An imperfect witnessing of a skilled, dedicated and powerful diplomat at her lowest moment in the lowest moment for the nation she loves and has fought for her entire adult life.

The Taliban's recent restriction of Afghan women praying loudly in front of each other is a continuation of the gender apartheid taking place in #Afghanistan. We must stand with Afghan women & hold the Taliban accountable for their crimes against humanity. apnews.com/article/afghanist…

“Madeleine Albright taught me a very important lesson years ago when she was ambassador to the United Nations, and that was that when you sit at the table, you are the United States of America," State's @DeputySecState once said 1/2
"And so it mattered less that I was a woman than that I was the United States of America.
