She/her. #scpol strategy is my thing; trying to make it everyone else’s 🥴. Unapologetically opinionated and outspoken. Recovering people pleaser, former candidate, forever educator.
Say what you want about the others but at least they knew how to talk to reporters in order to be the [checks notes] press secretary.

Rolling Stone@rollingstone.com · 6d agoRobyn talks to Zara Larsson about how “Dancing on My Own” came to be: “I’m like, there’s ‘Dancing by Myself,’ there’s ‘Dancing in the Dark,’ ‘Dancing With Tears in My Eyes.’ There’s no ‘Dancing on My Own.’” Read their Musicians on Musicians convo: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Guys, “she is in favor of Transgender for Everyone,” is objectively hilarious. It doesn’t even make any sense. Y’all can be mad over the slur, sure, but also, laugh a little. Signed, a woman who has spent 6+ years fighting for trans rights in South Carolina
ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) - Cornell says ex-deputy attorney general Sally Yates will lead review of university's handling of sex assault claims.
As someone who personally knows @drannieandrews.com , I have to admit that I laughed out loud, hard, reading this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "Annie 'Trannie' Andrews is running against our wonderful Darline Graham for the Senate in South Carolina ... Trannie is not for South Carolina, and South Carolina must show, in the upcoming Election, that it is not for her."
We basically don't have any broadly-respected polls of the South Carolina Senate race, but the polls we do have (with one exception) suggest a race that could be…weirdly close for South Carolina? South Carolina last elected a Democratic senator in 1998. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Last night was my 5th time speaking at JCLCC. It is truly one of my favorite advocacy opportunities each year. Not only do you get to speak with lawmakers & agency leaders about issues personally impacting your kids, you get to hear about tons of community resources you may have otherwise missed.

Respectfully, the fact that I can get spam calls at 9pm should be illegal. As if getting a half dozen during the work day and on weekends isn’t bad enough.
Thinking about that Senate staffer who was absolutely fired on the spot after today’s hearing snafu. Someone has never packed their bags faster, I’m sure.
For those keeping score at home, the United States is now without an Army Secretary, Army Deputy Secretary, and Senate-confirmed Army Chief of Staff -- all in the midst of an ongoing War with Iran that everyone in D.C. has quietly conceded Trump already lost.
The field is set and I’m ready to bring this election home.
More people voting in the SC Primary runoff than voted in the SC Primary for US Sen (R).

Robert (Bob) Kubinec@rmkubinec.bsky.social · 2mo agoI don't think the Dems have much chance of winning this seat, but in any case, it's interesting to think about which candidate would be easier to beat -- nepo moderate Graham or far right MAGA Norman

Dollyland employees, both part time and full time, receive 100% of tuition covered. Healthcare, medical, vision, retirement benefits, childcare. A saint that walked among us. Every other wealthy person should be ashamed of themselves if they don't live up to Dolly standards.
Thomas Lecaque@tlecaque.bsky.social · 2mo agoI started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.
