First peonies blooming happily this season. Far more bushes full than I can share. And the first peonies picked and put in a vase that was Scott's mom's which he brought home yesterday sitting on top of a crocheted doily that my Italian great grandmother, Nonnie, made generations ago. ❤️

One of the reasons this matters. But just one.
NEW: Since the enactment of the VRA, the number of Black U.S. representatives rose from less than 10 to more than 60.
Those elected from the South — where roughly half of America’s Black citizens reside — went from zero to nearly 30.
Now, those seats are at risk. https://bit.ly/4dh6y9g

I said the same thing and people fought me over it. But when a thing is a thing you say it.
Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad.
Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.
