<3

Until three months ago I was a nanny. Now I'm reading french theory and discussing the meaning of collective ritualized violence. I miss them, I miss Brooklyn. I'm not sad, just wistful. Rock star Stella, my tiny man Ollie and Oscar Boscar the sweetest baby Buddah. I also really fuckin miss Tasti D.

We have to expand civil and political rights in countries that are plagued by poverty, hunger, and disease. But our pleas will fall on deaf ears unless democracy actually improves people's lives while weeding out the corruption that too often stands in the way of progress.

Our foreign policy must reflect our deep commitment to help millions of oppressed people around the world. And of particular concern to me is the plight of women and girls, who comprise the majority of the world's unhealthy, unschooled, unfed, and unpaid. If half the world's population remains vulnerable to economic, political, legal and social marginalization, our hope of advancing democracy and prosperity is in serious jeopardy. The United States must be an unequivocal and unwavering voice in support of women's rights in every country on every continent.
