COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A Republican member of the South Carolina House who prosecutors say used the screen name “joebidennnn69” has been arrested and charged with 10 counts of distributing sexual abuse material involving children.

RJ May was arrested at his Lexington County home after a lengthy investigation and was ordered Thursday by a federal judge to remain jailed until his trial.

The three-term Republican is accused of using “joebidennnn69” to exchange 220 different files of toddlers and young children involved in sex acts on the Kik social media network for about five days in spring 2024, according to court documents that graphically detailed the videos.

I want anyone reading this to meet Missouri House Representative Raychel Proudie of the 73rd district in St. Louis County. She wouldn't let them get away with their nonsense: they only finally decided to pass a bill helping poor folks when then rich would benefit from it. A capital gains tax.

"How dare y'all," she says, "I've been in here for seven years and now all of a sudden we care enough about people who are on Social Security and poor folks with circuit breakers and pink taxes and everything else when we've had ample opportunity to pass this year after year after year after year, but only after it's attached to something that's going to work for rich folks... do we care enough about this. Gross. And then have the audacity to say, 'Oh, if you don't like this, you don't care.' Y'all are too strong. No I don't care about the folks who got to go and buy boats and you can put that on Facebook."

This is just a small excerpt from the video above. She is a great rep fighting for her district and calling out the bullshit going on. More folks should know about her.

Its worth reminding everyone that America broke from English rule (for all intents and purposes) in 1776. We didn't become the United States(for all intents and purposes) until the implementation of the Articles of Confederation; which, depending on who you research, wasn't until 1789. (Dates are always wishy washy). State representatives don't represent the government to the people. State representative represent the people to the government

something i think about a lot and don't see discussed often in the silt verses are the narrative foils and parallels shared by the saint electric and VAL, particularly when it comes to their respective endings. a woman sacrificing her humanity in flames and undergoing apotheosis, elevated not merely to sainthood but ascended to godhood, and losing the entirety of herself in the process, becoming a product to be traded and sold, and a woman who sacrificed her humanity to be made into a commodity, a "valuable" weapon, finally rejecting her attempts to claim that same godhood in favour of reclaiming her personhood in a similarly fiery death. the peninsulan propaganda machine's greatest triumph, and its most damning defeat. the beginning and the ending of the same tragic story.
