Confirmed for the record - #Verified - had a blue check before 11/7/2022 (thanks

@charles_gaba

for the idea!) I was looking for a tweet from the day I became a blue check this year, but can't go back further than July 19th. So I chose this prediction for Tuesday. #bluechecks

We're here this morning at the house constitutional subcommittee to hear another abortion ban DESPITE the SC Supreme Court finding that we have a conditionally protected right to privacy, including bodily autonomy. Abortion is healthcare. PERIOD #StopTheBanSC

Freedom singing was a vital part of SNCC’s community organizing work. Often stemming from traditional church songs, freedom songs brought people together, gave them courage, encouraged them to participate, and helped them imagine and believe in change.

shares some of the anxieties that these reps have, but raises a central question to this bill: How many teachers did you talk to when you created this bill? If they talked to one, they'd know what kind of problems they face - problems this bill worsens.

Editorial: Reform how SC judges are selected, but make it real reform, not political games

“it’s clear that we still have a judicial system that is controlled firmly by the legislative branch whose excesses it’s supposed to check.”

postandcourier.com

It’s possible that the sturm und drang over overhauling South Carolina’s judicial selection process will subside now that the two female candidates for the state Supreme Court have dropped out,

Protecting the judiciary needs to be at the TOP of our legislative agenda in South Carolina in 2023. twitter.com/LynnSTeague/st
