Today "Kelly" emailed to tell me "the only reason you have not seen any evidence of election fraud is because you are deaf, dumb, and blind."

Both an inaccurate and ableist insult!
My response:
My response in text: OK so you have information about planned, widespread fraud that Trump's Department of Justice and the conservative-majority Supreme Court that has three Trump appointees doesn't have? 1/3
Information that election officials and experts, including Republican ones, don't have? Information that state and federal judges don't have? 2/3
By planned, widespread fraud, I mean just that. Not mistakes people made, not technical errors that were fixed, not individual instances of lone actors trying to vote twice. 3/3
Kelly responded! She provided a bunch of "evidence" but this is the most fascinating part: She truly, truly believes this evidence is real. Maybe some expert in disinformation and conspiracy theories can use this. How does one come to literally believe this?
Kelly's partial response in text: Biden "has been on the take for generations, and is an agent of influence for the Chinese government. This is on record and it’s not a political assertion."

1/3
I have been a Democrat for 20 years. If I thought Trump stole the election, I would be sending these emails to people who were supporting him. 2/3
But I know based on my review of all the evidence, 2000 affidavits, six Senate hearings in the states, review of the documents and affidavits and forensic examinations, there was no question that a massive fraud was perpetrated. 3/3

Today I got the most antisemitic hate email and only threatening email of my career. The man included his name and I found an SPLC profile of him so I alerted RCPD in case he follows through on his threats to me and the Rapid City Journal newsroom. He may be from Michigan. 1/x Text of email:   Arielle Zi...
It's really disgusting+sad that this man and others actually believe in things so hateful. I feel bad for him that he holds these beliefs in his heart. Other Jewish journalists get offensive+threatening messages. So do journalists who are women, Muslim, people of color, etc. 2/x
To clarify I asked RCPD to assess if he will follow through on his threat in case we need protection. That's my main concern. I think he could be charged with this federal law related to threatening communications: law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18….

Gov Noem:

F: Duck hunting in Arkansas with state's lieutenant governor.
S: Meeting w/ FL opioid awareness activist on plane in SD.
S: In DC for award from Mom's For America.
M: In DC to meet w/ Trump instead of voting for him in Pierre.
T: In DC to meet with First Lady.

1/x
Spokesman Ian Fury did not explain what Noem would be talking to the President and First Lady about. He said the state plane – which can only be used for official state business – was NOT used in any of Noem's weekend travel.

2/x
Fury did not respond when asked if Noem believes Biden won in a fair and free election without widespread voter fraud or a rigged election. Noem had not acknowledged Biden’s victory as of last Tuesday, Fury posted on Twitter.

One of my family’s dogs died this morning. Sidney was a rescued nearly 11-year-old English Bulldog. He had a wonderful day outside yesterday and experienced a camp fire for his first time.
He went on a walk this morning and our other dog came to kiss him before he had a seizure or stroke before quickly dying in my dad’s arms.

Here's the full clip where @govkristinoem provides no evidence of purposeful voter fraud (there have been errors that have been corrected). 1/x

.@GStephanopoulos points out that the Gore recount was about one very close state while Trump is behind in larger margins in multiple states, that even with recounts it won't make a difference. He said he's spoken w/ multiple Republican election leaders who've seen no fraud. 2/x
If there was widespread voter fraud I think election leaders and reporters would have noticed it. That would be a great and important scoop for a reporter. Noem points to machine mistakes, clerical issues, dead people voting ... issues that were caught and corrected. 3/x

SD high school students holding Trump flags posed with a student wearing black face. Some students wrote racist comments on the photos while others condoned the black face and comments.
Is justice in this case to criminally charge or suspend the students?

Or is justice having them do serious education about racism, apologize and do some sort of volunteer work.

Which option will create change now+hopefully in the future?
Our country likes to rely on the criminal justice system for many problems. There are other options like education and restorative justice.

What would restorative justice look like in this case+others where students say or do things that are racist, antisemitic, sexist, etc.?
