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.

Damage was minimal but police are investigating.

The whole segment about Colin Allred gives me pause.

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.

Science is finding the truth.

When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

The "reality of things" isn't just the news you see while doomscrolling.
It's also the flowers in your garden, and the bumblebee that just passed through, and your favorite books that gave such comfort, and that song that always gets you dancing, and your friends that love you, and

They do not want AOC to win and see this as an opportunity to knife her
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.

every single person ICE kills, directly or indirectly, seems like a beautifully kind person that the world is significantly worse off without. rest in peace linda davis.
Linda Davis, a K-8 teacher in Savannah, Georgia, was killed in a car crash by a man fleeing ICE

Local authorities said they were unaware of any ICE operations in the area. "We have a no chase policy," a county chairman said

Some more sample threads for my book Other Worlds, which is scheduled to drop July this year.

I break down my thought process for many of the pieces to show how they came to be, as well as fleshing out the universe of the Birrin Saga.
