You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

This seems like a relevant issue for @DrexelUniv, too!
YES @MichelleObama! I hope that @girlsalliance includes efforts to get adolescent mothers back into school after they give birth, too! Important for so many reasons, esp. b/c education is a social vaccine against HIV infection #DREAMS
There are few things that inspire me like seeing the potential of adolescent girls around the world. Today, on International #DayoftheGirl, I’ll be on the @TodayShow to discuss the ways we can help adolescent girls get the education they deserve. I hope you’ll join me.

MASSIVE NEWS. BREAKING NOW @JeffFlake says: "I think it would be proper to delay the floor vote for up to but not more than one week to let the FBI do investigation."

Flake getting berated by two women in elevator symbolic of how many American women, many victims of assault, are feeling...that their pain does not matter.
It was excruciating to watch.
Don’t cry, vote!
Don’t get discouraged, vote!

Don’t quit, vote!

I have called for:
—Complete disclosure of all documents
—Subpoena Mark Judge
—Postpone the vote
Dr. Ford was credible & courageous.
What message will we send to our daughters & sons, let alone sexual assault victims?
The message I will send is this—I vote no. #RightSideofHistory
Yes! Now how about you, @SenToomey?

Dr. Ford,
Thank you for speaking truth to power. What you did today for survivors across this country, was nothing short of heroic. In awe of your courage and bravery. #BelieveSurvivors

Dr. Ford has passed a polygraph test and given the Committee the results. Judge Kavanaugh has not. She has called for outside witnesses to testify. Judge Kavanaugh has not. She called for an FBI investigation. Judge Kavanaugh has not.

It's time we act to provide better maternity coverage for all women. 4/4
