The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

NEWS: Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler has RESIGNED after newly released emails exposed a years-long personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — including advising him on handling sex crime accusations, media scrutiny, and accusers.

You might think that the inhumane conditions at America's concentration camps is because of this administration's usual lazy incompetence, but, no, it's because of this administration's usual vicious cruelty.

👀 👀

Trump and the DOJ are covering up for powerful world leaders who are named in the Epstein files—including themselves. From the glimpse I’ve seen in the files, it’s much bigger than we ever imagined. We won’t stop until the truth comes out and justice is served.

we are hurtling toward a transgender genocide in this country and I genuinely don't know how to sound the alarm any louder about that

Well, this certainly doesn't make me feel any safer. 🎁 article www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

@wright2026sc.bsky.social Sylvia Wright and Mallory Dittmer held a great conversation this evening on status of public education in SC. Check them out, attend an event to hear them speak and donate to their campaigns to make a better SC. @dittmerforcongress.bsky.social

Let’s change SC! #NewSC @drjljohnson.bsky.social

If you’re looking for an end of 2025 donation, then I recommend Dittmer for Congress. Mallory is running to represent District 5 SC in the US Congress. Let’s help her get there by making a donation by midnight tonight at tinyurl.com/mallorydittmerforcongress to help start 2026 strong!

Call now. You can use the @5calls.org app, they have a script for this. Unless you're repped by @padilla.senate.gov, whose turned off his voicemail bc he doesn't care about his constituents.

DO NOT CAVE!

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.

@dittmerforcongress.bsky.social so excited for a breath of fresh air candidate for SC District 5

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and several other Trump officials are using Washington-area homes built for senior members of the military. Some former residents are worried that the break with tradition could make it more difficult for some admirals and generals to find affordable housing.

When all of these cruel people are up for re-election, these tweets need to be on every single campaign flier by their opponent.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Whatever is or isn’t “beneath ICE,” assault is a criminal act. That’s why @repdangoldman.bsky.social and I referred this ICE officer for felony prosecution. We aren’t holding our breath for Pam Bondi to uphold the law. But we won’t stop demanding accountability. drive.google.com/file/d/1FujS...

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

Important. Clear, concise, imperative. Please watch.

how I want my tax money spent.

The bans on books by and about BIPOC and queer people should be doing this already. But as much as folks have shouted for years, there's still a helluva lot of silence so.

My National Book Award-winning novel Last Night at the Telegraph Club was banned statewide in South Carolina because it includes descriptions of "sexual conduct." Why are book banners so scared of sex? I wrote about this in the @scdailygazette.com today. scdailygazette.com/2025/05/08/w...

The State Board of Education has called on Beaufort Schools to reconsider book challenges it previously considered. The Board is hearing public comment now. m.youtube.com/watch?v=xq6E...

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

Community, nonprofits join hands around State House to push for hate crime bill www.wistv.com/2025/04/23/c... @maddow.msnbc.com SC has been fighting for a hate crimes bill since the Charleston Massacre. The racists in the Senate refuse to pass it.

People in states with abortion bans are twice as likely to die during pregnancy. This is true for SC. Our maternal mortality rate went from 8th highest in the nation to 7th highest after politicians banned abortion here. But legislators truly don’t care. @19thnews.org

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Black, brown, & LGBTQ folks need to be respected when they say they don’t want to play games with this regime. They are visible targets. Honestly, white people who are native born need to lead this charge and move from talk to action. Protect our peers who have much more to lose!

JKR is 🗑️ and Harry Potter is not worth the nostalgia if it hurts trans folks… So try one of these (even better) books to fill that hole in your heart! Similar vibes (magic, friendship, found family, and/or boarding school) but significantly more inclusive!! About 2/3rds of these authors are queer:

@lynnteague.bsky.social was one of the great speakers at the #HandsOff rally at the Statehouse. She shared the actions @lwvsc.bsky.social is taking to stop gerrymandering in SC.

I see this as an opportunity to get rid of him as my so-called congressman. Now let’s find a candidate and support her/him. tegacaysun.com/2025/03/28/s...

In my overly long political career, I have never seen anything as substantively inexplicable or politically suicidal as Trump’s decision to sink the economy and raise prices immediately after being elected to improve the economy and lower prices. www.messageboxnews.com/p/trump-is-c...

Kevin Young, director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, has been placed on personal leave indefinitely. He will probably be replaced by someone who believes “we always treated our slaves right.”

Lest you think this is just impacting public libraries: school libraries are going to suffer greatly if this funding disappears. State level funded databases aren't something school libraries can replace at a local level.

While ILMS funding supports many programs, poor rural communities will likely feel these cuts first and most deeply. Rural libraries, which serve as lifelines to communities w/o reliable access to broadband, rely heavily on this funding for survival. This is criminal. www.pbs.org/video/defund...

Our York County (SC) Public library needs some love, support and advocacy.

Help me advocate for bigger, better libraries in my county!

They are hoping you will see the name Mahmoud Khalil and won’t care if he is illegally detained…

Trump has been president for 31 days. He only slept at the White House for 19 of those days. The other 12 were at his properties, among his customers. Gift link: wapo.st/434l8fD
