WHILE I BREATHE

The legislature already has the pen. It does not need the gavel too.

Democracy should not depend on party loyalty tests or strategic timing that limits participation. It should reward informed voters, independent thinking, and competitive ideas.

Well, bless it, South Carolina, the rooster crowed and out strutted Lee Bright and Rob Harris again, hollering about “protecting life” while standing on the backs of women and children like it’s a campaign float.

Between dropped calls, frozen screens, messages that show up three days late, and autocorrect turning “y’all” into something that looks like a NATO code, I have come to a very serious conclusion: we are no longer using our phones. Our phones are using us.
