On past progressive initiatives..

Unlike the previous implementations of this theory, though, Biden's version, embodied in the American Rescue Plan, does not privilege white men (who in Lincoln and Roosevelt's day were presumed to be family breadwinners). It moves money to low-wage earners generally, especially to women and to people of color. Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) called the child tax credit "a new lifeline to the middle class." "Franklin Roosevelt lifted seniors out of poverty, 90 percent of them with Social Security, and with the stroke of a pen," she said. "President Biden is going to lift millions and millions of children out of poverty in this country."

This is such a good thing.

A big relief! There never should've been any doubt of which way this would go...the whole thing was on tape! Glad the first domino has fallen, now hopefully justice continues to be carried out in all these other instances as well.

The other thread of thought that really gets me: Chauvin was ready and willing to plead guilty to 3rd degree murder after the incident but Barr stepped in and told the prosecutors to not accept that deal (and I don't know the exact timing/details of everything but I think Barr took extraordinary steps) and there is no doubt in my mind it was done to fuel unrest in a way that the Trump administration could use to their advantage.
