Mount Rushmore park rangers had a busy Sunday night, according to a police reporter.
Someone illegally hiked up to the base of the monument and there were three vehicles doing "high speed doughnuts" and hitting each other in a parking lot.
Story coming.
Police report*
There's been at least one of these cases each year since 2018. Two men and two women. Both men were from Michigan while the woman were from Nebraska and Indiana.
First time on the portion of the Centennial Trail from Ft. Meade to the base of Bulldog and back. Super flowy with some snow, sand, switchbacks and horses we got to pet. Bruised my thumbnail after hitting a tree but landed in a comfy pile of sand.
My “makeup” look: Natural eyebrows, hair not cut in months, bags under the eyes, chapped lips from being outdoors, sun and/or wind burn, buff “necklace.”
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.”
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.
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
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
