Unapologetically progressive Gamecock making good trouble in the Upstate. He/him #YallMeansAll #FlipItBlue #DTWD

[Michael O’Brien @DrOBrienMD]

South Carolina leads the nation in infant mortality, childhood hunger, youth homelessness… but sure, let’s spend Day 1 of the legislative session bullying transgender teens.

Totally absurd.

Another step in #DeSantis fascism parade. Making educators afraid to teach critical thinking with literature.

[Leslie Postal @lesliepostal]

Orange schools reject 673 books from classroom libraries for fear they violate new Fl law. The rejected books include "Paradise Lost," "East of Eden," "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and "Madame Bovary." Story and list (first obtained by @FLFreedomRead): https://t.co/xNWZldrgeS

It’s nice to be unique, but being the only state in the country without a hate crime law shouldn’t be our claim to fame. https://t.co/w2OW96MJJk

The cruelty is the point. Trying to erase the trans community from public life, one cut at a time.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Horrifying bill released in South Carolina, HB4707, would force all K-12 schools to make official policy (and possibly teach): "it is false to ascribe to a person a pronoun that does not correspond to such person's sex"

It would also ban trans teachers from using their title.

Put this one on during the Super Bowl. There’s not a parent/guardian out a there who doesn’t recoil in horror to that splash. #Enough #EndGunViolence

Today is the 11-year mark of Sandy Hook and still nothing has changed. We just released this video @DemocracyMoms with our partners called Thoughts & Prayers. We hope you follow us there and donate to the cause to help us get this on the air. #gunreform https://t.co/DY98A3nvEB

Y’all had ONE job! One! #Enough #GunViolence

[Moms Demand Action @MomsDemand]

Unbeknownst to elected officials and organizations working to prevent gun violence through buyback programs, companies contracted to “destroy” firearms have been reselling nearly complete guns, often without background checks, according to @NYTimes. https://t.co/bJUoeZofGT

The lottery: a tax on people who don’t understand statistics, now without even the veneer of public good.

[Brady Quirk-Garvan @bradyqg]

The lottery already takes a ton of money out of low income neighborhoods.

Now we find out they’ve been sitting on $152,000,000 that should have gone to scholarships and didn’t.

SC higher ed commission sat on $152M meant for scholarships, report finds

@Khallion @hanwaddingham @jasonsudeikis Just saw on FB an account selling your (I assume) pirated work. Should I report that account?

Ticket to Ride fans, rejoice. #Railways #infrastructure #Bidenomics

[Mitch Landrieu Archived @MitchLandrieu46]

TODAY @POTUS will announce $8.2B to deliver the FIRST high-speed rail projects in American history & launch new passenger rail nationwide.

This is Bidenomics at work - getting people and goods where they need to go QUICKLY & creating good-paying jobs.

Another feckless political stunt attacking women’s rights just to curry favor with conservatives instead of actually leading. Shame on Stan. #AbortionIsHealthcare #

[WSPA 7NEWS @WSPA7]

A Greenville County Council member introduced a resolution Tuesday which would begin proceedings to revoke the business registration for the Greenville Women's Clinic. https://t.co/6KEt64ctaX

[Greenville Democrats @GVLDem]

GVLCo Councilman Tzouvelekas is up to his extreme antics again: he wants to revoke the business license from the Grenville Women's Clinic, saying that they are a "nuisance" business. Make sure your Councilperson knows that this is another unnecessary threat to abortion access.

@EdKrassen @NikkiHaley As someone who lived through Haley’s chaotic anti-union, anti-choice, and anti-education agenda… Who used the power of the governor to reward corporations and attack democracy…

Bless your heart.

If this doesn’t make you giggle.

[NYTPitchbot @DougJBalloon]

If people in Trump country are really so intolerant when why is South Carolina the only state with two gay Senators?

[Phillip J. Ford @phillipjford]

The @GVLDem have a lot to be proud of this year. They ran a strong campaign against a 28-year incumbent mayor and held onto their City Council majority.

[Left Leaning Cock @LeftLeaningCock]

@DemFromCT Truth! A lot like gardening, it’s more fun to dig through the… fertilizer when you can enjoy the flowers.
