I’m in Chicago for 40 days-my lovely husband sends me photos of my garden so I don’t miss spring-

Countries that have issued a travel advisory this year warning their citizens about visiting the United States:

The US spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. Yet 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured and 68,000 die each year because they can’t afford a doctor.

Health care must be a human right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

Yep.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:

“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

He says lots of crazy stuff but as best I can tell he didn’t say this.

Spent the morning learning new stitches.

I started buying hellebores about 20 years ago- every time I move, I pull them up and replant. These are today’s bouquet -the first one is especially beautiful!

One thing I love is time at the end of the day is a bit of needlepoint and HGTV. #flipoff

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich.

How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

So these two will be parents the end of March❤️

I think this is just the Easter Story

Nice to meet you too- I’m a 30+ year elder in CalPac who now coaches pastors and runs social media for half dozen churches - have a great week!

How do I not already know you? Sounds fabulous!

So very sick.

SO HUGE gardening win!!! I have these wine barrel planters from Home Depot, but every year, the critters dig up my flowers before they can bloom. This year, I figured out what to do! I bought clear umbrellas to cover them at night and create a little greenhouse! #californiagarden #flowers

So I am figuring out new platforms and so far I’m loving Substack. I’ll be there weekly with my podcast and an article or two each week- What would you want to see me tackle? This week it is about how easy it is to fall into being a victim-
