Queen.

One of the first acts of the new Congress should be to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, to thank Black people for saving America.

And yes, they should get those $2,000 checks done, too. But right now, we're overcome with the thought that a country that was on the verge of turning into an autocracy has been rescued by folks who, for centuries, it has treated like dirt. Thanks to them, it looks like Team Biden will be able to get their Cabinet nominations confirmed without delay and go straight to work — on the pandemic, the economy, racial injustice, climate change, infrastructure, and all the other things that desperately need to get done. (And maybe we can undo a few of those right-wing judgeships, too. We'll see.)

At the same time, though, it's also enraging to see what's happening outside the Capitol building right now: MAGAts breaching the barriers and fighting with Capitol Police. House office buildings being evacuated. Yes, they're making fools of themselves — and inside, the seditious sh*tshow, because of Georgia, is leaking a lot of air from its balloon. But you just know that if that crowd of angry rioting Trumpsters were Black, they'd be riddled with tear gas and bullets.

That disturbing fact is probably not something the Biden Administration can fix in four years. But good heavens, America, we need to start somewhere. Maybe Stacey Abrams can show us the way. We cats PURR.
