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!).
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?

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?

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

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.

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.

The callousness that I heard today when some people were talking about immigrants made me sick to my stomach.
This is not ok.
And no, the Greenville County Sheriff’s Department does not need to be more involved. They need to have the same empathy they preached about for fellow officers.

Today, a guy was complaining about shoplifters. He doesn’t own a shop, just complaining.
I later mentioned to him that these tariffs are going to make shoplifting worse. He responded they are “temporary.”
Even if they are, how is this helpful? How can any reasonable person be ok with this?

Was just sharing with my husband about the NC family in White Lotus, and he said, “so basically it’s about the Murdaughs.”

Someone special to my family from the DR told me today that Latin Americans are telling each other not to even visit the US because of the way the Trump administration is behaving. I agree with them.

Our water commissioners shouldn’t be climate deniers. And if you’re a Trump supporter, how else should we think of you other than unfit to protect our natural resources?
