This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.
It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

How many times does a conservative-coded "progressive" have to raise a thousand red flags before we start treating them with an appropriate level of skepticism?

"On Monday night, the Trump administration made a hefty in-kind donation to a Senate candidate in Texas. But the beneficiary wasn’t incumbent Sen. John Cornyn or even his scandal-plagued challenger, Attorney General Ken Paxton. In fact, it wasn’t a Republican at all." — @lizdye.bsky.social

I'm honestly more disappointed in the progressives/leftists who don't seem to know about the Taiwan strategic ambiguity thing and instead heard "based we won't get in a shooting war to defend democracy"
Saying "um, ah, well..." for thirty seconds and then changing the subject has been the literal policy of the united states as regards the defense of Taiwan for decades. The whole point is to avoid giving a straight answer. If you want to critique on FP at least read a Wikipedia first.

Deplorable state of U.S. media on display here, deliberately misleading the public. You can literally type into Google the same question @aoc.bsky.social was asked and the AI will give you her same answer because "strategic ambiguity" has been official U.S. policy her whole life.
