[BBC]: South Carolina man to be executed in US by firing squad

Performative cruelty--spectacle, blood lust. 2025 in America.

BBC News · Brad Sigmon: South Carolina man to be executed by firing squad - BBC NewsBrad Sigmon will be the first person in the US to be killed by firing squad in 15 years.

Republicans have a supermajority in South Carolina’s Senate: 46 members, and zero women. “Similar postelection stories are playing out across the Southeast, a region long defined by traditional culture and conservative politics. All but one state that held legislative elections last fall in this region saw losses of Republican women, including Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas and South Carolina,” writes @ProPublica’s Jennifer Berry Hawes. The rest of the country saw gains for women in legislatures — so why is this region bucking the trend?

But why are teachers experiencing this kind of turnover? According to Study.com's Teacher Retention and Support survey, 70% of teachers say staff shortages impact their workload. In many cases, the increased load doesn't translate into increased pay, leading to burnout, especially among younger educators.
