Wow. I just gave the new report a quick first read and it's basically @Austin_Police justifying everything they did and making excuses terrible management decisions while eliding any specifics of the hundreds of misconduct complaints lodged against officers. 🧵

To embarrass Northern liberals and humiliate Black people, southern White Citizens Councils started their so-called "Reverse Freedom Rides," giving Black people one-way tickets to northern cities with false promises of jobs, housing, and better lives. jfklibrary.org/asset-viewer/…
Reverse Freedom Ride: Negro Family On Way Here A Negro couple and their eight children were placed on a Trenton-bound bus in Shreveport, La., this morning by the White Citizens' Council of Louisiana. The family of Alan Gilmore - the first "reverse Freedom Riders" to this city - were scheduled to arrive at the Perry Street bus terminal here at 4:20 a.m. on Sunday. The children range in age from eight months to 10 years. Charles Barnett, president of the White Citizens' Council, said the Gilmore family would 'look up Nicholas Katzenbach in Trenton.' He apparently referred to Nicholas deBelleville Katzenbach, deputy U.S. Attorny General. Katzenbach was in charge of the marshalls on the University of Mississippi campus when James Meredith enrolled there last fall....

This is precisely why, in the 1950s, Austin PD removed lights and sirens from police cars. Accidents plummeted. Eventually reinstated despite the policy winning national safety awards. We're less safe, now. nitter.gq/Grits4Breakfast/status…

Biden isn’t just forgiving a set amount of debt. He is also enacting a new policy that ends excess interest on student loans—as long as a borrower pays their minimum monthly payment (now capped at only 5% of their income), their balance will no longer increase. This is huge.

Um actually, 3 sat characterizes NP, while the generalizations of most board games characterize PSPACE (or even NEXP for chess if I remember correctly). So a closer analogy would be Quantified Boolean functions, since it characterizes PSPACE and is in fact a game.

51% of small business owners say there are job openings they cannot fill. That is more than double the 48-year historical average.

NEW: Tennessee Republicans are advancing a bill that creates a separate, privileged class of marriage for heterosexual couples, acting as a loophole to the Supreme Court’s legalization of gay marriage. The bill would also legalize child marriage by eliminating age requirements.
