Nice for people who don’t like their jobs very much.
You might as well start calculating that Cinco De Mayo and Three King’s day will be high on the Hispanic/Latino list to be adapted.
These clowns know it is a Texas thing, they just want a day off.
One can only hope that the Juneteenth celebrations will emphasize this important fact: On June 19, 1865 Republicans freed the last black slave from Democrat control.
Didn’t Obama already do this?!
HAHAHAHA!!! Just kidding. :)
It has been a state holiday since Deval Patrick was in office.
Its designated on a Sunday. Congrats—take the day.
Cultural appropriation by these non-Texans.
Next up...forcing business to give the day off and double overtime.
What about John Lewis’ birthday?
Don't give these butt-kissing idiots any ideas.
If there are any patriots left in that horrible state, I suggest you move.

Any time you can get governments to shut down is time wel spent...................
His birthday is Feb 21, so it would coincide with President’s day which is Washington/Lincoln birthdays combined.............
So Massachusetts is making it a holiday when the slaves in Texas were told they were free.

Yep. Since they are adopting Texas holidays, I recommend that they also make TEXAS INDEPENDENCE DAY an official MASSACHUSETTS HOLIDAY!
The left was waiting for an excuse to get rid of Columbus, who brought Christianity to the New World. There was a connection between George Floyd and Columbus: the George Floyd riots sprang from hatred of Whites. Columbus brought Whites to the New World, and so he was bad.
Is there anyone who thinks that the end goal of what’s going on now ISN’T to eliminate Whitey, after taking all his money?
If you take off every federal holiday (10) and religious holiday (31 for now) and based on today’s environment you can swap religions like your gender anytime plus 104 days for weekends people don’t really work much anymore. That’s 145 days off out of 365.
Course I’m retired so every day is that holiday so I’m celebrating July 30th today.
