As the last of my family, I intend that every cent within my control will go toward protecting democracy. (And not just when I'm dead, but almost every day.)
As a liberal resident of South Carolina, very little that I've ever done in my political life (especially casting my vote) has made much difference. (My first vote, in '76 for JC was a cruel way to begin.)
But we KNOW that everything now is the product of, as well as the source, of data. I feel fairly certain that Trump actually KNOWS that he has never received a majority of any presidential vote, and simply lies to MAGA about it.
But when Trump sees the data, he also sees MY VOTE as evidence that he is not loved the way he chooses to believe he is.
And that's good enough to keep me engaged in the fight!

Some weeks it’s hard not to feel discouraged, but then you see regular people — city council members, veterans, even a lawyer who used to defend Ken Paxton — standing up and saying “not on my watch.” It gives me real hope.
Grateful to be part of a community that refuses to look away.
There are people that I love who happen to be LGBTQ. It warms my heart beyond anything to see nancy, who bullied and used a Trans womans bathroom rights as a political stunt, get flushed. Vive la South Carolina!
Scott, lots of good news today. No one knows more about Paxton’s corruption than his lawyer so Talarico got a big boost with the lawyer’s endorsement. Good riddance to Mace!
Ken Paxton’s own lawyer picked the Democrat. What does that tell you about November in Texas?
Good, someone with some ethics supporting Talarico! I hope he wins!
Nancy Mace built a career on humiliating people for the cameras—and just finished fifth in her own primary. Have you ever watched a bully finally lose? Tell me about it.
Very glad she was such a loser! Not really, the GREATEST BULLY OF ALL - djtRUMP NEEDS TO LOSE BIGLEY!
At Electric Boat, I was the only woman in the department of 5 men. At a staff meeting, I spoke and this bully told me to shut up. I said I have as much right to speak as anyone else. He raised his fist to hit me. The other men jumped out of the way. He was over 6’ tall and weighed over 300lbs. I was under5’ and weighed 110 lbs. I said “Go ahead and hit me, it will be the last thing you do.” He backed down. Hr did nothing about this.
Texas deserves better than Paxton and I really hope that Talarico wins in November! As far as Nancy Mace goes, she's a chameleon who goes whichever way the wind is blowing. She thought tethering herself to TRump would help her. She was wrong. Her attacks on the LGBTQ community is nothing short of disgusting. Good riddance to this repulsive woman!
Whether you’re new or have been with us for years, thank you. We’re not just watching what’s happening. We’ve built something that actually pushes back. Appreciate you being part of it.
That both Nancy Mace and Ken Paxton are going down suggests that bullying seems to be considerably less vaunted in American culture. And, yes, I admit it, I am particularly savoring that Paxton is being quite publicly kneecapped by. his own attorney. Would that Todd Blanche could be similarly infected by this kind of integrity virus...:)
NEW 🚨 ACTION REQUIRED: The nation's top law enforcement officer should not be the Trump's personal criminal defense attorney. It's a massive conflict of interest. Tell your Senators to vote NO on Todd Blanche. Click and send: 👇 https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-your-senators-oppose-todd-blanche-for-attorney-general/
All I can do at this point is vote against "Leningrad Lindsay" by voting for Dr. Annie in the SC primary. (Which I DID!!)
Now we wait and hope....
Thank you, Scott. Much of any coming success is because of your tireless efforts.
Thank you! The doc is a great candidate!
When I lived in South Carolina I would call him Lady Lindsay.
Everyone in SC pretty much has a gay uncle or aunt, and/or grew up around livestock, so it's no longer as damning as it once was.
Respectfully, Lindsey needs to lose because he's a horrible human being, not because of his "ladybugs" (Google it, folks.)

As the last of my family, I intend that every cent within my control will go toward protecting democracy. (And not just when I'm dead, but almost every day.)
Thank you, David. EXCELLENT suggestion!
I agree. Your format is awesome.
Done. I added in that Todd Blanche should be disbarred.
And dis-Blanched while we're about it.
ME TOO
written!
Thanks Mary!
done, for all the good it will do...

Well, I live in Louisiana, and I know what my letters mean to my senators. But I did this anyway.
Thank you, T Swanson.
DONE

You speak for us all, Ms J.
Thank you.

Indeed!
"Intersex" is such a simple word. Why is it so hard for the GOP/MAGA to understand?!
(It's certainly shorter than "immigration", and they ALL know that one...)
I have researched intersex and as a result I totally understand it. It is so unfortunate that most people don't have a clue!
Or lie, to sell an evil, cruel agenda, and ruin innocent lives.
Linda, I am with you.

Just wonderful to see nasty Nancy get booted! Yay. May she suffer lots of boos & bullying.
cautiously optimistic about November! Afraid to get my hopes too high.
It is refreshing to see good news at the start of the day.
Thanks.

You are BRAVE! 💪
I was scared! I thought I was going to end up in the hospital or worse. But I just could not back down.
Bravery is action in spite of fear. You have it.
You go,Margaret!

You don’t fuck with a small in stature woman!

You mean WHEN Talarico wins in November, right
The truth prevails. The People are rising up. WE will transform. Bullies are short term. The People are forever. I choose The People!
In addition to the powerful leadership and grit you show us, tidbits like this are like the proverbial cherry on top:
“Apparently she didn’t know which side she was actually on.” 🤣
Paxton's own lawyer tossed him aside? Tarnation! Hahahaha! Couldn't happen to a more appropriate recipient.

Ken Paxton’s Lawyer is showing some common sense. He knows who Paxton really is and said no thank you.
