We have to share our stories. Otherwise nothing will change.

Yes...our voices will crack and salty stuff comes out of our eyes...but it has to be done. We can't be silent any longer.

1. Amazing

really.

2. Good moment for the Sandman. To its credit, NBC....

... aired that exchange ( a good part of it) on its nat'l broadcast .

It clashed jarringly with a snippet of Clinton's slippery happy talk.

This was after about 10 minutes ( probably less but it seemed that long ) of the Trump vs. Cruz soap opera.

5. She has a degree

and all of her jobs have been on minimum wage. Yet the right still tells those who want to raise the wage that they should "Go to college!" which is also almost impossible to get through anymore because of student loans.

6. that really struck home.

i lived in jobs-poor part of TN for many years and had many degreed friends who worked min-wage jobs. people can't/don't leave b/c there's family obligations (ailing parents), or connection to the land -- whatever it is, it's never an answer to say that folks should have to leave their home to live. plenty of people get stuck simply b/c they have kids and can't work.

i know exactly how trapped she feels.

7. There are many, many people out there like this woman

8. I keep thinking about the homes Hillary and the other candidates go to when they sweep through

town to grab the campaign cash. The people who live in these homes are fundraisers. The other candidates never hear this kind of stuff.

Don't give me crap about Hillary's "Listening Tour!" All staged.

9. We all need to stand up a bit more

We need to stand up for each other and against the powerful and greedy.
