So my mom works for the state of Texas. They didn’t get Juneteenth off, they got yesterday off because today is “Sanctity of Life Day”. The day Roe Vs Wade was overturned. Thats so petty and spiteful. We REALLY need to send the whole government home.
I live in Austin, so a slightly more progressive part of Texas (California Trumpers have definitely arrived here). My job chooses a selection of federal holidays each year then balances it out with a few personal days to allow for holidays that don’t make the cut. This year they gave us Juneteenth as a holiday for the first time. Glad I am part of an organization that isn’t trash.
To highlight the Texas shenanigans, the state made MLK Jr. Day a duel holiday with “Confederate Heroes Day” to appease the racists. Again, fortunately my job only recognizes MLK Jr. Day, not the racist nonsense. So much of this state is trash.
