South Dakota deserves better: To protect our communities and prevent waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer funds, South Dakotans should continue to reject #carboncapture schemes. www.thedakotascout.com/p/viewpoint-... #CCS #taxdollars #subsidies

The suggestion that Kristi Noem, a white woman, is the "delicate, beautiful, tiny" victim after a Latino man is physically dragged out of a room fits into the admin's pretext of criminality it attaches to people who are not white. Like Rep. LaMonica McIver.

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

After Trump floated the idea of arresting California Gov. Gavin Newsom, right-wing personalities began calling for the administration to actually follow through on it. Reality keeps intruding on what the extremists and conspiracy theorists want.

IA Governor Kim Reynolds has caved to corporate interests & billionaires while turning her back on her constituents by vetoing the #eminentdomain reform bill. So the corporate interests grafting off #45Q tax credits gets a win. Another win for the #carbongrifters I guess
