Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.

The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

Food for thought, especially in South Dakota. When the political pendulum swings, those Trump flags could be replaced by foreclosure signs.
