The blue wave had a baby 👶

Nine months have passed since Americans put Democrats in control of Congress for the first time in more than a decade. Congress quickly gave birth in September to justice in its infancy through the process of impeachment.

Now it’s important to remember the postpartum challenges.

Giving birth takes a toll. One has to regain strength, there’s lost sleep and the need for constant vigilance.

Hopefully we can all be supportive through the inevitable growing pains this new hope for the future brings. We may not be able to babysit but we can reach out, donate, canvass, educate and help infant justice to grow. And we can be patient and trust the parents with the child.

Congratulations! We couldn’t be prouder.

From personal experience I can tell you it takes strength, determination, commitment and guts to nourish a new being. And a hell of a lot of love!

Being that everyone can see how incompetent and corrupt the current crop of GOP senators and the president are, other folks may start to see the 'light' and vote accordingly. Hard of hard to defend this level of corruption and self serving.
