This week’s CMOR photo is from Meade County, #SouthDakota.
“These are a few of our stock dams that are nearly dry and ponds that are completely dry that we rely on for our cattle to water from. Also, our pasture in Meade County has no forage left. Having to feed hay much earlier and later in the year and more often than we ever have. Cattle are struggling to stay in good condition.”

The American Prospect · South Dakota and Louisiana Voters Let Lawmakers Have ItRepublicans in two states failed to twist the ballot initiative process to their ends. But the fight is far from over.
The South Dakota Democratic Party announced that Nikki Gronli, USDA Rural Development State Director under Biden will be holding four Empty Chair Town Halls over the next few weeks, across the state, since the Republican electeds refuse to show up.
In a statement explaining why she’s holding these, Gronli said:
“A chainsaw has been taken to the pocketbooks and retirement plans of hardworking South Dakotans, all while safety net programs are being dismantled. The Executive Branch is overstepping its authority and our Members of Congress have been instructed not to hold town halls. South Dakota voices deserve to be heard. That is why I'm holding these town halls across the state that are open to everyone.” #uspol #uspolitics #southdakota #democracy #Democrats https://www.sddp.org/post/usda-biden-appointee-to-hold-town-halls-across-south-dakota

CBC had a story on US farmers being upset about Trump's tariffs:

For reference, #NorthDakota and #SouthDakota voted roughly 2/3 for Trump. Farmers are a fairly conservative bunch by nature, and it's reasonable to assume that the percentage of farmers voting Trump was even higher.
It is difficult to muster much sympathy for them. #FAFO, as they say.

I'm scanning my grandma Esther's stuff for lots of reasons: to enjoy some old artifacts, to fill in the family tree, to gather clues to my family's character and by extension my own. Today though I hit the motherlode and found THE PHOTO—not just a nice snapshot, not just some telltale evidence, no, THE ONE PICTURE that explains this entire goddamn country right down to its toes.

“As then-Gov. Kristi Noem crisscrossed the country — stumping for President Donald Trump and boosting her political profile beyond her home state — she refused to reveal what her extensive travel was costing taxpayers.
In the weeks since Noem became Trump’s Homeland Security secretary, that mystery has been solved: South Dakota repeatedly picked up the tab for expenses related to her jet-setting campaigning.
An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity and not South Dakota business. That included numerous trips to Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump resided before retaking office.”
“The expenses, released last month following a lawsuit by The Dakota Scout, have incensed Republicans in the deep-red state, with several GOP lawmakers accusing Noem of tapping state funds to fuel her own political ascendancy.”

South Dakota Badlands Beautiful Afternoon
Four guys from the Twin Cities, went to the SD badlands for an adventure.
The purpose of this trip was:
1. To get away from normal life and to get refreshed a little bit.
2. To hike.
3. To learn some new photography techniques.
4. And to capture a certain picture that I had in my minds eye.
