Defending and advancing civil liberties in the Palmetto State since 1968.
Thank you for giving a strong answer to a ridiculous question, Coach Staley. Trans people belong in South Carolina, and trans people belong in sports!I asked South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley if she supports transgender women (biological males) playing women's college basketball. "If you consider yourself a woman and you want to play sports or vice versa, you should be able to play."
00:00- Look at this blistering dissent from Justice Kagan: "What a message to send to state legislators and mapmakers about racial gerrymandering ...
- A decision about having a baby or having an abortion is a deeply personal, private decision best left to a person, their family, and their doctor. We're celebrating today's decision from the SC Supreme Court striking down a 6-week abortion ban.BREAKING: SC Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN 6-week abortion ban in 3-2 vote, saying it violates constitutional right to privacy: “Six weeks is, quite simply, not a reasonable period of time” for a woman to know she is pregnant and “take reasonable steps to terminate that pregnancy.”
- BREAKING: We’re suing South Carolina over their redistricting process, which largely avoided public input and has left electoral districts wildly out of proportion just months before election season. Voters deserve fair maps — and a fair process to get them there.
- S.C. Education Superintendent Ellen Weaver told a roomful of students they were "misled" about her proposed book censorship policy, R. 43-170. It didn't go over well.

- 👀 At an event in D.C., South Carolina Education Superintendent Ellen Weaver praises "overtly faith-based education" and suggests that rural public schools be replaced by one-room "micro schools" housed inside of churches.
00:00 - Great News! The 287(g) program allows state & local law enforcement agencies to engage in federal immigration enforcement. These programs lead to illegal racial profiling & civil rights abuses & divert scarce resources from traditional local law enforcement functions.
- Attn: Charleston officials: This is what leadership looks like. Brooklyn Center is moving create a dept. of community safety to oversee police & fire & create divisions of UNARMED civilians to handle non-moving traffic violations & mental health calls.
- This part in particular! Did y'all know South Carolinians are footing the bill at $225/hour for a lawyer to promote Ellen Weaver's book banning regulation?
- Trans people belong in South Carolina. We're here today fighting for the rights off all South Carolinians. We aren't going anywhere.
