Welcome to the age of toxic masculinity in Donald Trump's America.
A South Dakota school board voted unanimously to cancel homecoming activities that would have featured a football game between the Sturgis Scoopers and the Pine Ridge Thorpes after a car bearing hate speech and a symbol painted on it that some said resembled a swastika was smashed by Sturgis students.
Sturgis is home to Fort Meade: one of the last outposts supporting the US Army's war against Native forces.
While incidents like this one in Meade County are not uncommon in South Dakota white nationalist incitements have intensified because of Trump's history of sexual violence, hateful lies and propaganda.
A 17-year-old boy will face adult charges after the body of a teenage girl from Wyoming, who was believed to be missing, was found in the basement of his Sturgis home. No cause of death has been officially released. An autopsy is scheduled for later this week. [Rapid City Journal]“Go back to the rez!”

The Meade County Sheriff’s Office has been inundated with civil service papers, and Sheriff Pat West said demands for service only keep going up.
On March 17 West told the Meade County Commission that his officers have been spending more time than ever serving divorce papers, foreclosure notices, seizing property due to lack of payment, garnished wages notices, property sale notices, and more. Next month, he said his office will oversee four foreclosed house sales.
“It’s just people not paying their bills and getting into trouble,” West said.
