"Ravenswood" is a Dungeons & Dragons sounding name for a neighborhood.

Chicago based individual, but still New Orleans related. Georgia raised via UGA & SSI.
One of the key moments at trial was the revelation that the awful video showed these evil men in their trucks chasing Arbery for over 5 minutes as he tried to escape.

Five minutes is an eternity in a moment like that.

I'm also reminded that the awful video of Arbery's killing was made by one of his killers and leaked specifically to "prove" that the killing was justified.

Racism is a hell of a drug.

It is so important that everyone document what is happening here in Chicago right now. Just like life in post Katrina New Orleans, too many bad guys are going to try and put all this heartbreak & resistance in a memory hole and make people forget.

But if police really wanted to find illegal guns, they would start by calling up anyone convicted of DV & ask them to surrender their firearms.

"Tough on crime" 🙄 politics will try to bullshit you that widespread pretextual traffic stops are worth all the civil rights violations because they're "the only effective tool" police have to find illegal guns.

I was just thinking this. This one definitely joins the pantheon of all time collapses.

For every Democrat (& their consultants) thinking "Aha! We've got the GOP in a straight up fight over ACA subsidies!" there are 3 news stories & 15 right wing TikToks slobbering over the Glonzo Plan to give people HSA's full of tariff money.

Just look at the breathless "getting something done!" coverage on every major news outlet. The healthcare subsidies disaster is barely a part of the story.
