Minneapolis Mass Shooting

Shooter leaves behind journals in russian, FSB insignia, and weapons marked with russian words. Local TV reports it as “some foreign language.”

If this were Arabic, “terrorism” would be on screen in minutes. But when it’s russian, silence. And I can already predict - the shooter’s gender identity will be weaponized endlessly in debates, while their russian language and kremlin symbols quietly vanish from the story.

Children are dead. And America still looks away from moscow’s swamp.
