Charles Flynn belongs in prison
To the Editor,
U.S. Army Lieutenant General Charles Flynn needs to be arrested immediately for facilitating the right-wing domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. Flynn is an accessory to the murder of Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick.
Charles Flynn is the younger brother of convicted felon Michael Flynn, who was National Security Adviser for Vladimir Putin’s puppet Donald Trump.
3 hours and 19 minutes went by before traitor Trump’s intransigent Pentagon (publicly shamed by the television news networks during disapproving live coverage) was finally forced to send National Guard troops in response to pro-Trump terrorists.
Cop-killing conservatives like Charles Flynn belong in prison, not in uniform! Flynn should already be incarcerated awaiting trial on charges of sedition and facilitating the capital murder of a police officer at the U.S. Capitol.
There will be no presidential pardon this time for this fascist Flynn brother. Lock Flynn up!
Sincerely,

Trying to rescind a SD racist law
To the Editor,
Tim Giago’s commentary is absolutely justified. The resolution was not done as a substitution for atrocities and injustices. So you are aware – the resolution was actually killed in the Senate side, although it passed in the House.
There is a group of boarding school survivors that have been fighting against the very law you referring to – they spent more than a decade trying to rescind the law. They have been bringing every year trying to get the law passed so they may have their day in court. Every year, after opening up their traumas for all, they witness the bill gets killed. I know because I’ve seen and heard it done the past three years as a part of the House Judiciary Committee. This past year, I joined their fight in I carried two bills that would give boarding school survivors their day in court. It failed by a large margin.
The resolution was brought forward to honor and bring awareness to boarding school survivors. Because it will take a lot more work from a lot more people to get this issue resolved. It was not meant to offend or be a substitute for injustices that occurred. As you know, Tim, I am a granddaughter of boarding school survivors and would not want to do anything to upset traumas. Like you – some rather not be honored – but then there are those who believe the acknowledgment in itself would promote their own healing. And that is exactly the intent of the resolution for those who needed the acknowledgment to provide some relief. But instead, they got further pain by the resolution’s defeat.

Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
