If anyone thought that Chris Hayes was going to be offering the usual cable news drivel, they were disabused of that last night:
“All successful social movements are built – and all social progress is built out out of multitudes of tiny miracles just like the one we saw today in New York City. A single person, an accretion of people, a union of thousands or millions who decide against the odds, with no protection, to do something courageous. To speak up for their dignity. To proclaim themselves fully human. That is what the striking fast-food workers did today.”
