So not only did TN Republicans strip Memphis of representation, Speaker Sexton is also stripping Dems of committees for protesting it. Watch fascism work. www.wsmv.com/2026/05/12/m...

A black girl born today will have fewer reproductive and voting rights than her grandmother.

Today my teen discovered Hogan's Heroes, and the binge is on.

#SOUTHCAROLINA Filing ends tomorrow @ NOON! We still need candidates for these 12 State House Districts: 4- Pickens 8-Anderson 17-York/Lancaster 28-Greenville 29-Cheeokee/Spartanburg 43-York/Chester 58-Horry 60-Florence 64-Clarendon/Sumter 69-Lexington 97-Colleton/Dorchester 100-Berkeley 1/2

Went to Vital Records, Cola, SC, for certified marriage doc - only had my signed copy of the license. Website said same-day t/a but I was told to order by mail with 4-week t/a. Reg deadline for SC's primary is 5/8. SAVE Act would unfairly burden women, & this wait for docs would run out the clock.

I'm wobbly and afraid of falling off a bike, but a trike is looking better and better.

I wish the trees would get a room.

When leadership fails (looking at you Lindsey Graham and RFK Jr.), we all have to step up and lead. Measles FAQ and resources now live on our campaign website. drannieandrews.com/measles/

@drannieandrews.com is doing more to combat the measles outbreak in South Carolina than our sitting senator, Lindsey Graham, is. Graham's too busy playing golf and watching the Super Bowl with Trump after Trump's racist post to focus on this.

#OTD in 1968, police killed three students at South Carolina State University during a protest to desegregate a bowling alley. Officers were acquitted, and the state never fully investigated. #TheMarchContinues

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrcW...

They are all Black journalists and Black politicians. Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are journalists. Trahern Jean Crews ran for Minnesota's House District 66B. Jamael Lydell Lundy is running for Minnesota Senate District 65.

Moving Bovino out of MN is an attempt to make us believe things are improving, normalizing. They are not. They're holding our heads underwater, then letting us have a little oxygen so we lower our guard. The violence still exists. The concentration camps still exist. Children are still missing.

These states have declared state of emergency heading into this winter storm: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas North Carolina Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Virginia Shall we play Who Will Get FEMA Assistance?

Received word that about 200 students walked out at my kid's school this afternoon. 💙

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

Let's go, Morocco! #Morocco #AFCON

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

Was it “self defense” when an ICE agent repeatedly raped a detained woman? Was it “self defense” when it denied detainees critically needed medical care and killed more than 50 people in detention? Was it “self defense” when it shipped detainees to a foreign torture camp? ICE doesn’t “defend”

After a white county in South Carolina rejected a data center, developers have sets their sights on a Black community for a proposed data center complex the size of 1,200 football fields

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

IT'S ELECTION DAY SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS!!! SC 98th go vote Sonja Ogletree Satani! VA 15th Sen. Dist. go vote for Mike Jones!!!

I've realized the queasiness and anxiety I feel in response to most AI-generated memes is similar to the cybersickness and existential dread I felt when I tried GMod in VR a few years ago. Glad I can hide individual posts if needed, but ughhh...

2026 elections are the near-term ballgame. Voter ID barriers reduce turnout - not because people don’t care, but because access isn’t equal. VoteRiders helps voters get the ID they need to vote. Please consider supporting and passing along. www.voteriders.org

Mom was up early making Hoppin' John, and sis is bringing collards (my dad's side). I'm making sauerkraut and drop dumplings (my mom's side). Some pork on the side for a couple folks; all veg otherwise. But first, more coffee. Happy 2026 - let's sweep out the old!

Watching sis's foster while sis goes shopping. The bird videos seem to help this sweet baby's anxiety 🩵

Fond memories of watching "60 Minutes" and "Evening News" with my dad. Ed Bradley, Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, Harry Reasoner, Andy Rooney, not afraid to call out bad actors. Uncle Walter, measured, factual, and reassuring, even in scary times. But it's over. It's not us, CBS. It's you. #GoodbyeCBS

Just so down.

Looking forward to voting for Dr. Andrews!

We have our Thanksgiving meal on Friday instead of today since my sibling works on Thanksgiving. I like that arrangement because today is very quiet indoors and out, and I've always disliked going anywhere on Black Friday. But regardless, we're #notbuyingit . Wishing everyone peace today and always.

Stay safe, CLT. 🩵, CAE

Kid kept teasing me while I drove him to school this morning. When I finally snapped back, he started singing Mozart's "Confutatis" at me. I will never tire of this.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP. They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown. They’re refusing. Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop. Starvation as a policy choice.

You can’t buy class. Trump thinks marble and gold are classy. You can’t fake empathy. Trump held a billionaires ball the day the food money ran out. You can’t fake decency. Trump insulted Biden after his cancer treatment. Trump is a disgrace to America and human kind. Oh and a child rapist.

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

It’s day 29 of the shutdown and SNAP is set to stop next week. Food banks are already being overwhelmed. If you can, please donate to your local food bank 🍽️ 💵Because food banks can purchase food at a discount, donating money goes further than donating food 📋If donating food, check for a wish list

He's crying to Sean because @drannieandrews.com is raising more money than he is and is going to wipe her operating-room floor with him because people are clicking this link!! 👉🙏🏼 drannieandrews.com/donate

They could also get back to work and reopen the government, which they are also choosing not to do.

🚨🚨REMINDER 🚨🚨 The GOP could fund SNAP with emergency funds & they are choosing not to.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Now this in Chicago Children ... They have to fear GUN DRILLS and NOW HAVE TO FEAR ICE.. Given whistle and instructions No child should live with this

“For every meal a food bank provides, SNAP provides nine. We can’t replace that,” said one director. “We were not built to do this.” Let that sink in. Cutting SNAP doesn’t just starve families, it breaks the last line of defense against hunger.

Republicans are trying to force Dems to break & sign the CR Think about that Republicans want Dems to choose between providing food or health care. Maga is fine with cutting both Let that sink in Please stop voting for these evil assholes

The is happens tomorrow! See y’all there. Rep. Jermaine Johnson making ‘special announcement’ as governor race heats up www.wistv.com/2025/10/17/r...

Meanwhile, Able SC says it is here for the disability community. If you are disabled and need assistance navigating SNAP changes during this time, please call them at 803-779-5121.

Here's a food access map during SNAP uncertainty As the federal government shutdown continues and SNAP benefits remain uncertain, Able South Carolina has shared a South Carolina Food Access Map for those in need. www.wltx.com/mobile/artic...

The U.S. federal minimum wage was raised to its current rate, $7.25/hr., before my kid was born. Next year my kid will graduate from high school.
