Two new drawings. This is my coping mechanism

Big weekend for the boy. Senior recognition for Varsity Bowling and first place at the Cavalier open in Novice Lincoln Douglas Debate in only his 4th meet ever.

Created by my talented friend Brian Downs. Feel free to use. Please credit the artist.

I created this thread on 12/2/24 so people would know exactly who #KristiNoem is. I think it is relevant to share it again.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

This is how I coped with the stress of the Broncos game and dealt with my anger and grief over Minneapolis. Inspired by the work of Daniel Sampere. Alcohol Markers Dual Tip Markers MetallicMarkers Tech pens #FuckIce

The attacks continue to hit closer and closer to home. A former @siouxpercon.bsky.social guest. A performer at the Levitt in Sioux Falls. An honest and decent man.

Silence only delays the crosshairs, it never stops it... Violent illegals... Gang members... illegals... Immigrants... Radicals... Domestic Terrorists... The Lying Press... Leftist Scum... Trans... Sanctuary Cities... Somalis... LGBTQ moms... Clergy... Children... 2A White Males...

ICE just held down and beat a human on Nicolett in Minneapolis before executing them, then fleeing the scene. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Fellow residents of #SouthDakota. It wasn't that long ago that all 3 of our reps in Congress were Democrats. We can do it again. We must vote, we must be informed, we need to boost and support Blue candidates at all levels of Government from School Board up.

Because absolutely no one asked, here are my top Comic books of 2025. I thought long and hard about my list this year. There were a number of fantastic books that came out 2025, one of the best in my 50 years of reading.

American Christian nationalists are the Romans that crucified Jesus.

We should all strive to be more like @danielwarrenart.bsky.social Use the platform and talents you are given to protest out loud.

Oh Look...A Klan Rally with Bad Music, right in my backyard. Fucking great. #SiouxFalls #SouthDakota

Every House Democrat voted to lower health care costs for South Dakotans. Dusty Johnson voted for prices to skyrocket. We are not the same.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

Fuck Donald Trump Fuck Kristi Noem Fuck Kash Patel Fuck the GOP Congressmen Cowards like John Thune, Dusty Johnson and Tim Rounds for allowing this

My newest piece of art. My My. Rushmore Bourdain, Bowie, Obama, Letterman.

Borders get constantly redrawn throughout history. North and South Dakota need to be reflected in the Senate as “one state,” not two. Kansas and Nebraska are also overrepresented in the Senate. Montana and Wyoming should get only ONE Senator each… based upon population.

When Kristi Noem was governor of South Dakota every Native American in the state banned her from setting foot on their land. The entire country is now finding out why.

Last night ICE surrounded a Dairy in Brookings #SouthDakota causing workers to shelter in place. Those that attempted to leave were pulled over immediately so many of the workers slept at the dairy.

To all of you who thought, "What could go wrong electing a stupid, immature, vulgar, child rapist with advanced dementia and no impulse control as our president?": I don't like to say, "I told you so," but I'm willing to enthusiastically make an exception.

#KristiNoem resigned as South Dakota’s governor in January to become the U.S. Homeland Security secretary, but she continued to interest South Dakota readers throughout the year. Mentions of Noem were frequent in our 10 most-viewed stories of 2025:

My son got me a set of King Art dual tip sketch pens for Christmas. These are my first 3 creations. Erica Slaughter Benjamin Grimm Cal Kestis #sketch #artwork

Dealmakers are setting up trusts in South Dakota to avoid paying taxes on carried interest.

My year has been full professionally and personally. Derek John has been the focus of this hectic year. As a 17-year-old senior at Jefferson High School, he is a mentor to freshmen, participates in Quiz Bowl, Debate, National Honor Society, Varsity Bowling, and Pathfinders.

Fights and serious injuries spiked higher in South Dakota’s state #prisons last year than at any point since at least 2018, according to a report released by the state Department of Corrections. buff.ly/zVQ2T8r

I wasted most of my 20's on sex, drugs and Rock and Roll. Flunked out of one college, thrown out of another. Got married at 30, Had our son at 40. Went back to school at 43 Co-founded a non-profit at 46. Graduated college at 47 with 4.0 GPA. Started career as an addiction counselor at 47.

Derek was accepted into his first choice, @carleton.edu College in Northfield, Minnesota. They made a very generous offer to Derek. This is the school he wanted, the school he has worked towards, the school that he deserves. Hard work pays off.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

If this is even close to being true, it's over the GOP. Losing a majority of whites? That's so rare that this would be political earthquake, tsunami, hurricane, and perfect storm all rolled up in one cataclysmic event.

The Department of Education will no longer consider several degrees as "professional," including degrees in nursing, physician assisting, physical therapy, audiology, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology.

Our mission at @siouxpercon.bsky.social has always been rooted in creating community, and that's why we think it's a pretty fun fact that this year's event 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 generated over $𝟭.𝟳𝟱 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 in economic impact right here for Sioux Falls, supporting over 1,000 jobs locally. #Geeklife #fanconvention

Family farmers are being crushed by Trump. Listen to farmers in South Dakota-they don't need talking points, they don't need scripts. This is their life, and they are hanging on to protect it and to put food on tables. Thanks to the DNC for this 8-minute doc. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjyU...

I have it on dubious authority the tariff refund checks are on their way, right after the DOGE checks, which will be issued after the release of Trump’s healthcare plan…in two weeks.
