IT’S HAPPENING: The Fury Crashing Down on Hillary Is the Glass Ceiling Starting to Shatter
America has never heard this crashing noise before. It’s the sound of the gender barrier breaking, of the highest glass ceiling shattering, of institutional gender bias resisting conquest — and losing.
November 8th will be the culminating moment, but the process is happening now: With each passing day, Hillary is powering forward in the face of a furious assault on her lifesaving foundation, her private email communications, her health, her family, her integrity. She is wrestling the monumental forces of misogyny and gaining the upper hand.
America has never been here before. We’ve never heard these thunderous noises. We’ve never navigated this terrain.
And we’ve never witnessed a candidate endure such a vicious double standard, such unrestrained attacks by the establishment media.
This is the process of smashing the ultimate gender barrier, this intense grind forward, this fury raining down on Hillary, this uncontrolled maligning of a powerful, dignified woman.
The conquest of institutional bias doesn’t happen in one day. Election Day is the climactic moment, but now is the time the glass is beginning to shatter and the shards are crashing down.
Hillary’s supporters shouldn’t lose heart — if anything, they should realize that the more ferocious the attacks, the louder the cacophony of lies, hate and smears, the more cracks are appearing in the glass ceiling.
Melissa McEwan describes what we’re seeing as the “desperate attempt to put band-aids on those cracks in the vain hope of keeping the ceiling intact.”
That desperation, that intensity will increase even further, as 227 years of history boils down to six weeks.
She’s ready. We’re ready.

That describes how I also reacted when reading the article by Melissa McEwan.
Apocalyptic, and we are witness to it in our lifetime.
I think of all those who have fought, suffered and gone before.
In a sincere tribute to our fore-mothers, I say thank you all, and may a grand gathering of all your spirits be with us to celebrate on Nov 8th, and on the day destiny holds Hillary Clinton's hand as she recites the Oath of Office as Madam President of the United States of America.
It is so fitting ..
The story behind the pic is remarkable . And true.
We are 2 months away from Hillary taking her place on that I-beam and one day passing the torch to another.
And that is as progressive as it gets.
Thank You. 
Maybe when she is standing there taking the Oath of Office. That's when a collective sigh of relief, pride of accomplishment and finally, finally we will all allow ourselves to shed a tear for those who came before us.
