Question via text just now: "When's the last time a South Dakotan was name checked in a Springsteen song?"
I'm no superfan, but the Google bots say this one with a @KristiNoem reference is the first.

Hey everyone, I’m at Yankton Trail Park until 1 PM then over to Frank Olson park from 3 PM until people stop showing up! Stay in your warm car, sign my petition, and let’s get me on the ballot for this November.
Okay so,
1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution
2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents
3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen
4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement
You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.
Owning a gun is legal.
Carrying a gun is legal.
The victim of today's ICE murder doesn't have the gun in his hands during the encounter from any of the video shown. He is on the ground having the shit kicked out of him and being pistol whipped.
Then he is shot repeatedly.
So much for the 2A.
VERY IMPORTANT:
The man in the green jacket walks up to the melee, he reaches in, takes the gun from the man on the ground, and calmly walks away with the gun ICE found.
This was BEFORE any shots were fired.
Which means the man was UNARMED and MURDERED in the street by ICE.
Hey @LeaderJohnThune & @RepDustyJohnson. You good with this? @SenatorRounds, didn't you write this bill? Not a battle, a massacre! 300 Lakota, mostly women, children & elders, murdered on South Dakota soil. Shame on anyone who supports this whitewash of history. Just pathetic.
for anyone who doesn't know, the "brave soldiers" who "fought" at Wounded Knee were sent to surround and arrest Sioux practitioners of the Ghost Dance, a nonviolent religious practice. it resulted in a massacre of 150+ innocents, half of which were women and children.
Did you know: If the Sioux Falls airport receives no additional rain this month, July 2024 will be the driest on record. Here are the top 10 driest Julys on record (dating back to 1893).
This follows June 2024 which was the 2nd wettest June on record for the city.
