Diary 271

Monday, December 14th

The Electoral College has done its duty and confirmed Biden as the next president. I confess I feel relieved. No word from the previous incumbent of the White House. William Barr, the Attorney General and facilitator of many of the ‘president’s’ less sane notions, has stepped down. Finally.

Corona deaths have reached 300,000 in the US, and those are just the ones we’re sure about. The first doses of the Pfizer vaccine have been administered.

For now the specter of authoritarianism has subsided, but we have plenty of work to do to make sure our nation is one in which equality presides. For without equality we can have no justice, no peace, nor any way forwards.
