Indeed. And as I wrote yesterday, nobody seems to care much about ethical problems attached to the White Christian-nationalist judge in Texas who is trying to ban the abortion pill across the U.S.

The Washington Post broke a story in which they caught him lying, red handed, during his Senate confirmation process, but reaction to that story has been a great big apathetic yawn.

It's like nobody cares anymore if justices and judges are honest and ethical.

That would seem like a basic, ironclad requirement for a judge, but it obviously isn't — and of course it's members of minorities who tend to suffer for that.

Speaking of subtle racism, could that be the reason that the Atlanta Birthday Party massacre didn't get much media coverage?

I don't know about you, but I almost missed hearing about it. In contrast to the Nashville shooting, which saturated headlines and generated (at least on my phone) all kinds of push notifications, the Atlanta massacre got buried.

Both the New York Times and the Washington Post reported the Atlanta massacre, but the story only appeared several pages down from the top of the their digital editions, included in lists of other minor stories.

Is that because most of the victims were Black? I'm struggling to see any other difference between the Atlanta and the Nashville shootings. Actually, more children in Atlanta were shot than children in Nashville. So, for me this is a kind of "what the fuck?" moment.

Not only do we as a nation appear to be becoming more and more calloused about mass gun killings, we seem to care about it even less when Black kids get shot.
