It's been seventy years since (a very different) Supreme Court ruled separating children in schools by race was unconstitutional. Seven decades should be enough time to undo our segregated education past. But it hasn't happened. In fact, for some of those decades, "American schools have been re-segregating. The country is more diverse than it ever has been, with students more exposed to classmates from different backgrounds. Still, around 4 out of 10 Black and Hispanic students attend schools where almost every one of their classmates is another student of color." AP: 70 years ago, school integration was a dream many believed could actually happen. It hasn’t. "'School integration exists as little more than an idea in America right now, a little more than a memory,' said Derek Black, a law professor at the University of Southern California. 'It’s actually an idea that a pretty good majority of Americans think is a good idea. But that’s all.'" (What a pretty good majority of Americans think seems to matter less and less these days.) 2Roe Information Voters"DeLana Marsh, 30, of Holly Springs, Ga., supports abortion rights and opposes a new Georgia law that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy: 'I don’t think a group of men should be able to decide that for us.' But she said she was under the impression that Mr. Biden was responsible because it happened during his presidency, and she believed his age prevented him from closely tracking such events." Here's a poll that will break your brain from NYT Upshot (Gift Article): Nearly one in five voters in battleground states says that President Biden is responsible for ending the constitutional right to abortion. Note that this isn't one of the many cases of voters falling for Trump's lies. He regularly takes credit for ending Roe. Are polls hopelessly broken or are we? 3There's No Place Like NoemWhile most recent Kristi Noem headlines have been about her book in which she recounts the killing of her dog. But back home in South Dakota, there's another big story that is a lot more connected to national politics. Gov Noem is currently barred from entering a huge portion of her state because most of South Dakota's tribes have banned her from their land. The controversy stems from Noem's assertion that the tribes are working with drug cartels. The broader assertion is one that has national election implications, and is captured in a line we're hearing more these days. "The sheer number of illegal migrants coming into the country has made it so that every state is now a border state." 4Asked and Answered"A year ago, Google said that it believed AI was the future of search. That future is apparently here: Google is starting to roll out 'AI Overviews,' previously known as the Search Generative Experience, or SGE, to users in the US and soon around the world. Pretty soon, billions of Google users will see an AI-generated summary at the top of many of their search results. And that’s only the beginning of how AI is changing search." The Verge: Google is redesigning its search engine — and it’s AI all the way down. All the way down is a good way to describe how traffic to many websites will trend as this product rolls out. It's impossible to overstate how dramatically this will alter search and the way we interact with the internet. Actually, it's impossible for me. One of the chatbots can probably explain it. 5Extra, ExtraDisembark Collar: "The crew, made up of 20 Indians and a Sri Lankan national, has been unable to disembark because of visa restrictions, a lack of required shore passes and parallel ongoing investigations ... [they've] been left largely without communication with the outside world for 'a couple of weeks' after their mobile phones were confiscated by the FBI as part of the investigation." It's been seven weeks since a container ship ran into the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The crew is still stuck on board. Meanwhile, a barge hit a bridge in Galveston, Texas, damaging the structure and causing an oil spill. 6Bottom of the News"Reid’s growing stardom goes beyond tattoos. When he rises from the bench to check into a Timberwolves game, he receives louder applause than the starters. One of the team’s hottest giveaways this season was a Naz Reid beach towel. A local pizza shop’s 'HONK IF YOU LOVE NAZ REID' sign has turned the block into a cacophony of car horns. Around Minneapolis, his name has become a new lingua franca. 'Naz Reid?' one fan can ask another, walking down the street. 'Naz Reid!' comes the reply." WSJ (Gift Article): Why 156 People Got the Name of an NBA Backup Tattooed on Their Bodies.
