Unlike his immediate predecessor, Joe Biden and his administration has walked the walk when it comes to defending democracy abroad. Assuming his ask of 33 billion dollars to aid Ukraine passes Congress it will put Zelensky's government in position to punish Russian aggression and set the stage for a lasting peace.
Unfortunately, Biden is not matching his foreign defense of democracy on the domestic front. As Republican controlled state governments become ever more repressive of marginalized populations we need to see more support for the principles of democracy in our own country. We seem to be fine with defending people's rights with bullets and bombs. We need to use words to defend them in America today.
