One of these women is a hero of the modern South giving voice to average American voters and their concerns, the other just refused to sign the @usgsa document that releases $9mil in funding for Presidential transition planning and organizing. No reason given, she just refused. Both women are "firsts". Both women are demonstrators of resistance. One to amplify voices too often stifled, ignored or minimized, the other to obstruct (big D) Democratic progress. Both will be recorded in history, one for being on the wrong side of the people. One of these women represents the highest constituency of Democratic voters, the other 55% of white women who knowing all they knew about his misogyny, racism, sexism and toxic aggression voted for him to get four more years. It isn't a far jump to believe their views on racial or gender equality mirror the presidential candidate they supported. "We are not mind readers" is a convenient but naive way of avoiding calling out racism and allowing its subtle toxicity to continue poisoning American culture. When racism isn't called out and exposed in the light, it grows into part of the ecosystem. If one of these women were white she would be decorated with honor for registering over 900,000 new voters and impacting the results of a traditionally Republican state. If one of these women were Black, today would've been her last day at work. She would've been fired for insubordination. Thanks you @staceyabrams! Your must-do thinking has changed the world.
