Come together! And "don't f*** with moms"

More good news from April Fool's Day!
Representatives from opposing parties are working together for a sane, humane cause:

allowing proxy voting for House members who become new parents.

Yesterday, these Republican and Democrat reps brought the House to a halt.

"We said don't f*** with moms," Rep.
Brittany Pettersen (D-Colo.) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla)

With Sen. Cory Booker's mega-speech in Congress calling on Americans to fight back against Mump, and Susan Crawford winning her place on Wisconsin's Supreme Court, that's THREE good things!

And . . . coming up in three days
on April 5, this Saturday:
massive "Hands Off!" protests against Mump & demonstration for democracy
[Hands Off has an interactive map you can click to find your local protest.]

"Dictators, fascists, and authoritarians of all stripes — Trump, Putin, Orban, for example — hate solidarity. They don’t want us to join together. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless and afraid. "
--Robert Reich

885+ protests across the US ^ and in cities around the world

  1. A few weeks ago I did wonder where the people were and now I know. These last couple of weeks have been marvelous.
