Suddenly a lot of companies are jumping on the bandwagon for Juneteenth, to try to show solidarity with Black Lives Matter. Some content will be free and there will be TV specials to celebrate. This may be an opportunistic move for these networks and brands, but at least they're trying not to be actively offensive like Trump and his Tulsa rally.
I was pleased also to hear about protesters tearing down statues of Christopher Columbus too. Maybe this might be the year that Columbus Day can really be universally changed to Indigenous Peoples Day? Meanwhile the Supreme Court decided to keep DACA for now. I know it's on a procedural technicality, but it does mean keep the Dreamers from being deported for now. Trump is really so incompetent, he'll not get it done correctly before the election. This ruling and the other one on LGBTQ discrimination helps give us hope and boost our morale, so we can keep fighting for more.
Meanwhile, some movie theaters are reopening today, though it looks to be Dallas and Plano first before the rest of Texas opens in July. Cinemark is going to show old classics like The Goonies and have low prices to attract people back. Then everything's riding on the new releases like Mulan and Tenet. I hope things won't get delayed again.
