Most civilian federal employees and most active-duty U.S. military personnel ARE getting today off. You’re just have the wrong employer!

Really?? That’s so unfair! We got a stern warning yesterday that our public university is not getting a day off.

My employer is holding a presentation on the history of slavery instead. I don’t even know if they’ll make it a hospital holiday or not — no one’s said anything.

What is truly wrong is that one this day to remember the emancipation from slavery; no one seems to recognize how enslaved and controlled we are right now!
