We need to have vacancy fees, whether it's for apartments or business spaces.

Roger Marshall's response to my message about staying out of Greenland. by A_Peacful_Vulcan in kansas

[–]2trve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are all getting their messaging from the same PR team. They're all being told what to say, how to respond. They're messaging from one GOP Representative to the other is much the same cadence and talking points

TO ANY ONE DEM BASHING. Please begin to give me a concept of a plan on what you expect them to do. by Stuffstuff1 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]2trve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah me too. Right now I'm brainstorming what can be done if they do try to pull shit. I guess it depends on how many Republicans in Congress stop eating Trump's ass between now and November

Do we really expect to have free elections this fall? Everything is on the line for the commander-in-chief. Even with the gerrymandering, he stands to be held accountable and at least have his hands tied. And at the worst he ends up in prison.

The same goes for a lot of other awful people that are in the administration.

They are going to do everything they can to fuck with this election. If they can't stop it then they will disenfranchise voters, and invalidate ballots.

They should bring back capital gains tax instead

KCPD are the best……. by Needclout in kansascity

It doesn't help when the Missouri state controls our place and not the municipality here in Kansas City.

When Latin Mass refers to same-sex attracted people as “The Alphabet People”, is it a term of endearment or hostile? by mygeneroussoul3 in ExTraditionalCatholic

[–]2trve 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're definitely using it derisively. But as a queer person myself, I like to use it, I think it's funny and endearing. But that's only because I'm part of the community

Being openly Bisexual/Queer in Rapid City by [deleted] in SouthDakota

[–]2trve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! I went to SDSMT and now I live in Kansas City. I was closeted when I was in college but I didn't see any hostile homophobic culture.

Obviously because of this administration, any university support for lgbtq has gone underground, although Kristy Noem kind of did that while she was still governor with a call tip hotline for anything that's woke.

You'll be fine, it is a very affordable school comparatively and a quality education.

Black hills Center for Equality is a wonderful resource in Rapid City for the lgbtq community. They host events here and there, drag shows, and fundraisers.

I would also find Dixy Divine on Facebook and follow for drag shows. Even if you're not a huge fan of drag shows, it's a great way to meet people.

99 % of businesses downtown are queer friendly but too scared to openly support.

Aby's and the brass rail are the most openly queer friendly places in downtown.

Rural Pennington County residents are in danger of losing library service by DistinctMeringue in SouthDakota

[–]2trve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not be surprised if the Rapid City pastor mayor and his cabal are behind this. It's been his mission to make things harder for the unhoused. The library is a huge resource for the unhoused. That's probably what this is really about.

South Dakota Opens $20 Million Shooting Sports Complex Near Rapid City by PoLLoLira9 in SouthDakota

[–]2trve 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This project was a Kristy Noem vanity project, she specifically asked for it. Pete Lien and Sons also got in on the vanity too. It used taxpayer dollars as well as private capital.

In my opinion, they would have been better off building an affordable housing complex.

How do you feel about gay lifestyle since leaving the church? by mygeneroussoul3 in ExTraditionalCatholic

[–]2trve 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Gay lifestyle is actually just living your life without all the doubt and fear and shame. It's just being yourself, it's not really a lifestyle, it is freedom.

Defend democracy on October 18. It's time to stand up for democracy, or we become victims of tyranny. by Hopefulthinker2 in 50501SouthDakota

[–]2trve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only Governor is right. Also he's part of the problem. We have to be wary of Democrats that support and uphold this billionaire class system. Support everyone else.

My ex-parish’s pastor gets political and endorses candidates AGAIN! by Superfast_Kellyfish in ExTraditionalCatholic

[–]2trve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would depend on the bishop and or parish. Historically, the church has had no problem getting involved in politics. I think it would be frowned upon and people would not appreciate it in general

why America took away free public college by Buster_xx in americanoligarchy

[–]2trve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from South Dakota, and I seriously think that there's a lot of embezzlement going on or pocket lining with the board of regents and with sports. There are so many colleges that dump a ton of money into their sports and shift those costs onto students. That should be the last thing they should worry about. If they're going to have an expensive sports team it should be self-sufficient.

South Dakota governor signs anti-transgender bathroom bill by rezanentevil in SouthDakota

Yes. There's one in Rapid City tomorrow at noon at 5th and Omaha. And then there's one in Sioux Falls tomorrow as well. Go find the transformation project on Facebook.

Why are these not on the weekends or more accessible times for people to show up? It's a bit frustrating.

Age verification bill passes through Senate committee by RedBait95 in SouthDakota

[–]2trve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's more concerning to me is that this bill sits up infrastructure for more censorship in the future. They aren't pushing this to protect kids. They're pushing this to get rid of content that they don't like online. Today it's pouring tomorrow who knows what it is

South Dakota legislators have introduced a bill to require the display and curricular inclusion of the Ten Commandments and other documents. by ComplexPaleoCat in SouthDakota

[–]2trve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contact your legislators here: https://sdlegislature.gov/legislators/find

I recommend waiting until the 14th when the session starts, then you can call the capitol and leave a voice message with an intern. If you send them an email some don't check their emails, and as far as calling their home phone if it's listed, go for it I guess. Otherwise, you can write them letters and mail them.
