Trump hasn’t commented on the suicide bombing in a major U.S. city that damaged buildings + communication infrastructure. He’s commented when there’s damage by BLM protesters. This is a reason I don’t like the phrases “tough on crime” or “law and order,” they are subjective.
He also likes to talk about crime when it’s committed by antifascists, Muslims and undocumented people.
Is “tough on crime” and “law and order” ever used to talk about tax crime and white collar crime? Those phrases are usually used by people talking about how they want to crack down on “urban crime.”
Relevant. We aren’t equally “tough” when it comes to tax audits. We’re tougher on poor people:

South Dakota's political leadership says they are pro-life. The state lost a greater share of its nursing home residents to the coronavirus than any other state this fall.

Noting this because it’s significant that we’ve had the worst nursing home COVID-19 death rate in a state that bills itself as pro-life.

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 Zionts, Ha ha. Could there be a mor
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….

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

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.

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.
