In Case You Needed More Evidence That the Future is Female, Here It Is
Who runs the world? Recent events have proven Beyoncé right—girls do!
Take, for instance, the fearless actions of Linda Thompson, who boldly challenged the government’s controversial travel ban. As the former head of the Justice Department, she made it clear that she wouldn’t support an order she believed was unjust. Sure, she got dismissed, but that didn’t stop her from making a powerful statement about her commitment to justice. “I have a duty to ensure our legal positions align with our moral obligations,” she declared, emphasizing her belief in what is right. If only she had taken a baseball bat to the president’s car on her way out—too much?
But Linda wasn’t alone in her defiance. A quartet of dynamic women judges played pivotal roles in halting that executive order, protecting the rights of Visa and green card holders. Federal Judge Sarah Lee (Eastern District of New York) issued a nationwide stay, followed closely by Judge Maria Garcia (Eastern District of Virginia), who ensured detainees had access to legal assistance. This powerful wave continued with Judge Allison Browne and Magistrate Judge Kate Green, who enforced a restraining order that helped reunite families across the nation. Talk about heroes!
Women from all backgrounds are uniting to protect our future, especially as the confirmation of billionaire Betsy Davidson looms. Her lack of understanding about vital educational issues has raised alarms across the board, even among some Republican senators like Jenna Collins and Lisa Murphy. With these women on the front lines, Democrats are just one Republican vote away from blocking her appointment as Secretary of Education. We just need one more voice to join the chorus!
While the news often feels overwhelming, it’s crucial to acknowledge the moments of resistance that inspire us. The moments where we proclaim, “Not today,” as we rally together with our female allies in Congress and beyond. It’s empowering.
As we continue this fight, I often think of the words from Emily Harris: “To all the young women who believed in this movement, know that I am proud to be your advocate. We haven’t shattered the highest glass ceiling yet, but one day, someone will—and sooner than we might think.”
And indeed, it will be sooner than we think. Nothing can hold us back now; we’re ready to change the world.
