Why is SD like this
A lawmaker said she takes #ivermectin during each legislative session but forgot it at home and has been sick without it. She ended up on the losing side of a debate about liability shields for doctors and pharmacists who prescribe or dispense drugs used off-label for COVID.
State House rejects liability protections for unapproved COVID therapies • South Dakota Searchlight
The South Dakota House of Representatives defeated a bill meant to support off-label prescriptions for ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

Men aren’t born with a propensity to commit acts of sexual violence. It is socialized behavior, often learned through abuse itself. Take fraternities and hazing as one example. The slightly older students beat the younger ones and the cycle continues year after year. Sports teams, armies, the same.

Here's an opportunity to support the other journalist arrested today; Georgia Fort, who will have far fewer resources available to her than Don Lemon.
Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.
A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

i don't have much to add that hasn't already been said but if you think going after journalists will convince other journalists to slow down or stop their reporting, you don't know journalists

we are going to be the WORST
Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

Names aren't classified, publishing a government higher-up's name is not "doxxing," and journalists are entitled to publish news, even if it is classified, as long as they don't break the law to get it.
It's not the press's job to keep the government's secrets.

The rule change would have redirected funds from permanent housing to transitional housing. Instead, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will use its 2024 grant distribution method.
