@realEstateTrent Maybe folks w/this dev could help with affordable housing development in communities across the country with a build-up of HUD funds? Can be used for homeownership or rental development in partnership w/npo’s. Look for communities who receive HOME, CDBG, HOME-ARP.

Immensely proud of #SC Sister Senators, the courage & self-sacrifice they showed on behalf of women in SC. Well-deserved recognition by @JFKLibrary @CarolineKennedy. Thank you @KatrinaShealy @MiaforSC! We need Profiles in Courage and brave women in office today more than ever.

The head of the association representing SC school librarians has resigned because of the impact of right wing assaults on libraries on her life and family. This echoes what is happening to election workers. — vicious attacks on our friends and neighbors doing important jobs.

With the new school year about to begin, let’s remember that not every student went on a family vacation, visited an amusement park, explored nature or met new friends at a sleepover camp in the woods.

Some students summer highlights include having a roof over their head and just enough food to survive.

These students have been counting the days to return to school for safety, consistency, support, friendship, nutrition, and hope for the future!

Thank you for everything you do for our students!

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

God, Guns, Thoughts and Prayers

A fable about gun violence in America.

There once was a country was plagued by mass shootings, so they prayed to God for help…

@XedoBandito @TaxSlayer If you go through IRS website, there is a list of companies who are part of a prog called “IRS free file.” Tax Slayer participates, allowing anyone w/AGI under 78K file free fed and state filings. This is different from their other free file prog. They don’t advertise it.

[Callison Rawl Richardson @Callison_RR]

@TaxSlayer @XedoBandito We qualify for Free File according to the guidelines, but the checkout process for @TaxSlayer continues to add in charges of $128 in filing fees and taxes. Definitely using the correct site. Is there something I’m missing?

Republicans think that they won last night.
They did NOT win!

Here's a video of a 'Covenant Mom' embracing expelled Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson.

- Make sure this video goes viral.
- Make sure everyone knows what this man stood for and what Republicans stood against.
- Make sure you never forget what happened last night in Tennessee and 9 days ago in Nashville!

THANK YOU Tennessee Three!

@greenhousemd Gus and I are down here, were on the beach abt a half mile away when it happened. My mom walked down to the pier just yesterday. I share circles with TN school victims. The degrees of separation w/these gun violence events are getting smaller. We don’t have to live like this. 💔

By a vote of 113-0, the SC House has passed H 3908, a bill to provide six weeks paid parental leave to educators. This bill would make South Carolina the first state in the southeast to offer this six week benefit. (1/2)

This bout to be a lengthy thread. But I need y’all to walk with me real quick.

All Christians do not practice the same religion. We ain’t all got the same Jesus stayed on our mind.

Allow me to demonstrate, real quick.

A few months ago, somebody tried to kill Paul Pelosi. 1/9

I mean, I just don’t think we’re going to stand before God on the great day & hear him say, you did such a fabulous job of publicly humiliating heretics. Those pictures were hilarious! Those quotes were the perfect burn! Get in here & let me hug your neck & hang a medal on it.

@ADP_ChadNewell @bobgoff @ADPHattiesburg So much fun! The perfect way to wrap up steller ADP year. Congrats, Chad!

@ChrisTrainorSC @MelronK @ColumbiaPDSC He is just the very best! We are all better and better off for having him in our community.

With Trump back on Twitter,
it’s a good time to watch this Jan 6 hearing. It covers each of Trump’s tweets that day, including those that have been deleted, and features multiple Trump WH staff describing his inexcusable conduct during the violence. https://t.co/pVSGKf5q0P

Turn off the noise and embrace the opportunities to make your corner of the world more lovely. This Hugging Mom has me smiling this morning.

[Dara T. Mathis @TrulyTafakari]

How I became the Hugging Mom 🧵:

Every day when I drop my son off at preschool, I give him a hug and wish him a good day. I tell him I love him while he runs off to play with his friends. Last week, after I hugged my son, something different happened.
