This is a frightening situation, and yet, President Biden quietly moves forward with his agenda. He reminds me of you, dear Prof. HCR, in his determination and candor. We need that steady hand at the helm.

Those fascist lies that have been blazing across US headlines for the past five years give such pause for concern, but let's not lose hope. Trump did not win, Biden did! Covid numbers are looking so much better and so many of us have been vaccinated. A long ignored genocide has, at last, been recognized. We're back on the international stage in a humanitarian role. Some things are looking up. We mustn't become complacent, and careful vigilance is de rigueur, but at least we have a competent human being as POTUS.

While the Repubs are interested in letting Rome burn, it is masterful that Biden and his admin are quietly but effectively, going about their business at hand. To call out the Armenian genocide is huge and bravo to Biden in doing so. Merrick Garland is looking into police departments for systemic killings by officers against people of color. So very badly needed! Twenty seconds was all of a video that was provided to the Brown family in Wilmington, NC. Eight police officers converged on Brown, shot and killed him while all were wearing cameras and the department allowed only 20 seconds of this atrocious act of violence to be seen. They know it is awful. They know they will be sued. They should know that Merrick Garland will be coming after them.

In the meantime, we are still waiting to hear about when Trump and Company will be brought to trial by SDNY. When and if Roger Stone and Michael Flynn will be charged again. When DeJoy will be removed and charged with tampering, from the Post Office. When Marjorie Taylor Greene and Borbert will be ousted. When The Sedition Gang will be punished and charged with inciting a deadly riot. Exhausting!
