A new symphony inspired by the bridges of Dallas, a free movie for Pride, your new favorite psych-torch singer.

The Fourth of July (not 4th of July, even if you do insist on stylizing it that way) falls this year on a Wednesday, a perfectly patriotic way to bisect your week. In North Texas, there are any number of events celebrating the holiday. Corn dog eating contests, performances by the Dallas Winds, Old-Fashioned Fourth of July tributes, the Fort Worth Symphony performing at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden right before a fireworks show. Really just a whole lot of things to do.

But the real stars of the Fourth of July are the fireworks. To that end, we’ve rounded up 20 fireworks shows in Dallas-Fort Worth that are worth your time this July 3 and 4. And one on June 30, in case you really can’t wait. In no particular order, except for the first five events, which are our favorites, let’s get to it:

The thousands of dockless rental bikes that rolled onto the streets of Dallas this last year have proven just how far the city has to go to become truly bike friendly. And not just in terms of infrastructure, although 19 miles of buffered bike lanes in the entire city don’t come close to cutting it.

Recall the near-panic and rage that last year greeted the “bike mess,” as critics collected so many images of sidewalk jumbles and installation art, of bikes burned on the Katy Trail or sunk in White Rock Lake. Many of these problems have largely abated on their own, but even as the city draws closer to adopting regulations for the rental fleets, bike share critics have seized on another supposed element of the “mess.”

It was touched on during a City Council discussion of the regulations earlier this month, when a council member posed a question on the “hacking,” or theft, of rental bikes. It was a tactful way to bring up a complaint that’s been made much less politely in recent months on neighborhood groups on social media, where I’ve seen more than one reference to “bum bikes.” The complaint is that people are breaking the locking mechanism and GPS on these rental bikes, thereby claiming them as their own. The implication—and sometimes it’s not subtly implied—is that poor or homeless people are stealing share bikes and using them to criminal or nefarious ends. Another council member at that meeting pointed out, correctly, that plenty more crimes are committed using cars, or feet, as a means of transportation. Nobody came out and asked what exactly is so nefarious about riding a bike, anyway.

But let’s assume that the complaint in this case is not about “mess,” because there’s nothing inherently messy about riding a bike. Let’s also, maybe too generously, assume it’s not about someone’s distaste for seeing a person who can’t afford a car—or in some cases a credit card and smartphone—riding a hacked share bike around town. The complaint could be about protecting the private property of a company whose business model revolves around leaving its products up for grabs in highly trafficked public places, although that doesn’t seem to get to the point of all this.

Pull back all the complaints about cleanliness, and the heart of the bike mess is really about responsible bike ownership, about providing decent transportation options to everyone, and about changing the culture of a city whose residents are too often hostile to the idea of sharing the road with anything on two wheels. A city that prioritizes the convenience of car owners over equitable transportation. A city that will grudgingly welcome bike share companies, but has few bike programs of its own. Where trails may get funded, but inner-city bike lanes and bike transportation infrastructure are an afterthought. There’s your mess.

If that’s the case, then here’s one way to work toward cleaning up the mess: Let’s start giving away bikes.

Former Mayor Pro Tem John Loza Dies Unexpectedly. Loza, a lawyer and former councilman, was found unresponsive by his husband David Hill on Tuesday night. The medical examiner had not determined a cause of death yesterday afternoon, but he was diabetic and had previously suffered from esophageal varices, enlarged veins that block normal blood flow in the tube connecting the stomach to the throat. Hill said it looked as though Loza had thrown up a large amount of blood. I did not personally know Loza, but he did email me years ago, after my failed bid for mayor of Dallas, encouraging me to try again for political office someday. Maybe I will.

NBA DRAFT DAY. Here are some potential scenarios for your Mavs, but honestly if you want the up-to-date news, my advice is to start DMing Eric Celeste on Twitter. Here is a live look at Eric in his war room. My take? I’ve been busy. But my hopes, in order: they pull off a trade up and land Luka Doncic (long-ish shot); they stay put and end up with Mo Bamba (Eric and I mildly disagree on this); they trick Grayson Allen into thinking they’re going to pick him and then they don’t and he melts down pretty hard on live TV; I get a draft tweet that goes viral but it has a weird typo in it and a confused Jay Bilas has to read it over the air as is. That’s it. I have no other hopes regarding the draft or anything else really. Just kidding. I have lots of hope. Don’t let my mean mug fool you.

Every Kid Who Attends Mayor’s Back to School Fair Eligible For Free School Supplies. It’s a change from previous years, when it was only open to kids who met federal poverty guidelines.

As director of the Human Rights Initiative of North Texas, Bill Holston has been flooded in recent days with calls and emails from people trying to find out how they can help those families separated at the border under the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” enforcement policy on illegal immigration.

“The first thing I say to everybody is, ‘We’ve been representing asylum-seekers from Central America for 18 years. Children from Central America for the last 12 years. And we’ve been seeking volunteers to help us do that the whole time,'” Holston says.

As a practical matter, there hasn’t been much impact from the border crisis here in Dallas, even as images of children pulled away from their parents continue to dominate local and national news coverage. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins and the heads of other North Texas organizations have made it known they’re open to housing migrant children, but the only shelter in the area presently welcoming an undisclosed number of those children is in Fort Worth, where that city’s Catholic Charities branch has opened a 26-bed facility. Parents arrested at the border are being sent to federal detention centers elsewhere, while most of the children are being housed at short-term shelters in El Paso and in South Texas. Holston is pointing well-meaning volunteers toward the appropriate agencies on the border, including RAICES, a nonprofit providing legal support to immigrants and refugees in Texas.

Although President Trump today signed an executive order that will end family separations at the border without stopping the zero tolerance criminal enforcement, it only serves to replace family separation with indefinite family detention. Holston calls this a violation of the Flores Settlement, litigation that addressed the detention of families under previous administrations. “This ends one human rights fiasco with another,” Holston says. Family detention centers, of the sort that predate the Trump administration, won’t address the root of the issue.

Holston worries that uproar over the thousands of families separated at the border, as justified as that uproar may be and as much as he shares in the outrage, is missing the bigger point. For one thing, this is “just the latest and grossest” way the federal government is hurting refugees, Holston says. (Today, coincidentally, is World Refugee Day.) There was Trump’s travel ban, which included war-torn Syria. This year, there were steep cuts made to the United States’ refugee resettlement program. And that’s important, because most of the people now being detained at the border are not migrants looking for American jobs, but refugees and asylum-seekers looking for a peaceful place to live.

“I think that’s the problem with the current framing of this issue. The problem is that we have a refugee crisis on our border, with tens of thousands of people fleeing violence in Central America,” Holston says. “The problem is that we’ve treated them as migrants, rather than refugees. Until we face this as a humanitarian issue, we’re going to continue to have this problem.”

I have two friends. Let’s call them Maeve and Dolores. They are married, live near Bachman Lake in an adorable house inside the recent gas leak evacuation area, and have two cats and a Roomba that they bought on Amazon a few months ago. (To clarify: they bought the Roomba on Amazon. Fat Baby and Bad Baby, the cats, were acquired through other, non-Bezos-related means.)

Last night, while folding laundry in the bedroom, they set the Roomba to start vacuuming the guest room. I imagine them watching Westworld as they paired socks and debated the meaning of aspect ratios, Manifest Destiny, and free will, enjoying a quiet moment of domestic bliss. Until Maeve smelled what she would later describe as a “nightmare cat poop.” Only she didn’t say poop. And it was more of a descriptive exclamation that started with “What the” and ended with something unprintable.

At almost the exact same moment, Dolores leapt to grab the remote as Maeve yelled, “Grab the remote and TURN IT OFF!”
