I never wanted this job. I'm an introvert who'd rather sit on the couch and watch Animal Planet. What changed me was watching them try to slip a DEI ban into our state budget. I stood up, spoke up, and the bill got pulled. Sam Skardon and I are still speaking up for you. #NewSC #JohnsonSkardon

I know it's old news, but how can the House vote to condemn socialism but not an active genocide? I can't wrap my head around the mental gymnastics it must take to both claim moral superiority and ignore and deny suffering while spending taxpayer dollars to fund said suffering at home and abroad.

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

South Carolina has no state minimum wage. The floor is still $7.25 an hour. Two parents working full time at that wage bring home $30,160 a year combined, before taxes. That is not enough to cover rent, groceries, and childcare. You are not the problem. The wage is. #NewSC #JohnsonSkardon
