Exactly. I can’t decide which contrived word I dislike more.. “Juneteenth” or “Gaslighting”.

Don’t worry it is meaningless anywhere but Texas.

June 19th, 1865. That day, the emancipation proclamation was read aloud in Galveston, Texas (a major port city at the time). Up until recently, it was a Texas event only.
