For those curious about what she said to warrant the bans:

“My next step would be to do what I can to get a tribe to participate with me to help their kids be more successful,” Noem said. “Because they live with 80% to 90% unemployment. Their kids don’t have any hope. They don’t have parents who show up and help them. They have a tribal council or a president who focuses on a political agenda more than they care about actually helping somebody’s life look better.”

[their children] don’t have parents who show up and help them.

[their leadership] focuses on a political agenda more than they care about actually helping somebody’s life look better.

Every accusation is an admission...

I’m all for indigenous sovereignty but we all need to remember settler culture in South Dakota is just different than general American culture.

These people are just natural born dog killers. We need to accept that some people just aren’t like the rest of us.

So she’ll be allowed back as soon as she declares herself a profitable gas pipeline?

Who cares? She was dead in the water as soon as the puppy killing story came out.

It may be irrelevant to your purposes but it's not irrelevant to the families she affected.

It's good that their leadership is taking a stand.

Ok. I’m very glad for those people.

I apologize for not adequately, recognizing their victories. That was very insensitive of me.

That's big of you, mate. It's not easy to admit to mistakes on the Internet, and I appreciate you taking the time.

[-] livus@kbin.social 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Thanks, kudos to you.

I always love seeing things like this, please don't stop pointing them out. Shared perspective is the only thing that's going to allow us to come together.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
