@grubb.wtf Tingus Goose is a fucked up game that I think y'all should experience. Not for me, but it's.... unique

I genuinely don't understand how people can support, or even passively ignore the abject cruelty of American society.
Grow a fucking backbone.

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

They have changed the headline already, but also:

After Hortman's murder, it looks like it took them 6 DAYS to post an editorial board comment, which generalized her death to abstract political violence, and which didn't mention her party directly, but did mention Scalise's much more clearly.

OPINION
THE EDITORIAL BOARD
The Nation Encourages Political Violence by Allowing It to Seem Normal
June 20, 2025

$The surge in political violence during the Trump years has imperiled not only American lives but also our country’s collective memory. The details of a new atrocity overwrite the old. Even the names of the fallen evade our best efforts to retain them. Before the next act of political violence seizes our attention, let us pause and preserve in memory Melissa Hortman, a member of the Minnesota State Legislature, and her husband, Mark. The couple became the latest casualties of our nihilistic politics on Saturday after a gunman killed them in their home, authorities say. Let us also keep in mind John Hoffman, a state senator, and his wife, Yvette, who were wounded in the same series of attacks. Prosecutors say that the gunman, who carried a target list of other Democratic politicians, wanted to inflict fear. The Minnesota attacks join a grim catalog of political violence in recent years. In 2017 a gunman shot four people, badly wounding Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, at a Republican practice before the annual congressional baseball game. On Jan. 6, 2021, hundreds of rioters attacked Congress as it was meeting to certify the presidential election result. In 2022 an attacker broke into Nancy Pelosi’s home and fractured the skull of her husband, Paul, with a hammer. Last year two would-be assassins separately tried to kill Donald Trump. In April a man set fire to the home of Gov. Josh Shapiro while he and his family slept inside.$

it seems neither noah smith or matt yglesias know what a grand jury is

Noah Smith retweeting Matt yglesias, both agreeing that the linked study shows American juries aren't racist. but the study is about grand juries, which merely approve indictments, not petit juries, which listen to trials and decide whether or not to convict

Who can I geek out to about these NTSB hearings on the DCA crash?
1. These are the pinnacle of government hearings. No one is looking for soundbytes. It's a fact finding endeavor.
2. I'm learning so much. They should release these hearings as a documentary for aviation nerds.
