What happens if both versions of the Austin Police Oversight Act pass in May?

…we don’t know 😳

To avoid a post-vote legal battle, try to pick which one you support (I choose Prop A for its strong oversight) and only vote Yes on that one.

Good morning to readers. Hello from London.

#BREAKING: I'm filing a lawsuit against @Google with 37 AGs to end its illegal monopoly in search services.

It doesn’t take a web search to understand that unchecked corporate power shouldn’t have disproportionate control over our data and information.
