“South Carolina Democrats can’t even win a 2nd house seat, how can they win statewide?”
The SC map is so gerrymandered that statewide races range D40-45% while the Dems in congressional races get 28-42% (yikes).
Believe it or not, statewide SC races may be more viable than SC01 or SC02.

This is so awful from Nancy Mace on her vote against allowing new mom’s to utilize proxy voting for 12 weeks after birth…
“As a woman and a mom I think making duly elected women choose between the wellbeing of their infant and their duty to vote is just wonderful” like WTF?

Nancy Mace doesn’t want to talk about how she sleeps with her staffers, sends men to intimidate women who criticize her, calls Capital Police on people who start polite conversation, and is buddies with a literal pedophile… so she bullies trans kids & pediatricians instead.

Trans kids in sports should be a nonissue.
Total trans athletes per state are in the single digits in 2/3 of states, and the majority of these kids aren’t in contact sports.
Meanwhile, an average of 12 kids die from a firearm injury and 32 more survive a gunshot wound DAILY.

2024 started ROUGH but ended up pretty fantastic… and I’m taking all the good vibes into 2025!
I started my first big boy job and moved to a big city by myself, became an obsessive plant parent, and I have the BEST friends supporting me along the way, old & new alike!
Cheers!

“Voters strongly support major health care reforms, from expanding Medicare and Medicaid to a public option and Medicare for All — and they remain supportive even after being told they’d pay more in taxes”
But let’s take a gander… do republicans plan on expanding Medicare and Medicaid? NOPE…

Is #PlantSky a thing yet? Anyway, I bought this anthurium forgettii for 80% off because it had this one leaf left and had spider mites… but I rinsed it, soaked it in peppermint oil and soap, repotted it, and now it’s happily growing a new leaf!!!

Posting this because it would get homophobic hate on X… There is something really emotional about Taylor being my top artist, b/c as a little closeted kid I’d sit in the back seat and secretly mouth the words to Our Song or Love Story… ashamed to like “fem” music. Now here we are Tay Tay!

More than half of America’s children rely on Medicaid for their health insurance, a program Trump & his Project 2025 cabinet plan to gut.. so maybe Americans should start to ‘mind’???

I think it’s actually really sad and really revealing that this conservative Christian legislator took “7 days” to reflect on family and Christ, and his statement upon returning is damning families that don’t look like his own.
Not ‘feed the hungry’ or ‘house the homeless’…?
