Damn that was a sad but beautiful character study. Anyways I won’t spoil how many trains there were but I can say there was at least a train and a dream sequence. So I think the title is accurate!

Watching Train Dreams (2025) at the State Theatre. Have a running bet against my girlfriend for the number of trains we’ll see. My 8 vs. her 2. Let’s go.

@Argus911 Chapman: “We don’t really know what Operation: Prairie Thunder is doing is Sioux Falls … what’s the justification for the helicopter surveillance?”

@Argus911 Chapman said Rhoden’s O:PT is an example of President Trump’s “slipping into our communities.” She said it intimidates South Dakota’s Latino communities.

Statement from House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn), Sen. Klobuchar (D-Minn) and entire MN delegation —

“Today we speak with one voice to express our outrage, grief, and condemnation of this horrible attack on public servants. There is no place in our democracy for politically-motivated violence. We are praying for John and Yvette’s recovery and we grieve the loss of Melissa and Mark with their family, colleagues, and Minnesotans across the state. We are grateful for law enforcement’s swift response to the situation and continued efforts.”

“No Kings” rally against President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies is underway in Sioux Falls. A cacophony of chants and car honks as people line Minnesota Avenue from 6th Street to 8th Street.

Plenty of vehicle passengers getting involved in the action today. Heard an Xcel Energy truck blaring its horn a few minutes ago.

A man carrying a rubber head on a stick resembling Trump asked a protester carrying a guillotine-shaped sign, “You need a head for that?”

[Dominik Dausch @DomDNP]

Protest has spread to 5th Street.
