Description

Tens of trillions of toxic plastic pellets—nurdles—are flooding South Carolina’s rivers, with volunteers uncovering millions near protected areas. These pellets absorb harmful chemicals, entering fish and ultimately our food supply. Environmental groups are now suing companies blamed for massive spills, including a Gaston plant where thousands of pellets have been found downstream despite claims of compliance. Similar lawsuits are brewing in Charleston, where over 25,000 nurdles have been collected since 2021. With self-regulation failing, these legal actions aim to hold polluters accountable and safeguard public health from this invisible plastic crisis.

Charleston Man Arrested for Online Child Exploitation | Charleston News

A 56-year-old Charleston man, Gary Michael Brown, has been arrested on felony charges of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor — a crime that could land him up to 10 years in prison. The bust, executed July 23 by a multi-agency task force including Charleston County Sheriff’s Office, state AG’s team, and Homeland Security, followed a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Authorities say Brown distributed files containing child sexual abuse material. This coordinated effort underscores how law enforcement is uniting online to protect children from predators.

South Carolina Takes Center Stage | Charleston News

South Carolina is poised to take center stage as the first state in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, marking a bold shift away from Iowa and New Hampshire and signaling a new era of inclusivity. Backed by President Biden and Southern Democrats, the move aims to better reflect the party’s diverse electorate, especially Black and Latino voters. Nevada also vied for early status, citing its growing Latino population. While Republicans remain locked into their traditional calendar, Democrats’ decision could reshape the 2028 race — turning the first states into powerful momentum-makers in a wide-open contest without an incumbent.
