I know there’s a national conversation happening about our information ecosystem, but what are yalls thoughts about how best to fill the local information gaps? Existing traditional local news orgs are really not cutting it… so what should we build that would be useful?
“Fuck around and find out” as a mentality has not worked in places like SC where we’ve been under one-party rule for years, by ineffective Republican leadership. How long do we have to wait for the “find out” phase to actually move voters?
Anyone have thoughts about where deeply entrenched red states like South Carolina go from here? We now have supermajorities in our state house and senate. And the “fuck around and find out” mantra doesn’t really seem to phase the majority of voters here. So, what next?
Problems like our liquor liability crisis aren’t going to get fixed if we keep electing the same folks who have sat on their hands for months not doing anything about it.

There is something very special about hearing from people that they’ve voted for you. Through this campaign we have given people a choice that they haven’t had in over a decade. I know that’s special for both them and me. Onward to Tuesday! 🗳️💪🏾🔥
The way conservatives are talking about women right now — treating them as if they have no agency, no voice, shouldn’t have any opinions, should follow a man’s lead at every turn — is exactly how they legislate. It’s sickening.
Yes, because the world we want to live in includes using our tax dollars to fund the time and energy it’s taking to review whether To Kill a Mockingbird, a classic American novel, should be banned from our public schools. It’s getting really ridiculous out here yall…
This moment is all about political courage, and who among us has enough of it to stand up for what’s kind, and loving, and hopeful. Love always wins. We’re going to win.
I could discuss the contents of this mailer we got from Ross Turner for hours, but one thing that makes me so frustrated is how Ross and other lawmakers will spend so much time and energy on huge, consequential legislation like our 6-week abortion ban and then won’t even name it…
