WE MUST FLIP CONGRESS IN 2026!

Countdown to 6/14 No Kings: Please call your Reps and relay to staff you want to see them in the streets with us on 6/14. Get confirmation if you can. We need to send a powerful message that we stand together and we will not be silenced nor back down! #WeWillNotBeSilenced #NoKings

Remind all Republican Senators of the oath of office. Here is a link. They never took an oath to a president! www.senate.gov/about/origin...

If you are suffering from childhood trauma I fully advise against reading any of the legal documents surrounding the case of RJ May. It is truly disturbing. #SCPOL

STATEMENT FROM SCDP CHAIR CHRISTALE SPAIN ON THE ARREST AND INDICTMENT OF STATE REPRESENTATIVE R.J. MAY

This Is What An Insurrection Looks Like!

This is the founder of the SCGOP group that claims to be working to protect children. He’s been arrested for owning sexually explicit images of children. He is about to learn the eye of the state is unrelenting. Justice comes for those that deserve it. www.thestate.com/news/politic...

Lead, follow or get out of the way! We need the GREAT 8 counties of District 7 to show up in a BIG way on June 14 at 10AM, Chapin Park in Myrtle Beach. Trump and the MAGA minions are counting on us sitting on the sidelines. Peaceful-YES! Passive-NO! www.facebook.com/share/1YpQy9...

Lindsey Graham knows the cuts to Medicare and Medicaid in the Big Beautiful Bill are extreme and unpopular. So he’s working on separate legislation to force the cuts through if they get removed. Unreal. www.semafor.com/article/06/1...

Representative Jermaine Johnson's Statement on the arrest of Representative RJ May. #SCPol

House Representative Jordan Pace on Wednesday evening called for the resignation of House Rep. RJ May following the Lexington County Republican's arrest.

When your @AGAlanWilson is careless with their words and the power of their voice, we must be safe and aware. As a SC Dem, we don't support lawlessness and we truly back our blue but can all of you say the same? #SCPol #New52

OH, AND #NotADragQueen !! A freaking SITTING STATE REPRESENTATIVE!!

We need to stop the Republican assault on children’s health.

I asked the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development this morning how he planned to ensure Americans—especially our veterans and disabled people—aren't evicted from their homes if housing programs are slashed by half under Trump's budget. He didn't have the answers.

#SouthCarolina State Rep. Robert “RJ” May of Lexington County, who founded a hard-line conservative House faction and ran campaigns against fellow Republicans, is in law enforcement custody facing potential federal charges. #scpol Read the details here:

Those aren't protestors or rioters in LA, they are just tourists. Did I do that right?

Per FITSNews, former SC Freedom Caucus Vice Chair & current SC House Rep, RJ May III, was arrested this afternoon. FITSNews has previously reported on the 8/5/2024 search warrant stating it was due to a “fed investigation into child sex abuse materials”. #SCPol www.fitsnews.com/2025/06/11/f...

Clean energy tax credits are critical for SC businesses scdailygazette.com/2025/06/11/c...

I think this is a much bigger and harder fight than they suspect. There's huge injustice in telling people they cannot have something (marriage, in this case) that others may have without question. It's a totally different (and much more egregious) injustice to try to take away something the

There’s no such thing as a social media site with any partisan constituency where no echo chamber aspect exists.

Unconscionable. Their oath means nothing to them.

🗞️ HEAR YE, HEAR YE! ⏩There Won't Be a March in D.C. This Weekend!⏪ Instead, the "flagship" #NoKings Day event will be held in Philadelphia, where they know a thing or two about REAL patriotism! 🇺🇸 Follow these pro-democracy activists, do-gooders, & Philadephians & plan to attend an event near you!

Alan Wilson is claiming there may be violence at the No Kings protests in SC & says that South Carolina is a "law and order" state. But he once had lunch here with Kyle Rittenhouse. www.wyff4.com/article/kyle...

Troops on our soil. This is not normal. Donald Trump has deployed more military forces against our own people than we have stationed in Iraq. Here's what I have to say: open.substack.com/pub/vincent4...

*THIS IS AUTHORITARIAN SHIT* If we do NOT show up #June14th #NoKingsDay the HOME OF THE BRAVE & LAND OF THE FREE that we ALL hold so dear will further slip away from Democracy & into Fascism. DO NOT LET FEAR HOLD YOU BACK & REMEMBER - Trump Always Chickens Out #NoKings #SCprotest #SCPOL #50501SC

SC Senate Democrats are hitting the road! They're holding town halls across SC to listen, learn, and lead in every county, not just where Dems hold seats, because every South Carolinian deserves to be heard. This is how we build real change. wach.com/news/local/s...

Excited to announce endorsements from four South Carolina leaders who’ve spent their careers fighting for families & our future. Thank you to Judge Tamara Curry, Sen. Brad Hutto, Sen. Tameika Isaac Devine, and Rep. Courtney Waters. We’ve got momentum, and we’re building a coalition to win.

10 years later, we still say their names. We still carry their legacy. The Emanuel Nine lit a path forward—let’s keep walking it. #EmanuelNine #CharlestonStrong www.counton2.com/news/their-l...

Winning! Right? No. Trump’s deal means American families get hit with 55% tariffs – we foot the bill at the store. Meanwhile, China pays just 10%. That’s not tough on China. That’s tough on us.

What the hell is the point of government if it can't even help children who are victims of sexual assault? Oh and the federal government is cutting programs for survivors as well–don't think I've forgotten about them. Get these people out of here in 2026, we have real work to do.

At an ICE protest on June 10, 2025 in Philadelphia, a police officer kneels on a protester’s neck. He knew he was being filmed but had no problem doing this.

@jestastrophy.bsky.social is a generous, kind and relentless fighter for freedom, justice and democracy. Please follow her and this fabulous starter pack!

Great clip. Glad to be standing up with all of you. 🩵💙🩵💙

I know there’s serious news, but this? Too good not to share. Gavin Newsom’s office just posted a clip of EMPEROR PALPATINE reading Trump’s unhinged Truth Social rant about the L.A. protests. It’s trolling at its finest. The Force is strong with this one. 💀👑 #NoKings #FreedomToDissent

Florida's FEMA replacement doesn't fill me with Hope. Step up and keep FEMA working for us. ✍️ resist.bot/petitions/PF...
