I have held off on announcing this publicly. I have Parkinsonism.
I have held off on announcing this publicly. I have Parkinsonism. It started with tremors, teeth gnashing, jaw clamping and stuttering. Led to headaches & brain fog. My wife works in Sanford Neurology. She got me an appointment and sat in with me to make sure I told the Neurologist everything.

I Gotta love living in South Dakota. They always refuse to listen to kids, spread hate, and can't read the damn room. I both love and loathe where I live...Loathe when stuff like this happens.
Open hatred. This feels like something out of a movie like Footloose. Surreal.
Best film to come out this year and it's under 10 minutes long. This is art.

We have not won a war since World War II. We have the biggest, most expensive military in the world and we can't win. The US Military is the Dallas Cowboys of the World Stage.
So, I'm doing a thing "You are receiving this information because you have been elected as a delegate from Minnehaha County to the South Dakota Democratic Party State Convention on June 6, 2026."
I feel like now is a good time to remind everyone that #SiouxperCon hosted the biggest Burlesque and Drag show in #SouthDakota opposite of Noem's Governor's Cup Rodeo for 3 years straight. Same day. Same building. Then gave the door to Make-A-Wish, JY6 Foundation and REACH Literacy.

If you only do good to avoid eternal damnation, a fucking reward system, then Universal Healthcare, free school lunches, affordable housing & other basic altruistic behaviors seem foreign to you. The cult starts in Sunday Scool and spreads like a fucking tumor.
Madhu Gottumukkala, a close ally of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who followed her from South Dakota to Washington, was reassigned this week following his tumultuous tenure at a critical cybersecurity agency.
