Early voting is open for the July primaries/runoffs in Texas. I voted last week. I wonder if there will be crowds on election day or if people will skip the primaries altogether to avoid another spike of cases. We can only hope that courts make a decision about mail-in voting before the November election.
I was shocked to hear that somebody toppled a statue of Frederick Douglass on Saturday. Revenge for the Confederate statues I suppose. Meanwhile, the Washington football team is now in talks about changing their name, though they still don't promise anything. About five years ago, the sci-fi show Minority Report was set in D.C. in 2065, and they changed the name of the team to Red Clouds. I hope the real life team finally changes its name.
I'm glad to hear that an advertiser boycott is forcing Facebook to finally start taking action against hate speech. They claimed they didn't want to censor free speech, all while ignoring the real harm in letting Nazis take over the internet.
