Child care is infrastructure. Believer that we can and MUST do better. The guns are the problem. Policy rules everything around me. My blood is partially sweet tea (but not too sweet!).
Apparently, Diane Mitchell is mad because of Democracy. People should be allowed to vote in whatever primary they want to.

She still won.
She still sucks.
Stop rigging the game and complaining when you STILL won and you didn’t have a Dem challenger because of gerrymandering.

Using American power to line private pockets. We’ve seen this before.

America cannot “run” Venezuela & be dragged into another reckless foreign engagement that leads to endless war & suffering.

No matter what happens next, Congress must assert its role as the voice of the people.

Nicolás Maduro is a brutal dictator. No one should defend him.

But what Trump & his cronies like Lindsey Graham are pushing has nothing to do with democracy or helping the Venezuelan people. They’re chomping at the bit to seize Venezuelan oil & dish out the profits to their billionaire buddies. ➡️

Once again, the hypocrisy from Trumpers is in full view.

Is it “stay out of foreign wars,” “start foreign wars,” or just “whatever our ignominious leader is for, I will figure out a way through my disbelief to justify it.”

SC General Assembly (super majority R): we are going to require birth even if it kills you!

MAGA: We are going to make policy to promote higher birth rates (even if they make no sense).

Also both of them: We will cut child care and SNAP, so that your children die AFTER they are born due to hunger!

One of our Greenville City Council at-large candidates actually does things, and the other just watches and talks about doing things. Do you know which is which?

It’s still the guns.

Great news.

So the thoughts and prayers/guns for everyone crowd now thinks sending troops to schools is a good idea.

What’s next? Troops everywhere?

Sure, spend billions and make us all live under constant government occupation when you could just pass gun legislation that makes sense.

Ban assault weapons.

To all the gun owners who are “feeling attacked” when people want gun sense legislation:

Why are you feeling attacked? I’m a gun owner too, but I’m not feeling threatened by people wanting gun legislation to protect our children (and everyone).

But also no, you don’t need an assault weapon.

Greenville County Probate Judge Chad Groover thinks that everyone can afford an attorney to provide estate planning and will services. And he thinks if you can’t afford that, you basically aren’t adulting.

Attorneys for these services can range between $500-$5000 and more.

My mom always put rice, pasta, and flour in the freezer.

Want to know why?

Weevils.

Check your grains for them when you purchase so that you don’t spend your entire day and night ridding yourselves of this nightmare.

How crazy would it be if Trump didn’t even sign the bill now?

Got a letter from my baby at camp. It made me cry—feels so good to hear from my little guy!! 💕💕💕

Hey Greenville, wouldn’t it be nice to have a City Council that reflects the 51% female population?

Yet another reason to elect Tina Belge and re-elect Lillian Brock Flemming.

We aren’t going down to 2 women out of 7 City Council members.

Had a dream that Sen Lindsay Graham said Trump was wrong, and that he was ONLY interested in protecting the most wealthy in the US. He seemed ready to fight.

What a dream.

Yes…because you wouldn’t want consumers to be aware of what you’re doing to them….

I usually let whatever the Trump administration does wash over me because it’s all bad. I don’t let it affect me too deeply because it all could.

This morning, I had an emotional moment with Carney’s win.
