The best part of this Lindsey Graham temper tantrum story is the Danish Prime Minister’s response to South Carolina’s most famous man-child.

Tonight! @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

Lindsey Graham is getting really unhinged and has been pushing for Trump to start a war with Iran. SC needs @drannieandrews.com

Just texted some folks I know in Texas about this. They like them both, but are voting for Crockett. They are white moderates. I believe them that they like them both. #TXSen

Important read for followers of #SCpol Graham is having meltdowns so severe overseas, our allies are wondering whether he may be seriously mentally unstable. This blog is sourced from a Dutch Newspaper. I think that article should reach the South Carolina newspapers, blogs and FB groups. #SCnews

With different formatting, this would be a good billboard right now.

View from the outside: I wish this were a picture of the two Senators from Texas.

And what is their point?

So Trump, and not the "anonymous staffer," actually did post the Obamas/apes video?

With the first major likely 2028 presidential candidate coming to my town this week, I’ve been reflecting on all the SC Presidential Primary madness I’ve already lived through. #SCpol I’ve been neck deep process-wise on four already: -One as an Obama true believer knocking doors til my feet bled…

Thought of @blu3r4d0n.shutdown.network and the lovely data visualizations he posted today when I read this one. 😁

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” Grid-scale storage. Desalination. Heat pumps. Solar windows. AC clothing. Carbon-free concrete & steel. Green hydrogen. Individualized mobility devices for the elderly/disabled.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Sharing this top post as a screencap because Bluesky moderation has it marked as “rude” hidden it. Yes there was a primary. I was in the local party HQ working my tail off to boost turnout—for all candidates. There were fliers with all the candidates in them. There were phone banks.

It’s actually good to try to activate people’s religious identities, which they’ll continue to hold whether we do this or not, for good. The other option is to make people who would otherwise agree with us into enemies for going to church. That way lies loss to fascism forever.

Tech billionaires want to create their own city-states. Hondurans pay the price.

This is why you don't get Gremlins wet.

“We are not here because we hate America, but because we love it enough to demand better … We love it enough to say that no government should rule by intimidation, and no community should live in constant fear.”

If "AI" was being built, used, and planned for in responsible ways--the way a civilization designed to enhance human thriving would do--then a lot more people would be enthusiastic about its potential. But the people in charge of defining what AI will be are the fucking worst short-term scumbags.

‘a commodification & dehumanization of women & girls. "So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, & transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity," the experts said in a statement.’

Read this sentence slowly: “Gov. Gavin Newsom, crypto executives and business leaders are ramping up efforts this week to stop the proposed wealth tax...” gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...

This is stunning.

The bill removes the current six-year limit for prosecuting second-degree sexual criminal contact with minors. First-degree felonies involving criminal sexual contact with minors already lack statutes of limitation for prosecution.

Colbert usually gets a TV audience of 2M plus change. The interview the FCC & CBS tried to ban already has over 10M views. open.substack.com/pub/calltoac...

With a total lack of qualifications and a platform directly opposed by the Democratic base, he's not going to get anywhere in their primaries. Maybe he runs a third party campaign funded by right-wing billionaires in an effort to be a spoiler, but even then, meh

We wanted to understand how rugged English-Scots-Irish culture has shaped America. So we talked to three white South African billionaires at a sex party in the Bahamas.

Your regular reminder that since August of last year, Mr. Abrego has agreed to be deported to Costa Rica, but the Trump admin refuses to do so because they want to instead punish him by sending him to an African country that will most likely detain and then deport him to El Salvador for the admin.

Jesse Jackson was an early and ardent supporter of gay rights. In fact, on July 17, 1984 at the DNC in San Fransisco, the first speech EVER at a national political convention calling for gay rights was delivered by none other than Rev. Jackson himself.

This looks good.

The EU must start drawing up concrete plans to cope with life on a continent made 4 degrees Celsius hotter by climate change, the bloc’s scientific advisers have said.

"One estimate suggests that since the beginning of 2025, USAID cuts have led to 880,000 excess deaths, including almost 550,000 children. If cuts are not reversed by 2030, 14 million people could die" open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Water is a political issue candidates should talk about proactively. If you are a candidate, inform yourself and work it into your message.

Here is a quotation to absolutely live by.

I was lucky enough to meet Jesse Jackson a few times. There was no one in modern politics who went through the things he did. It meant for unique insights. Here's what he told me about both Trump and Democrats when we spoke in Selma This interview really stuck with me www.yahoo.com/news/jesse-j...

Time to Streisand Effect this, everybody.

#ProudBlue In 2015, when then Governor Nikki Haley had the confederate flag removed from the South Carolina state capitol, I was there & witnessed the removal. Jesse Jackson was there, too. I had an opportunity to meet him and shake his hand. We have lost a truly great man. Rest in power, Sir.

Fascism is here. 🇺🇸 CBS is dead. ☠️ More people will now see this interview Trump tried to bury than ever would have otherwise. 👀

Remembering Jesse Jackson, a proud native of South Carolina, and his powerful visit to Sesame Street, where he spoke with children about kindness, justice, and believing in themselves. May we honor his legacy by continuing to uplift, fight for, and empower the next generation.

Today we lost a giant. My first real political memory was watching Rev. Jesse Jackson speak at the 1988 Democratic Convention with my grandfather in Orangeburg, South Carolina.

RIP Jesse Jackson. Well done good and faithful servant. “We are too blue in our knees to be red in our politics.” Seen here just before the 2019 Democratic Party State Convention in Columbia, SC.

Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico - known locally as the "Playboy Ranch" - faces a $2.5 million probe, after the state opened a high-stakes inquiry. Long shadowed by allegations of abuse has been the subject of civil lawsuits and survivor accounts.

The 2nd time I met the Reverend Jesse Jackson was at a breakfast before an SCDP convention. He ignored the tables of starry eyed people hoping to shake his hand and made a bee line toward my 5 y/o child. He sat with him and talked about life, the world, politics. He obviously loved kids.

Nazi camps were called "concentration camps" because they were designed to "concentrate" enemies of the state—political opponents, Jews, and others into guarded, isolated locations, forcing them to live outside the rule of law under harsh, often fatal conditions without trials.

Today I learned that Gus in the film version of Lonesome Dove was not the real Gus, but an “actor.” He was apparently in other, very minor, films such as “A Godfather.” Probably some religious movie?

🚨 Breaking news in Epstein Case 🚨 The New Mexico Legislature has passed HR1 to convene a Truth Commission and investigate Epstein’s crimes in NM, including at Zorro Ranch—led by State Reps Andrea Romero and Marianna Anaya. Full explainer here: youtu.be/DnOTfR_msPw?...

There will be elections. This f*ckknuckle doesn’t have enough lead in his pencil to cancel them. They may be chaotic. They may be litigated within an inch of their lives. Courtrooms may stay lit through the night. But the polling stations will open. And they will see record numbers. Oh yes.

Me 6 months ago on Bluesky, but also me years ago IRL. 👇

Does anyone have a link to a source on this or a date that it aired?
