Today was a beautiful day in Columbia, South Carolina.

Here are some funny posters to help cheer you up about. If you live in SC call or emails your rep. If you need help finding state rep I for, I will be happy to help. 🥰

It also includes the option for civil charges up to $10K. “Violations” include things like texting abortion information or driving someone across state lines. So your friend’s ex-boyfriend’s father could theoretically sue you for $10K for sharing a web link. The whole thing is absolutely insane.

The GOP Has Discovered a Revolutionary New Form of Government: Controlled Self-Sabotage Friends, I need you to appreciate the sheer audacity—the craftsmanship—of what Congressional Republicans have accomplished.

There’s something almost admirable about the GOP’s commitment to this bit. They’re like a method actor who’s gotten so deep into the role of “oppressed minority” that they’ve forgotten they are in charge. It's the most Republican thing I've ever seen. open.substack.com/pub/calltoac...

It’s been officially fall for a month or so, but I just started to feel the chill in the air in SC. Wrapping up my summer of art and resistance, and moving to fall campfires. Still creating. Still resisting. #nokings #myownmusicfestival #fightingfascism #TrumpAdmin www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Au1qtY/

The Secretary of Defense made a clarification, and the DHS secretary…well I don’t know what to say about that. #DOD #Petehegseth #Qutar #idahomilitarybase #thisisamerica #DHSSecretary TikTok video by calltoactsouthernstyle

The Secretary of War made a clarification on Qatar—because making it clear who is in charge at a military base shouldn’t be done in the initial announcement. 😒 Also,Kristi Noem’s post. I have no words—fit for public.

But the worst part? This happened in public. At an official White House event. With cameras rolling. With a full press corps in attendance. They’re not hiding this decision-making process. They’re not... TikTok video by calltoactsouthernstyle

They’re not hiding this decision-making process. They’re not embarrassed by it.

Welcome to 2025, where constitutional law is apparently a DHS matter and the Attorney General is just there for vibes.

One of many concerns from yesterday's White House roundtable discussion. open.substack.com/pub/calltoac...

Suggesting everyone should be in jail is not a solution. Stand up to bad leadership on October 18th. I’ll be in Columbia, SC. Where will you be?

Mike Johnson is finally realizing that covering up for pedophiles is actually pretty unpopular.

Thanks for the share! We need to let everyone know how harsh this bill is going to be on women, doctors, and even information.

The Great Template Letter Caper: How the White House Turned State Legislators into Copy-Paste Warriors Nearly Thirty Republican Caucuses in Multiple State Legislative Chambers Sent the Exact Same Letter to Look Like Grassroots Support for the White House.

Nearly Thirty Republican Caucuses in Multiple State Legislative Chambers Sent the Exact Same Letter to Look Like Grassroots Support for the White House. The lack of normalcy...I can't even visit whitehouse.gov without it turning into a two-day research project. open.substack.com/pub/calltoac...

OMG. That gives me a fabulous visual for a political cartoon. 🤣🤣🤣

That it is. I don't have the energy for complete and total outrage at everything this administration does to try to create new horrendous norms--because it's like four times a day. 😒

Catching up on the president’s social media posts is always an interesting and often alarming task. #thisisamerica #lesscowbell #HeFearsTheReaper #NotSatire. #Politics

I think it is going to be more of a "refuse unlawful orders" situation. At least I hope so.

Are We at War? And How is That Supposed to Work? Stop trying to make domestic deployment happen

The speeches at Quantico made clear these deployments are operating under loosened combat rules: “We don’t fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country.”

It’s been a long week. Are we at war now? I ask because on September 30th, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gathered America’s top gave them a speech that should only be described as “what if a a motivational speaker did a military coup but made it inspirational?” #authoritarian #thisisAmerica

I do love a speech that helps inspire people to take part in civic duty. Dr. Jermaine Johnson speaking at the protest against SC 323. This is the kind of leadership South Carolina needs. @Dr_JLJohnson... TikTok video by calltoactsouthernstyle

Alright one more video from the music festival. Dr. Jermain Johnson has the energy, excitement, encouragement and hope to not just get people to the polls, but also to get them involved in civic action. This is what SC needs #southcarolina #Thismanshouldbegovernor. #S323 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8A8Vqeu/

He did sound off, and super slow.

Yes, and he mentioned Bush...who sent in troops at the request of the governor.

SC is showing up to say No to S323, and having fun doing it! Come out to the next protest. One will be held October 18th for No Kings—and you can protest reproductive rights at that one too! #southcarolina #musicfestival #protestS323 #standup #beheard

Today at the South Carolina State House to oppose S 323—as if our current bans are not extreme enough, they want to also charge women with homicide. If you live in SC, it’s not too late to call your reps and ask them to Vote NO on S323! #southcarolina #s323 #musicfestival #callyourreps

A section of Trump’s speech to military leaders today. During this portion he also mentioned violent criminals, as well as mentioning George Soros and the radical left are paying the “insurrectionists.” #authoritarianism #loyaltytest #departmentofwar #militaryleaders #thisisamerica

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to double check to see if viewing websites counts as Antifa association. Who am I kidding, pointing out the authoritarian implications of these policies already clock me as a domestic terrorist. I guess I’ll see you all in the gulag. open.substack.com/pub/calltoac...
