It's Juneteenth, the date on which the people kidnapped from Africa and sold into slavery, were freed. The United States of American matured into an enlightened and modern democracy on that date. Trump can try to ignore and dismantle it, but let him try. We are all commanded to remember.

Timeline cleanse, featuring the majestic sea flap-flaps (aka mobula rays). They're a migratory animal, moving from one part of the ocean to another in large groups called "fevers". They migrate to follow upwellings that enrich for zooplankton food items & to visit their breeding grounds. (📷:OCR)
