Georgia!


It appears that Democrats Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff will join the Senate from Georgia, historic wins on both counts, a Southern state sending a Black man and a Jew to the upper legislative chamber, also a first for Georgia. Now Biden can actually govern, without the spiteful obstructionism of Mitch McConnell and his cronies. What a delicious irony that Georgia will give Democrats control of the Senate and make possible passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. The late great Congressman from Georgia must be smiling down at this turn of events. Of course McConnell and his judges will surely press cases all the way to the Supreme Court in continuing Republican attempts to surgically disenfranchise certain voters. But at least we will have more arrows in our quiver to combat that. Besides, Ruth Bader Ginsberg is an ancestor now, too. Don't f*ck with the ancestors. Also, let's just make Stacey Abrams the Queen of Everything.
