The weirdest response to this has been “if healthcare is a human right, then you’re saying you have a right to someone else’s labor, and they must then give it to you for free???” like these people have never heard of public school or police or…roads.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Affirmative action
Student loan forgiveness
Granting business the right to refuse service to members of the LGBTQ community.
All gutted in just one week because of a conservative stacked Supreme Court who will be coming for interracial and same-sex marriages next.
Just an absolutely shameful day for American jurisprudence. Agree?
How can anyone take what this woman says seriously 🙄🤦♀️ Everyday that this woman is in office, I become more and more ashamed to say I'm from South Dakota
A Catholic priest once knocked my father across the room for speaking Lakota in “class.” Dad went on to serve his country with honor and distinction in the U.S. Air Force. However, he could never ever escape or outrun his post-traumatic boarding school demons. I remember our father, in the stillness of the predawn darkness — weeping uncontrollably in his sleep.
This Memorial Day I honor my father, Staff Sergeant Melvin Martin, for his heroic service to a country that tried to forcibly erase his cultural heritage and strip him of his Indigenous identity.
Love you, miss you dad,
Your son,
John

On #PresidentsDay, it is important to recall that at least twelve U.S. presidents enslaved Black people, eight while in office. Two-thirds of the first 18 presidents collectively enslaved nearly 2,000 Black people. We know what largely built this nation, and it wasn’t freedom.
“The usage of ‘They’ as a singular pronoun is something new. We didn't have that back then. The radical-left-wing media is indo–”
Stop before you embarrass yourself even more. Lmao
A major victory! Spain’s parliament has passed a comprehensive law to expand protections and entrench rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people.
This is a significant milestone for the LGBTI movement. https://t.co/Afo1MO7F78
Sponsor @kadyn_wittman said schools meet all the needs of a student except a guaranteed meal.
Sen. Bolin said that providing free lunches teaches kids that everything comes from the gov't & is free. https://t.co/vmRt3jewBV
Despicable.
Not only did the New York Times publish the op ed defending JK Rowling the day after the GLAAD letter criticized its trans coverage...
It publicly threatened all of the trans employees and allies that signed onto that letter.
DROP the New York Times.
Folks, let's talk about periods. Especially after HB 1159, brought by @RepErinHealy was killed today by the House Appropriations Committee. The point of the bill was to exempt period products from taxation. @sdduba, the only woman on the committee, was the lone no vote. 🧵
South Dakota's HB 1080, banning gender affirming care for minors, passes the SD Senate in less than 40 minutes of debate on a 30 YEA - 4 NAY - 1 EXC vote. It will now head to the Governor's desk.
