As Ukraine continues to dominate the news, it's important to note that this weekend marked the anniversary of Bloody Sunday at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. Vice President Kamala Harris led a march in support of American voting rights and civil rights, neither of which should be ignored as the people of Ukraine fight to defend their right to cleave to Western European democracy, not Russian autocracy.
(And, by the way, we want to buy her suit. Fabulous!)
The coverage of the Biden Administration's first year, we think, hasn't paid enough attention to Harris. It's no wonder, since Team Biden has been grappling with a ton of serious issues, from COVID to infrastructure to Afghanistan to January 6. But Joe promised Kamala she would be the last voice he would hear in the room when he made big decisions. We see no evidence that Biden has broken that promise.
In fact, quite the opposite — and the Trumpsters have taken note. Is that why two armed intruders tried to storm Joint Base Andrews when Harris returned there on Sunday? We cats are on high alert, since we were informed by a Democratic relative that, shall we say, non-Democratic relatives by marriage are terrified of Harris because "she's a socialist"?
No need to be naive: Kamala Harris, as the first woman, and first woman of color, in the position of Vice President, threatens a lot of people. Most of them, actually, are pointlessly circling the Beltway these days. Vice President Harris is where she is — advising the President, and casting crucial votes in the Senate as needed. Too bad, Republicans. We cats PURR.
