Just called Senator #ShaneMassey and left a voicemail.

Jim Crow didn’t always start with violence. Sometimes it started with maps, laws, and systems designed to dilute our voices.

We are paying attention.

@juliethardt She mad bc she ain’t got a man. Hating on your son is wild.

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

You can mourn an officer and still want a better system. You can pray for the Keller family and still ask how we got here. Both can be true.

Rest easy, Officer Keller. 🖤

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

Yesterday Officer Don “DJ” Keller of the #Greenwood #Police Department was killed in the line of duty. 31. Army veteran. Husband. Father.

The first Greenwood officer killed in the line of duty since 1956.

My prayers are with his family, with GPD, and with all of Greenwood. 🙏🏾

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

The driver was 15. Passengers 17 and 18. Three young people whose lives are changed too.

I know what it’s like to be a kid trying to find his way. When a 15-year-old is behind the wheel of a chase, that’s not just his failure. That’s ours. We have to do better by our kids.

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

I’ve seen the posts trying to blame this officer for his own death. Nah. 🚫

We can have hard conversations about policing in this state. I have them all the time. But this ain’t it. He didn’t chase himself into oncoming traffic. He was doing his job when a Jeep took his life.

@PamelaEvette @realDonaldTrump You gone sell your soul to Trump huh !!!

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

When students speak up…

That’s not a “mob.”

That’s exactly what higher education and particularly HBCUs is supposed to produce
people who think critically and use their voice.

But when it against yall, it's a problem.

[Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette @PamelaEvette]

Let’s be clear: facts trump feelings in the real world. President @realDonaldTrump and conservatives have done more for HBCUs than any administration in history.

Here is my response to the protests today at S.C. State University.

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

Commencement isn’t just a speech.

It’s a moment that represents years of work, sacrifice, and pride.

Students want someone who respects that
not someone who contradicts it.

The way you're performing for Trump so he will get involved is sick.

[Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette @PamelaEvette]

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

You said facts, so let’s go.

@Scstatebdogs receives about $34.2M in funding.
Clemson gets $219.3M.
UofSC gets $325.9M.

And before you say “fewer students”
the enrollment gap is not 6x or 9x.

Every student needs to be at President’s door until he rescinds offer.

@PamelaEvette @realDonaldTrump Do you know how fucking stupid you sound? You will NOT be commencement speaker at SC State. Perhaps you should go speak for the KKK you ass kissing Trump bunny.

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

That's why I'm running for State Representative. And I need your help.

Go to https://t.co/O7B98xgdoU to learn more about my campaign and sign up to join the team. We can't do it without you.

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

"Space available.” Sign after sign down one road in District 25. Empty warehouses. I see jobs that haven’t been recruited yet. I see paychecks that could be feeding families in our community. I see opportunity sitting there waiting on someone to pick up the phone.

#GreenvilleSC

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

That’s the work of a state representative. Not waiting on the Chamber. Not waiting on the economic development office. Not waiting on anybody else. Picking up the phone, sitting down with companies, and bringing them to Greenville.

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

The next U.S. Senator from Illinois @JulianaStratton got moves. But we love her authenticity. She's gonna be a powerhouse in Congress.

@MagaGrunt1 Trump is a pedophile- hope yal hate him this much also.

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

@DanielDevarjaye Can you also beat being used by republicans!!

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

And this is happening during a government shutdown caused by political gridlock in Washington. So EVERYYYYBODY is impacted. Unless you flying private.

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

If you’re flying this weekend and confused about #TSA #PreCheck, here’s what’s actually going on. 👇🏾

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

Global Entry affects international travelers returning to the US.

If expedited lanes shut down, customs lines could back up fast.

[Derrick L. Quarles ® @PoliticalWiiz]

For those who don't know.. PreCheck allows travelers to keep shoes and jackets on and move faster through security.

If those lanes close, wait times increase significantly.
