It hurts to see the place I grew up--the place that I still consider home, in a lot of ways--seemingly intentionally sacrifice itself to this thing.

When the governor acknowledges that South Dakota is looking at 70% of the state getting the disease, and that same governor is refusing to issue a stay-at-home order, I don't know what to do with that.

And now that same governor is enlisting the state in a clinical trial for the wonder drug that Trump owns stock in. Whatever. I hope it works. But it's bemusing.

I called her office last week and begged her to issue a stay-at-home order. I told her I'm scared I'll never see my family again.

Do you want to call too? Okay, here you go. It's 605.773.3212.

When South Dakota was trending on Twitter yesterday, I saw some tweet that showed a photo of Charles Darwin with the caption, "Don't worry, I've got this."

If you think it's funny that this is happening in a conservative state or that the population that elected her somehow deserves this, then please unfollow me. I have nothing to say to you.
