Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

WHAT IS THE WORST PART OF MY EXISTENCE?

Being Black? No.
Being educated? No.
Being surrounded by easily manipulated people? No.

All of this has always been true.

The worst part is watching people with too much decide the rest of us don't deserve even the most basic amenities.
It's monstrous.
