Nancy Mace report- jumping on the Trump deportation bandwagon again. (Thanks @holycitysinner.com )
It's been a bit since I checked in with our esteemed Representative Nancy Mace. Today, I see she's been taking credit for an infrastructure grant that she voted against and is running a poll asking if Ilhan Omar should be deported. So things are normal over there. x.com/NancyMace/st...

“A small number of mega-rich people are amassing ever-increasing fortunes, which is draining the country, leaving everyday people struggling to make ends meet. It's immoral that we are seeing migrants used as scapegoats.”

3️⃣ Days left until Election Day!

Local elections are super important!

Your local officials decide things like what transportation projects get done, what happens in your local schools, and what local taxes you pay.

Do your research and vote wisely on Tuesday!

Within a week of Donald Trump’s election, Sen. Lindsey Graham counseled the president-elect to quickly send a message to the drug cartels from the White House.
“Blow up something,” Graham told Trump.

American citizens are being attacked by our government.
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Our local Charleston paper The Post and Courier and reporter Komlavi Adissem have details about an illegal ICE detention of a lawfully documented immigrant being arrested and detained.
There are reasons for protests!

An Armenian family moved to SC to live out the American dream. Then ICE arrested the father.
An Armenian immigrant family in Charleston sought asylum. Now their father is being held in ICE detention in Folkston, Georgia after he was arrested by agents.

I think everything on FB or IG is fake unless it’s an organization I follow and trust.
Now AI content farms are hopping on hot topics to spread fake news! 🤦‍♀️
See story below from @newsguard.bsky.social
AI content farms are generating ad revenue by falsely claiming Coke dropped the Super Bowl due to Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny slotted to perform at the halftime show.

One small problem: Coke is not a Super Bowl sponsor.

Not his signature. Final answer.
So…first, it's his signature. Handwriting experts confirmed this. And second, why would someone forge Trump’s signature 20 years ago? For what purpose?

Visa infractions can be settled diplomatically, right? This was a publicity stunt that should backfire, in my opinion.
Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet.
