“The emancipation of the working class will only be achieved by the working class itself.”

National parks in the U.S. have had “free days” without entry fees for quite a while, for example, on national holidays like Memorial Day or Veterans Day. In December, the president announced an order to remove the free entry for two national holidays. Could you guess which holidays he removed?
It has to do with the color of one’s skin. No surprise there. In December, Trump issued a presidential order to make everyone pay the park fees on two federal holidays, Martin Luther King Day and on Juneteenth, which was a celebration of slaves in Texas after they heard the news of emancipation. Texas slave-owners had kept the news of the Emancipation Proclamation from them for more than a year.
Blatant racism! A “dog whistle” or signal or bone thrown to the racist section of the population that supports him at his worst. An insult directed against all of us who refuse to have history rewritten by a half-wit pig and his perverted posse.
