- Joe Biden became president.
That in itself was the best thing that could possibly happen, after four years of hell. A grownup was finally in charge of the nation. We no longer needed to dread the news or avoid the front page of the paper fearing what the slobfather had done now. Joe was at the desk. He would reverse most of the bad things done by his predecessor. He would tackle Covid-19, unlike TFG. My anxiety level went way, way down. I felt I could breathe again.
- Bonus: Jill Biden
- Vaccines against Covid 19 became widely available
- The treasonous coup attempt of January 6 failed.
- Arrests, investigations and prosecutions of those involved in the failed coup have started.
- There were some period of time between Covid mutations in which we got a taste of freedom.
- The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan was adopted and signed
- The $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package was passed and signed into law.
- The president has seen 40 federal judges confirmed so far
- Biden ended a ban on openly transgender people serving in the U.S. military
- Biden ordered a moratorium on federal executions
I can't possibly list all the good things that have happened this past year. But please ADD YOUR OWN.
Think about how you felt a year ago.
Remember when we began to feel hope again, after President Biden was sworn in.
