Nancy Mace (R-SC) has put her name on over 500 pieces of legislation since she took office and only ONE has ever become law, the naming of a post office. This bathroom bill BS gave her something to point to as a “win”.

It’s always the bad built butch body can’t keep a man women that make transwomen existing a crime. Nancy Mace had no problem sharing facilities with “biological men” when she was the 1st woman to graduate from the Citadel - relax Nance - be a hero and use that energy to leak the Matt Gaetz papers

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
