SWEAT

Just came back from seeing Lynn Nottage's SWEAT at the public theater, and I am still trembling. This is the story of race in America, but it is also the story of class and how someone like Donald Trump could get elected. The closing of factories, the world of hopefulness is all but eliminated. And I get that D.T. offered hope, though-in truth-he will offer so much less for this population, and all their safety nets will be removed. It is such a sorry state of affairs.
