Remember, even though there were many British loyalists in South Carolina, there were also so many revolutionaries ready to stand up against a tyrannical king.
Revere’s ride was an act of communication and critical to the rapid mobilization of American forces.

People like John Rutledge, and Wm Moultrie helped to organize the SC resistance.

Francis Marion gained notoriety as the “swamp fox” to elude the Geo III.

Revere’s ride forever ties us together.

We're thrilled to announce that the new Midlands chapter of the non-profit Food Not Bombs will be joining us at our 4/19 event in Columbia!

They’ll have a table set up and be accepting donations of essential items that will go directly to supporting our local community.

Seeing that some of the never Trumper’s are further left than the entirety of the Democratic establishment is making me laugh and realize how deeply fucked up the Democratic Party is at the national level.
Most of America is ready to rumble but Chuck Schumer would rather make deals with the fascists

To those protesting/rallying on 4/19: consider taking part of that time to call attention to this travesty by taking a seat in line with other protestors, your hands on the back of your head, for 10 minutes of silence. Sometimes speaking up can be done with silence.
This is torture Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, Nancy Mace, Joe Wilson, Sherri Biggs, William Timmons, Ralph Norman, and Russell Fry support.

#ReturnTheDisappearedNOW
CECOT isn’t a prison—it’s a torture chamber built on mass incarceration and fear.

No trials. No sunlight. Just starvation, beatings, and silence. The EL Salvadoran govt says they’ll “never get out.”

This is a human rights nightmare.
Watch this video.
Share it.
And raise hell.
