"One woman, and millions of people to back her up."

[blm]

Another great speech from Elizabeth Warren.
.......
Warren spoke of Frances Perkins, a workers-rights advocate who became the first woman to serve in a presidential candidate under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Perkins witnessed the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, and it was a pivotal moment for the course the rest of her life would take. While she was already an activist at the time, the tragedy propelled her to throw herself full-force into politics, first at the state level in New York, and then at the national level.

“What did one woman — one very persistent woman — backed up by millions of people across this country get done?” Warren asked the crowd. “Social Security. Unemployment insurance. Abolition of child labor. Minimum wage. The right to join a union. Even the very existence of the weekend. Big, structural change. One woman, and millions of people to back her up.”

It’s not hard to see the parallel between Perkins and herself Warren was trying to draw here.

2. E.W. will have an interview on Rachel's show tonight. I'm for Joe

but Rachel has a way with Democratic guests which always puts the Party in a positive light.

3. You know me, o, I'm D all the way. Nothing will change that.

I will happily work and vote for our nominee.

You know anti-corruption has been my thing since I started here.

4. I'll vote for any Dem who gets the nom. I'd work for E.W.'s

campaign without hesitation if she was the one. She's currently my second choice.
