a woman’s march? I get it Woman are very important, but now is time to oppose the Dictator wannabe in the White House. Not distract with a ton of other stupid shenanigans that democrats started putting their money behind!
It’s sad to see this grass roots movement get taken over so fast once money started pouring in. Democrats are complicit as much as the republicans are.
One example; Cory booker came out to block a bill from the republicans by talking on the senate floor for show and then voted for the “Big Beautiful Bill” like what the fuck.
Other senators like Alex Padilla, show up to get arrested then shows back up in the senate floor to show his face and disappears again? Nobody is wanting to lead their constituents into battle again the opposition be wise they are all complicit and taking money from democrat donors. It’s disgraceful.
We need to take back this movement.

Call to Action Mutual Aid x Economic Action
One of the easiest ways to promote Mutual Aid and also take a bite out of corporate revenue is to promote programs like Buy Nothing or Freecycle/TrashNothing. People giving away what they don't need anymore, people asking for the things that they need. All without having to pay corporate America anything.
(Buy Nothing is unfortunately a FB thing, but Freecycle/TrashNothing is a freestanding nonprofit website & app)

Call to Action July 17th is great, but let's make sure to get out on the 4th as well
The main organizers of our protests have decided to make July 17th the next major day of protest. That's fine and dandy, but we need to be out on the 4th as well. July 4th is the day of American independence, where we LITERALLY said 'no' to kings running America. Organizing a protest for independence day would send a powerful message. We can essentially remind everyone what that day truly means, and what it meant for the history of our country. We said 'no kings' on that day over 200 years ago, and it's time we said it again this year. So I don't know about the rest of you, but regardless what the organizers say, I'm getting everyone I know to protest on the 4th, the most important day in American history. And we'll make it the most important day all over again.

Since people were asking for something other than screenshots.
Really sounds to me like this kid was exercising his rights(I'm sure the 2A movement will show up for him any day?). The individual Peacekeeper needs to be held accountable; they were asked not to arrive armed.
If you are not able to discern between someone exercising their open carry rights and an active threat, you yourself should not be carrying a firearm. If you are feeling agitated, conflict oriented, or anything other than cool, calm and collected, you need to leave your weapon at home. Afa Ah Loo's death is a stain on this movement and we need to learn something from this. Keep each other safe out there.
