I have had the honor to speak with and listen to many of the amazing Kuwaitis that worked so hard to get this bill approved. This bill allows for the protections and support for domestic abuse survivors at unprecedented levels. #kuwait

Excited to assign @RonanFarrow‘s book #waronpeace for my current international problems course. I can’t wait to discuss it with the students. It is a great look into how diplomacy works, its decline, and the real consequences of US policy. Not to mention it is a great read!

Traveling from Kuwait back to the states with @RonanFarrow in my ear. This is a must listen to/read. It was sad, vulnerable, & joyous. It is awesome to know I walk this earth with these brave women & tragic that they have to be. #catchandkill #couldnotstoplistening
