In the latest episode for my series with @time, I interviewed Kelsey - who is a 26-year-old nurse at a hospital in New York City. Kelsey spoke to me about the pressure and trauma she's facing working on a 100% positive COVID unit. PS: I actually met Kelsey through her mom, Pam who is a Wake-Up Call subscriber and wrote to me about the work her daughter was doing and how proud of Kelsey she was. ❤️

Beautiful.❤️Yanira Soriano met her baby boy for the first time after battling #covid19. Yanira had COVID-19 pneumonia earlier this month and had to be put in a medically induced coma as well as on a ventilator. She was on the ventilator for 11 days before her baby boy was delivered via c-section. Her baby was released in good health and tested negative for COVID-19.

I love this! Captain Tom Moore aimed to raise £1,000 by completing 100 laps of his 82-foot Bedfordshire garden by Thursday, his 100th birthday. He’s raised over 7 million pounds (equivalent of over $9 million dollars) for NHS, the National Health Service in the UK. He plans to do another 100 laps. "When you think of who it is all for - all those brave and super doctors and nurses we have got - I think they deserve every penny, and I hope we get some more for them too." said the Army veteran. Love you Captain Tom!😊❤️ And thanks to my friend @henriettaconrad for telling me about this story! 😘 Story via @goodnews_movement 📹: @telegraph

#FacesOfCovid: John "Jack" Ahrens died on Good Friday in his bed in Newton, Massachusetts just a few days after testing positive for Covid-19. Jack was a vibrant and curious 96-year-old (nearly 97!) who had an appreciation and respect for life that only strengthened with age. A self-proclaimed pacifist, he spent over two years in the Navy enduring some of World War II's most notorious battles (including D-DAY). He returned home deeply committed to creating and supporting peace on a local and global scale. Jack was open-mind beyond his years. He possessed an incredible level of patience and presence that made for an avid gardener, loyal friend, and deeply adored father. Jack rarely went a few hours without laughter and was always available for play, guidance or deep conversation! He was affectionately known to his 8 grand-children as "Bop Bop" and was so invested in his family that he would stay on for 3 more years after the passing of his beloved bride, Lois, to whom he was married for a blissful 67 years. He even started taking piano lessons for the first time, at age 94. During the final days of Jack's life, he was tended to by some of the most courageous, selfless and loving caregivers. They risked their health and safety simply to ensure that Jack was comfortable and that all of his beloved family could express their thanks and love on FaceTime. Particularly a man named Jason Last, who treated Jack as his own grandfather, coming in on his days off,  holding his hands and crying along with Jack's family... all of whom were aching because they could not be at his side.  Jason and Jack met four days before his death. They made heaven a place on earth during a dark time. Rest In Peace, Jack. You were deeply loved and you mattered. ❤️

My good friend Dr. Mark Pochapin, the Vice-Chair for Clinical Affairs at NYU Langone, (and Jay’s doctor when he was sick) is one of the many healthcare professionals around the country who is on the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak. Until recently, Mark was responsible for gathering physicians from different areas of expertise to help and care for patients that have COVID-19, a disease that he says "we're learning about in real-time." New York City has the most confirmed cases in the country, with 106,763 positive tests and 7,349 deaths as of April 13, according to a tracker maintained by researchers at Johns Hopkins University. Despite the numbers, Dr. Pochapin, who is one of the most compassionate people I’ve ever meant, has been amazed by how people in the medical field have come together."We are literally all in this together and I am so grateful for everybody." @time @nyulangone #time #interviews #doctors #covid19 #fronlineworkers #healthcareworkers

This is so so moving. Antonio Basco lost his wife, Margie Reckard in the #elpaso shooting. Margie was Antonio’s only family. Left without her, Antonio remains uncertain of his near future but has found support from his community. With no other family, he called for the community to join him in saying goodbye. They answered. During a prayer service for Reckard at La Paz Faith Center in Central El Paso, Basco was engulfed in love and support. The packed church holds about 500 and there was about triple that number outside. Flowers for Reckard came from all over the world. He entered the center to applause as he made his way around the pews. Hugged by many, he smiled. Bishop Harrison Johnson of the  Praise Temple Full Gospel Baptist Church said, look at all the friends you have, which El Pasoans clapped and cheered, some shouting, "we care”. Thinking of Antonio today and feeling so grateful for the love and humanity that still exists in the world. ♥️♥️ 📸 via @usatoday

I thought this was so cool! Meet the real life inspiration behind Ariel from The Little Mermaid! 🧜🏻‍♀️🐠 #Repost @historycoolkids Sherri Stoner served as the animation model for Ariel in The Little Mermaid (1989) as well as Belle in Beauty and the Beast (1991).⁣ ⁣ Ariel's lower lip biting and Belle's habit of brushing hair away from her face were both Stoner's mannerisms that animators later incorporated in to the characters.⁣ ⁣ Broadway actor, Joshua Finkel served as the animation model for Eric and performed several key scenes with Stoner in order to help the animators realistically portray the interactions between the two characters.⁣ ⁣ Ariel's personality and body type were based on that of Alyssa Milano, who was starring in a TV show called "Who's the Boss?" at that time. Ariel's underwater hair was based on a combination of footage from Stoner's scene in the pool and footage of Sally Ride's hair when she was in space.⁣ ⁣ Stoner later went on to become one of the writers for Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and the voice of Slappy Squirrel, the elderly and grumpy tree squirrel.

During these challenging times it was so wonderful to take part in something joyful and full of promise. Last weekend, my close friends Pat, Laurie, Charlie and I threw a pretty swell engagement party for Ellie and Mark. We had a delicious buffet, some specialty drinks (Carrie and I made the signs!) and an ice cream truck! So happy for the bride and groom and our families! We are so very lucky. Let the celebrations begin! ❤️❤️❤️

This week in Mississippi, ICE arrested nearly 700 undocumented immigrants in the largest mass raid of ICE in American history. They raided chicken and poultry plants where men and women were working. It also happened to be the first day of school, and many of the people arrested were parents. Their children got out of school and had nowhere to go and no one to pick them up. “Our brothers and sisters, our fellow citizens - 6 years old, 5 years old, 7 years old, 11 years old - they left to go to school yesterday, excited about education, and terror hit them while they were gone,” said the Rev. James Evans, a cofounder of the Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance. This is horrifying and we cannot look away. We must acknowledge that this system is broken and needs fixing. This is 11 year old Magdalena Gomez Gregorio. Listen to what she is saying. We cannot ignore this. Some resources and ways to help: 📍Call Congress, your mayor, and local representatives - tell them you want upcoming ICE raids to be called off and detention conditions improved. Raices has provided a template and an online form that you can email to your congressional representatives. 📍The National Immigration Law Center has suggested reporting raids to local hotlines like United We Dream’s MigraWatch. 📍Donate to humanitarian efforts - United We Dream - American Civil Liberties Union - Mijente - American Immigration Council - Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project - Diocesean Migrant & Refugee Services - Families Belong Together - ProBAR - The Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights - Americans for Immigrant Justice - Immigrant Justice corps - KIND (Kids In Need of Defense) which provides legal representation to migrant children and lobbies to ensure their rights are protected - New Sanctuary Coalition - Las Americas in El Paso - Raices - Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund - Pueblo Sin Fronteras: this group provides humanitarian aid & shelter to migrants on their way to the US - The Florence Project: Ari

I was so honored to be the first Edward Kovach speaker on the healing power of communication and to be interviewed by John Marshall of @georgetownlombardi Cancer Center. We talked about the importance of “cura personalis” or curing the whole person.

Four years ago, I executive produced this important documentary on the history of gun violence in this country. It was incredibly eye-opening for me, and while I did not agree with all the editing decisions, the information here is so important. I hope you'll not only watch the trailer but take time to watch the whole documentary, which you can stream on iTunes, Epix, and Amazon Prime. #underthegun #documentary

Just 13 hours after the Walmart massacre in El Paso, Texas, another gunman opened fire outside of Ned Peppers, a bar in a popular area of Dayton known for its night life, popular with college students and heavily policed - killing 8 people and injuring countless others. The gunman was killed by police as he tried to run into the bar. At a vigil following the shooting, Republican Governor Mike Dewine was addressing the crowd when shouts of “Do something!” erupted. People continued to shout “We are tired of vigils!” and “What do we want? Gun control! When do we want it? Now!” We need to #DoSomething and can do something by texting CHECKS to 64433 to demand a vote on universal background checks. 📹: @washingtonpost #guncontrol #guncontrolnow #dayton #ohio #thisisnotnormal #takeaction #washingtonpost #news #protest #dosomething

On Saturday morning, a gunman walked into a Walmart in El Paso, Texas where people were shopping for groceries and back to school supplies. He killed 20 people, and wounded 27 others. A “hate-filled, 2,300 word anti-immigrant manifesto” was posted just minutes before the shooting on 8chan - an online platform which has become a go to resource for violent extremists (and in the past 24 hours has been shut down by its creator.) At least three mass shootings this year - including the mosque killings in New Zealand and the synagogue shooting in California have been announced in advance on 8chan - which has become known as a forum for racist, white supremicist rhetoric.  Democratic candidate and El Paso resident Beto O’Rourke said “I’m saying that President Trump has a lot to do with what happened in El Paso yesterday…he sows the kind of fear, the kind of reaction that we saw in El Paso yesterday.” News is still developing on who the victims of this attack were - but here is what we know so far: ▪️Jordan Anchondo & Andre Anchondo▪️ 25 year old Jordan was a mother of three. She was killed while trying to shield her 2 month old son. Andre was 23 years old and was Jordan’s husband and the father of their 2 month old son. He had recently started a business in El Paso that built things from granite and stone after turning his life around from drug dependence and run-ins with police.💔 #elpaso #endgunviolence #rip

How much is too much?  Have these mass murders (and daily violence) become normalized by their horrifying frequency? Vote for people who support sensible gun laws. They work. No they don’t completely solve the problem. But stricter gun laws result in fewer gun deaths. Take action NOW. Text MITCH to 90975 to call your Senators and demand an emergency special session to #endgunviolence. 💔 @giffordscourage @momsdemand @everytown #thisisnotnormal #elpaso #ohio #enoughisenough

I was so sad to hear about the passing of Hal Prince, who died yesterday. He was 91. West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, and Phantom of the Opera all soared with his magic touch. I interviewed Hal on the @todayshow in 1994 right before Show Boat opened! His vision, imagination and passion will be missed. #RIP and thank you Mr. Prince. #tbt #throwback #thursday #haroldprince #todayshow #interview

Love this! ♥️ Artists installed seesaws designed by two California professors, Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello at the border wall so that kids in the US & Mexico could play together. Rael says it was “one of the most incredible experiences of my and [Virginia’s] career bringing to life the conceptual drawings of the Teetertotter Wall from 2009 in an event filled with joy, excitement, and togetherness at the borderwall.” @rrael @vasfsf #repost from @hifructosemag #us #mexico #border #unity #immigration #art #love #news #borderwall #letkidsbekids

This is Stephen Luciano Romero. He was 6 years old. Last night, he was shot and killed when a gunman opened fire during the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival in Northern California. At least two others were killed, and 15 people were wounded. The festival remains an active crime scene, and a manhunt remains underway for a potential second suspect. This is the 246th mass shooting in the US THIS YEAR. I am sickened by this, we all should be. This is unacceptable. Don’t be sad. Get angry. Elect officials at the local, state and national level who care about common sense gun reform and are brave enough to do something about it. 💔 #gilroygarlicfestival #gilroyshooting #news #rip

Billy Porter is almost as well known for his stellar red carpet fashion choices as he is for his starring role as Pray Tell in @poseonfx - the smash hit show about NYC’s underground ballroom culture in the 1980s. We recently met up at @csiriano’s The Curated NYC boutique for a candid interview. He told me how his remarkable voice helped him gain his family’s acceptance as a child. “So it became: ‘Just sing as loud as you can and as high as you can and for as long as you can until you could get out,’” he told me. “And I did.” @theebillyporter #billyporter #pose #interview #inmyorbit

By the way, I’m 62 and I’m good with it. I don’t need a Russian app to show me what I will look like. I’m proud of my age, what I’ve done, what I’ve learned and how I continue to live my life. We are lucky to age. Every.single.day. It’s a cause for celebration not shame. It’s about time we understand another ism that can lead to prejudice, discrimination and marginalization.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the plane crash that claimed the lives of John F. Kennedy Jr., Carolyn Bessette and her sister, Lauren Bessette. A couple of months before his death, I sat down with John F. Kennedy Jr. on the @todayshow for what would turn out to be his last TV interview. I remember being so excited to interview him because like so many others, I had a giant crush on him! On the day of our interview, he rode his bike to the studio at 30 Rock, which was pretty typical for him. Speaking with John on camera, he was kind, self-effacing, and surprisingly open. He spoke freely about a lot of very personal things, from his relationship with his mother, to whether he thought his father would be proud of his career. I’ll never forget when, two month later, on a Saturday in July 1999, my late sister Emily called me to say that John had died in a plane crash. Three lives ended that night; so heartbreaking for their families. But for the country, the hope and promise of Camelot seemed to be extinguished for good. #jfk #johnfkennedyjr

#Repost @nytimes: President Trump, under fire for comments that even some Republicans called racist, amplified his attacks on 4 Democratic congresswomen of color on Monday. “They’re free to leave if they want. If they want to leave, that’s fine. If they want to stay, that’s fine,” @realdonaldtrump said, referring to Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. This comes a day after he said they should “go back” to the countries they came from, though all but Omar were born in the U.S. At a news conference on Monday on Capitol Hill, @ilhanmn, @ocasio2018, @rashidatlaib and @ayannapressley responded to Trump’s comments. “No matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. And it belongs to everyone,” said Ocasio-Cortez. What did you think of their remarks? I want to hear from you all👇🏼 #news #aoc #presidenttrump #pressconference #congress #dc #politics

Like many young Americans, Maluca grew up with parents who had a very specific idea of what the "American Dream" looked like for her; get an education, get a job, get married, have kids. But that's not the timeline Maluca has drawn for herself. Watch @skii's #ChangeDestiny film, "Timelines" to see how Maluca defines her own destiny and figures out with her mother Liz what’s most important: a plan or a dream? Can you relate? #timelines #skiipartnership

Texas billionaire Ross Perot has died at the age of 89. I interviewed him in 1992 when he was running for President. To say he was a colorful and unconventional candidate is an understatement. The interview was one of the most contentious of my career and was interrupted with a call from “Baba Booey” from Howard Stern’s show asking him an obscene question on live television. Ross Perot was truly an American original. What do you all remember about Ross Perot?

I read a story this week that has really stuck with me and I wanted to share with you all. Last week, Brooklyn Lindsey, 32 became the 11th known black trans woman to be killed by violence in the US in 2019. Lindsey was found early Tuesday morning on the front porch of a vacant home in Kansas City, Missouri. There were one of more gunshot wounds on her body and unspecified trauma to her face. It is being treated as a homicide. There is no suspect information and no arrests have been made in the case. Her friend Raven Johnson told @buzzfeednews that Brooklyn was well known in the local LGBTQ community and dreamed of giving back by helping other people transition. “She was outgoing, happy go lucky. She always liked helping people, doing what she can. She would do anything for anybody.” The @humanrightscampaign has identified 10 other black trans women who have been killed so far this year. The average life expectancy of a black trans woman in the US is thought to be 35 years old. Most of the victims this year were still in their 20s. Their names are listed below. If you know ways or organizations that can help, let me know in the comments below. •Dana Martin, 31, Montgomery, Alabama •Jazzaline Ware, Memphis •Ashanti Carmon, 27, Prince George’s County, Maryland •Claire Legato, 21, Cleveland •Muhlaysia Booker, 23, Dallas •Michelle “Tamika” Washington, 40, Philadephia •Paris Cameron, 20, Detroit •Chynal Lindsey, 26, Dallas •Chanel Scurlock, 23, Lumberton, North Carolina •Zoe Spears, 23, Fairmount Heights, Maryland #translivesmatter #lgbtq #remembertheirnames

“Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk along the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.” -The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot. This poem makes me sad but I think of it every time I eat a peach. 🍑 ❤️ No more boring pics of me but this was seriously one of the most delicious peaches I’ve had in a long time. I really don’t care for canned peaches. Meanwhile I’m sure @johnmolner would have preferred me to caption this with, “I really love your peaches want to shake your tree.” -Steve Miller

Good morning everyone, happy #saturday!! I wanted to share with you my #weekendwhats, which is something I do before every weekend in Wake-Up Call☀️ where I share what to read, what to listen to, what to cook, what to watch, and what to follow! 😊 📚What to Read: My friend Taffy Brodesser-Akner, who has written some wryly observant and slightly subversive profiles on celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Bradley Cooper for the @nytimes, is out with her first novel, Fleishman Is In Trouble. The Washington Post calls it a “brilliant comic novel” with the “currency of a dating app and the wisdom of a Greek tragedy.” I’m super-excited to read it. 🎧What to Listen to: Man in the Window. Warning! You might want to make sure to listen to this in the daytime! Julia Lewis from our KCM team highly recommends this suspenseful series about the Golden State Killer, one of California’s most deadly serial killers, as told through the eyes of his victims... 📺What to Watch: The new documentary Maiden tells the story of Tracy Edwards who skippered the first-ever all female crew to compete in the Whitbread Round the World sailing race in 1989 when she was just 24. 🍳What to Cook: It’s that time of year for all my fellow gardeners out there — save this delicious Zucchini Pizza Bake Casserole recipe for when you have zucchinis coming out of your ears! 📱What to Follow: I love following @sophiabush’s instagram for glimpses of her fun, fast-paced life as well as her thoughtful commitment to political causes and activism!

Women running for office face obstacles that men don’t. People are more likely to question their qualifications, criticize their looks, and even dislike them.

🚨The Customs and Border Protection agency’s acting commissioner, John Sanders, will step down early next month as the government’s primary border enforcement executive -which comes shortly after upsetting reports that revealed hundreds of minor detainees were held for weeks without access to showers, clean clothing, or sufficient food inside of a Border Control station in Clint, Texas. Today, it was disclosed that more than 100 children had been returned to that same station in Clint, Texas - even though no additional resources had been provided to the children who were sent back. During a court ordered visit to the facility earlier this month, lawyers from some of the nation’s top law schools and a board-certified physician said children told them that they had not been allowed to shower in nearly a month, and were so hungry that it had been hard for them to sleep through the night. “The conditions within which they are held could be compared to torture facilities,” said physician Dolly Lucio Sevier. The unaccompanied minors at the facility are subjected to “extreme cold temperatures, lights on 24 hours a day, no adequate access to medical care, basic sanitation, water, or adequate food.” These accounts prompted public backlash which led to almost 300 children who were housed at the Clint facility to be transferred elsewhere. Around 249 children were placed in a shelter network for children run by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement, while others were moved to a tent facility in El Paso run by Customs and Border Protection. Volunteers from around the country have mobilized, hoping to deliver supplies like diapers, soap, and food to the facility, but have not been allowed in and their donations were not accepted. I will post later ways you can help the children at the border, and if you know of any causes or organizations that can help, please write in the comments below.👇🏼This is not who we are. We can and must do better.💔#

Bozoma Saint John was 12-years-old and having a tough time fitting in with her new classmates after moving from Ghana to Colorado when she first realized the power of pop culture: “I needed something to talk to them about. And it doesn’t matter your age, your race, your religion...the things that connect us about pop culture erase all of those differences.” Understanding that connection has helped her shape some of the world’s biggest brands from Pepsi to Apple and led to her current role as Endeavor's Chief Marketing Officer. I sat down with her for a conversation, and she shared with me how her work helped save her after the darkest period of her personal life. #monday #mondaymotivation #badasswomen #wcw

These people know how to party and I’m exhausted. (Don’t worry Molner, I’m getting a lot of work done! 😘) This afternoon a panel with @johnlegend and @proctergamble ’s Marc Pritchard, two of my favorite people, to talk about using creativity and humanity to address important social issues. #cannes #canneslions @cannes_lions #itsatoughjobbutsomeonesgottodoit #rosemondaytuesdaywednesdaythursday

Gloria Vanderbilt was an icon. She died yesterday at the age of 95 from advanced stomach cancer. She was a glamorous socialite, fashion designer, artist and mother. Her death was confirmed by her son, @cnn journalist @andersoncooper, who said in a beautiful tribute: “Joseph Conrad wrote that ‘We live as we die, alone.’ He was wrong in my mom’s case. Gloria Vanderbilt died as she lived: on her own terms. She was surrounded by beauty, and by family, and by friends. The last few weeks, every time I kissed her goodbye, I’d say, ‘I love you mom.’ She would look at me and say, ‘I love you too. You know that.’ And she was right. I did know that. I knew it from the moment I was born, and I’ll know it for the rest of my life. And, in the end, what greater gift can a mother give to her son? Gloria Vanderbilt was 95 years old when she died. What an extraordinary life. What an extraordinary mom. What an incredible woman.” ♥️ #gloriavanderbilt

Issa Rae was anything but insecure when she accepted the Emerging Entrepreneur Award at the Women in Film gala with a hilariously irreverent speech that ended with “I deserve this. Bye.” Jokes aside, Rae has come a long way from her days as a Stanford student making her first web series, Dorm Diaries, to landing a deal with HBO for her hit comedy series, Insecure. I interviewed her early in her career and caught up with her again recently to learn why this particular moment in time for her “feels so powerful and different.” #monday #mondaymotivation #issarae #interview

My Dad (John Martin Couric Jr. born August 28, 1920) in photos through the years. I was blessed to have a wonderful father who was kind, compassionate, whip smart (he could discuss almost anything with intelligence and insight) witty, fair minded and patient. He also had high expectations for his four children who grew up to be successful and most importantly nice people. (Well, most of the time!😊) Although he lived until 91, I miss him so much and wish he were still here to give his sage advice and demonstrate his unflinching perspicacity. (We liked that word!) I have so many questions I wish I had asked him. For all the fathers out there, thank you for shaping us into the humans we become. And for those missing their fathers like me (and whose fathers never got to see them grow up, like two amazing girls I know)sending you love on what can be a sad day. ❤️

It’s time to announce our second #somethinggood winner from our @lifeisgoodco contest!😊 Connie Charney used to always bring a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with her when she commutes to the city and would give it to someone in need. She decided to start @foodforthoughtscards cards - for every bread shaped card she sells, she donates the cash equivalent of a PB&J sandwich to an organization that feeds the hungry. So far, she’s donated over 42,000 of them! Thanks for sharing your story, Connie, and you can support her mission by visiting her website: http://www.foodforthoughtscards.com ♥️ I will highlight our other @lifeisgoodco winners on my stories!

The situation that is currently unfolding in #sudan is something that everyone should be aware of and talking about. Last Monday, paramilitaries began a violent backlash in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, shooting pro-democracy protestors, burning tents and sexually assaulting women. Doctors counted 118 deaths over several days, while the government reported only 61 deaths. As a reminder: ▪️In April 2019, former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, whose reign had lasted 30 years, was deposed in a military coup following civilian uprisings against his government (you may remember that viral video of a Sudanese woman standing on a car leading a protest against al-Bashir.) ▪️After al-Bashir’s downfall, protestors hoped for a swift transition to civilian rule, which was resisted by military generals. ▪️Last Monday, the Rapid Support Forces (a notorious paramilitary group in Sudan) led a crackdown and caused the government to cut internet access, leading to a media blackout. The RSF has an iron grip on the capital and the pro-democracy protestors, most of them young Sudanese and led by doctors and other professionals, have been forced to go underground due to the violence and the lack of accessibility caused by the media blackout. Please keep the people of Sudan in your prayers, and help spread the word of what is happening there.🇸🇩💔 #sudan

@inagarten was 30 years old and working in the White House when she bravely decided to “jump in the pond” and follow her true passion for food and cooking. With no experience, she opened Barefoot Contessa, a specialty food store, and now, a few decades later, she’s become a culinary icon with television shows and countless cookbooks under her apron. I caught up with her at her East Hampton kitchen recently and got to be her sous chef as she made what could be her “favorite recipe ever.” #MondayMotivation #barefootcontessa #inagarten

We wear orange today because orange was Hadiya Pendleton’s favorite color. Hadiya was 15 years old when she was shot and killed in #Chicago just one week after performing at President Obama’s second inaugural parade in 2013. Orange has become the defining color of the gun violence prevention movement, and we wear it today to honor the more than 100 lives cut short and the hundreds more wounded by gun violence every.single.day. Let’s work together to reduce gun violence and prevent too many senseless deaths. It’s enough. It’s time. 🧡#wearorangeday #stopgunviolence #gunviolenceawareness

I love this!💓#repost from @womenshistory: As we celebrate the heroes who landed at Normandy on #DDay, we also celebrate Nancy Harkness Love, Jacqueline Cochran, and the 1,074 women in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program who served their country bravely during World War II. From 1942 to 1944, they ferried over 12,000 military planes, completed countless domestic missions, and flew over one million miles in service of the war. The WASPs served their fellow American women for decades after WWII by creating a legacy of female empowerment and achievement. As the first women to fly for the US military, they blazed the trail for women to serve equally in the US Air Force. The women of the WASPs, the “Avenger Girls,” are true superheroes in aviation history. #womenshistory #girlpower Photo Credit: @usairforce

Today is the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in Normandy, which was the starting point for the liberation of Nazi occupied Europe during World War II. Allied troops from the US, UK, France and Canada landed on the Normandy coastline and attacked the German troops stationed there. 7,000 shops and landing crafts were involved, and 156,000 men were dropped off along the beaches of Normandy - as many as 4,400 troops died from the combined allied forces and some 9,000 were wounded or missing. President Trump addressed veterans today in Normandy at the grave site of more than 9,380 American service members who were killed in the World War II landings. “To the men that sit behind me and to the boys that rest in the field before me, your example will never grow old. Your legend will never die.” May we remember the sacrifices of all those who risked their lives for the freedom of others.♥️ #DDay75 #normandy #veterans #trump #france #allies #macron

I thought you all might be interested in seeing these scenes as President Trump and the First Lady arrived at Buckingham Palace to officially launch their state visit to the United Kingdom, where they will have lunch with the royals (including Prince Harry) and attend a dinner hosted by the Queen. President Trump’s visit is expected to be greeted with protests - a rally will take place in London on Tuesday. Prior to this visit he ruffled more than a few feathers with his comments about Megan Markle, Boris Johnson, Theresa May and tweeted earlier this morning about London’s mayor Sadiq Khan, calling him a “stone cold loser.” #presidenttrump #queenelizabeth #royals #uk #news #sadiqkhan #buckinghampalace

Severe weather has raged across communities from the Rocky Mountains to the Mid-Atlantic in recent weeks. Idaho, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, and Pennsylvania all saw massive twisters touch down over the past several days. Surrounding areas in Ohio and Kansas have been hit particularly hard. In the last week alone, authorities have linked tornadoes to at least seven deaths and scores of injuries. On Monday, 55 tornadoes may have touched down, and at least 27 tornadoes were reported on Tuesday. Federal government weather forecasters logged preliminary reports of more than 500 tornadoes in a 30 day period. This past Tuesday was the 12th consecutive day with at least 8 tornado reports, beating the record set in 1980 according to Dr. Patrick Marsh, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center. The storms have drawn their fuel from two sources - a high pressure area that pulled the Gulf of Mexico’s warm, moist air into the central United States, where it combined with the effects of a trough trapped over the Rockies, which included strong winds. My heart breaks for all those hurt and affected, please keep them in your prayers. I will post ways to help soon! ♥️ 📷: @apnews #tornado #kansas #ohio #weather #naturaldisasters #news

#RobertMueller made his first public statement since he was appointed as Special Counsel two years ago. He stated that “Russian intelligence officers who were part of the Russian military launched a concerted attack on our political system.” Mueller went on to say that after the investigation, “if we had the confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.” Other main takeaways from Mueller’s statement was that the Special Counsel’s hands were tied by DOJ regulations - which state that a President cannot be charged with a federal crime while he’s in office - but they left the door open for Congress to act. Mueller said that the report was his testimony when he would not provide any information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before Congress. He concluded his statement by saying, “There were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election, and that allegation deserves the attention of every American.” What were your reactions?👇🏼#mueller #congress #departmentofjustice #robertmueller

It’s an important reminder that as we honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice by remembering their service, we are also mindful of the fact that we have to take care of those who came back home with scars we can’t see.

I ♥️ Dr. Ruth. We all know and love her as the diminutive (she’s 4’7”!!) sex therapist who changed the way we talk about the most intimate parts of our lives with her frank and open approach to #sexeducation. Her new #documentary “Ask Dr. Ruth” reveals so much about her extraordinary life and she was kind enough to stop by our offices and talk to me about it! She answered some of your sex questions & had plenty to say about sex, politics, the current state of our country, and her experience growing up as a 10 year old in Nazi occupied Germany. At 91 years young, she is still a force to be reckoned with and I hope you take time to watch our interview and hear about her incredible life! (PS: She loved Molner!🥰) PPS: “Ask Dr. Ruth” will be streaming on @hulu starting June 1st. #drruth #askdrruth #sextherapist #interview #wcw #letstalkaboutsex

It was such a pleasure to meet and interview Alice Marie Johnson, who really is a remarkable woman. If you don’t know Alice’s story, you need to. She was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for a first time, nonviolent drug offense. She never once lost hope, or gave up fighting for her freedom. Alice was an exemplary prisoner who became a minister, a hospice counselor, wrote and directed plays, led a dance group, and was always of service to her fellow inmates. After a video of Alice speaking in prison went viral, it caught the attention of @kimkardashian, who was so moved she decided she needed to help in any way she could. Kim’s activism on Alice’s behalf led President Trump to grant Alice clemency after serving 21 years in prison. Alice is now determined not to let her newfound freedom go to waste, and works tirelessly to inform and repair the US criminal justice system and help people just like her. Her new book, “After Life: My Journey from Incarceration to Freedom,” is out now and it’s an incredible read. Check out our interview on my IGTV and @youtube channel! PS: Alice came with her two sisters, Dolores and Patricia (who never stopped fighting for Alice’s freedom!) and her nephews Derek and Jeffery! It was a family affair! 😊♥️ #alicejohnson #afterlife #kimkardashian #donaldtrump #inspirational #clemency #prisonreform

This is @nye_ohh_mee (Naomi Himmelstein) who I met at an @imentororg event. She’s 26, an accountant at Ernst and Young and has been mentoring a young lady who is now off to college in the fall. Naomi is awesome. Smart, sweet, funny (and so pretty) and we’re new friends. Oh, and did a mention she’s a fellow @uva graduate? She has faced some serious health issues over the last year...she has had her liver resected TWICE and it’s been really hard. She’s home recovering from her second surgery and I just wanted to tell you all about her and ask you to say a prayer for her. She’s keeping the faith but every little bit helps! Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻

My favorite lyrics, the introduction to Over the Rainbow were left out of the movie but somehow they seem very appropriate along with this photo my friend Laurie sent me from my favorite spot. When all the world is a hopeless jumble And the raindrops tumble all around Heaven opens a magic lane When all the clouds darken up the skyway There's a rainbow highway to be found Leading from your window pane To a place behind the sun Just a step beyond the rain. Happy Saturday friends. ❤️🌈

🚨The Big Story🚨Yesterday, the Alabama Senate approved a legislation that bans abortions at every stage of pregnancy and criminalizes the procedure for doctors, who could be charged with felonies and face up to 99 years in prison. It includes an exception for cases where the mother’s life is at serious risk, but not for cases of rape or incest. This is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade. The ban’s architects reflect the rising confidence of abortion critics nationwide after the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, who hope that the justices will use the case to reconsider the central holding in Roe v. Wade and allow the Alabama measure to take effect. “Until now, there was no prospect of reversing Roe,” said Eric Johnston who founded the Alabama Pro-Life Coalition and serves as its president. Many women don’t know for certain that they’re pregnant even at 6 weeks - which is the earliest a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Other state measures to ban abortion rights have advanced this year, with the governors of Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Ohio signing fetal heartbeat bills. The American Civil Rights Union of Alabama, the @aclu_nationwide, @plannedparenthood and Planned Parenthood of Southeast plan to challenge the bill in court “within a few weeks” should it become law. #alabama #abortion #scotus #news #thebigstory

I love @heidischreck so much. “What the Constitution Means to Me” is a fantastic, thoughtul, intellectually stimulating play that everyone should see. It also made me appreciate the importance of teaching civics and the fact that I for one could use a refresher course on the Constitution! I got to interview Heidi and it was so fun. We also decided our voices are very similar. “Husky.” Good luck at the @thetonyawards Heidi and I hope you bring home two silver circular awards! 😊#wednesdaywomen #girlcrush PS swipe to see her very cool jacket.

#TheBigStory: Swedish authorities announced today they would reopen an investigation into a rape allegation against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. because there was still probable cause to suspect that Assange had committed the crime in question. Assange, who previously was living in asylum at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, is in jail for jumping bail and the US is currently seeking extradition on a charge that stems from a leak of hundreds of thousands of documents, mostly related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that were published on Wikileaks. American authorities have accused Assange of conspiring with former Army intelligence analyst Chelseas Manning to crack an encoded password that would have permitted her to log into a classified Pentagon network under someone else’s identity. And now...some background on the Swedish case: The investigation began in 2010 after 2 women accused Julian Assange of assaulting them during separate sexual encounters while he was visiting Stockholm. The Swedish authorities issued a European arrest warrant seeking his extradition for questioning over “suspicion of rape, three cases of sexual molestation and illegal coercion.” Assange was arrested by the British police in 2011 and after a series of failed appeals while he was out on bail, he fled to the Ecuadorean Embassy to avoid extradition. One of Assange’s accusers in Sweden identified herself as Anna Ardin, and told local outlets Assange was “a man who has a twisted attitude toward women and a problem taking no for an answer.” Sweden dropped the initial investigation in May 2017, having concluded there was no way to proceed with the case as long as Assange was protected in the Ecuadorean embassy, but prosecutors indicted that they had not cleared him and reserved the right to reopen their inquiry. It is now up to the British courts to decide which extradition request takes precedent, the US or Sweden’s. Either way, the process could take 6 months to a year. #julia

It’s hard to keep up with these tragic shootings and acts of heroism that are resulting in too many senseless deaths. Can we as a community come up with some actions we can take to stop this insanity? We cannot become inured to these events, despite their frequency.

Kendrick Castillo, 18 was shot and killed at STEM School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado yesterday. He was a senior and was due to finish school in just 3 days. Kendrick was an award winning, four year member of his school’s robotics team. A classmate who witnessed the attack said Kendrick “lunged” at one of the shooters to save others. "The next thing I know is [the shooter] is pulling a gun and he’s telling nobody to move, and that’s when Kendrick lunged at him," Giasolli said on Today. "And he shot Kendrick, giving all of us enough time to get underneath our desks, to get ourselves safe, and to run across the room to escape." 💔 It devastates me that these senseless and preventable acts of violence continue to happen in places we should feel the safest and innocent lives are taken far too soon. According to @everytown there have been at least 43 incidents of gunfire on school grounds in 2019 resulting in 9 deaths and 29 injuries. This is unacceptable. #restinpeace #kendrickcastillo #colorado #stem

@cher at the 1974 #metgala is the physical embodiment of “camp” Here’s a round up of some of the wild looks from last night, and a bit of background of what exactly camp is. What did you all think of the looks and the theme? 🤔👇🏼 While the origins of camp can be traced back to the reign of the French King Louis XIV, the inspiration for this show is much more recent. The modern camp aesthetic was solidified in the 1964 Partisan Review essay “Notes on ‘Camp'” by the American critic Susan Sontag. The essence of Camp, writes Miss Sontag in the Partisan Review, is “its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration.” Tiffany lamps are Camp, she says by way of illustration, and so is a fondness for Scopitone films and the lurid pseudo journalism of the weekly New York National Enquirer. Turn-of-the-century postcards are Camp; so is enthusiasm for the ballet Swan Lake and the 1933 movie King Kong. Dirty movies are Camp — provided one gets no sexual kick out of them — and so are the ideas of the French playwright Jean Genet, an ex-thief and pederast who boasts about it. “Genet’s statement that ‘the only criterion of an act is its elegance’ is virtually interchangeable, as a statement, with Wilde’s ‘In matters of great importance, the vital element is not sincerity, but style.'” In matters sexual, according to Miss Sontag, Camp goes against the grain, cherishing either the androgynous, swoony girl-boys and boy-girls of pre-Raphaelite painting or the plangent supersexiness of Jayne Mansfield or Victor Mature. In art, Camp’s exaggeration must proceed from passion and naiveté. “When something is just bad (rather than Camp),” she writes “it’s often because the artist hasn’t attempted to do anything really outlandish. ‘It’s too much,’ ‘It’s fantastic,’ ‘It’s not to be believed,’ are standard phrases of Camp enthusiasm.” #met #metgala #redcarpet #costumes #camp #metropolitanmuseumofart #art #fashion

@eva.stories is based on a diary kept by Eva Heyman, a Jewish girl living in Nazi occupied Hungary in 1944. She died at the age of 13 in one of the gas chambers in Auschwitz. The creators of Eva’s Stories, Israel tech executive Mati Kochavi and his daughter Maya, created this account because; “The memory of the Holocaust outside of Israel is disappearing. We thought, let’s do something really disruptive. We found the journal and said, ‘Let’s assume that instead of pen and paper Eva had a smartphone and documented what was happening to her.’ So we brought a smartphone to 1944.” According to the @adl_national’s most recent report, in 2018 alone, anti-Semitic assaults more than doubled and 1,879 anti-Semitic incidents were recorded, including the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the history of the United States. It’s so important today more than ever to remember those we lost during the horror of the Holocaust. ♥️✡️ #holocaustmemorial #holocaustremembranceday #yomhashoah

Two other completely senseless and infuriating murders. Hopes, dreams and such potential snuffed out in an instant. Riley Howell, 21, was shot “point blank” in his classroom at UNC-Charlotte on Tuesday when he tried to take the gunman down. The shooter rushed into a classroom and opened fire just as Riley and 30 other students were listening to final presentations in their liberal studies class. According to Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney, Riley ran at the gunman and knocked him off his feet - an act which helped save the lives of his classmates and helped police arrest the suspect. “He did such a heroic thing. He was everybody’s protector. You felt safe when you were with Riley.”💔 I am sending his family my deepest sympathy for this unspeakable loss. I hate how often I have to post these tributes to people gone way too soon from gun violence. This has to end. #rip #northcarolina #unccharlotte #rileyhowell #remembertheirnames

Today, Congress is voting on the Equal Rights Amendment for the first time in 36 years. The ERA is a proposed amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee equal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. It would also require states to intervene in cases of gender violence (like domestic violence and sexual harassment) and it would guard against pregnancy and motherhood discrimination - and on top of all that, it would federally guarantee equal pay. It’s crazy to me that women still don’t have equal protection under the Constitution in 2019, so I hope Congress does the right thing and ratifies the #era!!!

Rest In Peace, Lori Gilbert Kaye 💔 Lori was shot and killed on Saturday when she jumped in between her rabbi and the shooter who opened fire at the Congregation Chabad in Poway, California. Lori, who was only 60 years old, was “the example of kindness to the fullest extent” and would bring joy and happiness to members of the congregation. Rabbi Goldstein said, “She was more about giving than taking and she did it with such a smile.” Lori made it a mission to accompany one woman diagnosed with breast cancer to every one of her oncology visits. He added, “She had an amazing spirit to her - an amazing attitude to life.” Lori was attending Saturday services to say a Kaddish prayer for her mother, who died in November. Roneet Lev, a friend of Lori’s and a member of the congregation said “She didn’t die a senseless death, she died advertising the problem we have with anti-Semitism and to bring good to this world…If God put an angel on this planet, it would have been Lori.” She is survived by her husband, and a 22 year old daughter. My heart breaks for her family, and for the whole congregation in Poway. This hate, anti-Semitism and violence needs to stop. #restinpeace #poway

Former Vice President Joe Biden, 76 announced today he is seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge President Trump in 2020. In his announcement video, Mr. Biden chose to talk about the white supremacy march in Charlottesville instead of policy issues. “We are in the battle for the soul of this nation, Mr. Biden said. “I believe history will look back on four years of this president and all he embraces as an aberrant moment in time. But if we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation, who we are, and I cannot stand by and watch that happen.” Mr. Biden joins the race with 19 other Democratic candidates and is an early front-runner for the nomination.

These are some of the victims of the Sri Lanka terror attacks that occurred on Easter Sunday. The death toll currently stands at 290, with over 500 people injured. My heart breaks for all the families and friends of the victims and for the senseless hate and violence that is happening in the world right now. 💔 It is sickening. Please pray for these families. ▪️Kieran Shafritz de Zoysa Kieran was a fifth grader at Sidwell Friends school in Washington DC. He had been on a leave of absence and was living in Sri Lanka “Kieran was passionate about learning, he adored his friends, and he was incredibly excited about returning to school,” said Rachel Kane, the middle school principal. ▪️Anita Nicholson, Alex Nicholson, and Annabel Nicholson The Nicholson family was on vacation in Sri Lanka, and were eating breakfast at their hotel when the bomb went off. Anita, Alex (14), and Annabel (11) were killed instantly, and their father, Ben Nicholson survived. “Mercifully,” Ben said, “all three of them died instantly and with no pain or suffering.” ▪️Zayan Chowdhury Zayan (8) was the relative of a prominent Bangladeshi politician. Zayan was eating breakfast on the ground floor of his hotel with his father when the blast went off. ▪️Nisanga Mayadunne and Shantha Mayadunne Shantha was a celebrity chef in Sri Lanka who had her own cooking show. She offered classes for locals and tourists and focused on quick and easy meals. She and her daughter, Nisanga were killed in the Shangri-La Hotel explosion. They were there enjoying an Easter breakfast with their family. ▪️Dieter Kowalski Dieter, a 40 year old Denver resident was on a business trip to Sri Lanka. It was his second visit to the country in three years and “He was really happy to go there,” said his mother Inge, “He was looking forward to the food.” He was in line waiting to get breakfast at his hotel when the bomb went off. “He was a happy guy,” said his mother, “We are all in shock.” #srilanka #restinpeace #remembertheirnames

Happy Easter! 🐇🐣🐰 I’m in Tokyo so reached back into the archives to post some photos from Easters past. Sadly couldn’t find any pictures of the girls with their baskets on my phone! So these lewks as the kids say will have to do. Plus my very Martha Easter egg tree. I didn’t do the lamb one but did do the others! Very crafty! 😊Happy Easter everyone. Sending the joy and promise of Spring and new beginnings wherever you are. 🌷🌸🌼🌺💐

20 years ago, two teenagers opened fire at Columbine High School, killing 12 of their classmates and a teacher in one of America’s deadliest school shootings. The next day, with this close-knit Colorado community deep in mourning, I sat down with Craig Scott, 16, who lost his sister Rachel, and Michael Shoels, who lost his son Isaiah. I’ll never forget that morning: It was early in the morning, pitch dark, and snow had just begun to fall. Everyone was in tremendous shock, but witnessing Craig, holding Michael’s hand, mustering the strength to speak about waiting for Rachel to walk out of the building as well as what he witnessed on that day…it was unbelievably powerful. In schools alone, in the years since Columbine, more than 223,000 children have been exposed to gun violence during classroom hours. Over the last 50 years, more Americans have been killed by guns (about 1.6 million through homicide or suicide) than in all United States wars combined (about 1.4 million.)

Tonight is the first night of Passover, the #spring Jewish festival that commemorates the liberation of Jews from slavery in Egypt. I loved this quote from the @92ndstreety’s Rabbi Peter Rubenstein: “For some of us, winter seems to have lingered too long so we’re anxious for springtime. This year the seasonal and religious holidays of Passover and Good Friday are on the same day. Both take a special meaning when so much of the news has been focused on migration. People are fleeing their homelands yearning for safety from violence and devastation and seeking a safer and better life for themselves and their children. I hope the refugees would be in our prayers and minds as we gather around our Seder or Easter tables to recount our own peoples’ stories of redemption and salvation. Best wishes for a chag sameach, a joyful and meaningful festival.” It is a story that celebrates the survival of the Jewish people centuries ago and reminds us of that freedom, dignity, and equality will always defeat hate. Happy #passover #goodfriday and #easterweekend everyone!💞 📸 taken from my friend @jillkargman via @chefchaya 😊

This quote from President Trump, found on page 290 of the #MuellerReport was his response to the news that Robert Mueller had been appointed special counsel. The full passage states: “On May 17th 2017, Acting Attorney General Rosenstein appointed Robert S.Mueller III as Special Counsel and authorized him to conduct the Russia investigation and matters that arose from the investigation. The President learned of the Special Counsel’s appointment from Sessions, who was with the President, Hunt, and McGahn conducting interviews for a new FBI Director. Sessions stepped out of the Oval Office to take a call from Rosenstein, who told him about the Special Counsel appointment, and Sessions then returned to inform the President of the news. According to notes written by Hunt, when Sessions told the President that a Special Counsel had been appointed, the President slumped back in his chair and said, “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fu***ed.” The President became angry, and lambasted the Attorney General for his decision to recuse from the investigation, stating, “How could you let this happen, Jeff?” The President said the position of Attorney General was his most important appointment and that Sessions had “let [him] down,” contrasting him to Eric Holder and Robert Kennedy. Sessions recalled that the President said to him, “you were supposed to protect me,” or words to that effect. The President returns to the consequences of the appointment and said, “Everyone tells me if you get one of these independent counsels it ruins your presidency. It takes years and years and I won’t be able to do anything. This is the worst thing that ever happened to me.” #mueller #muellerreport #trump #news #politics

Update at 4:25 eastern time, 10:25 in Paris French firefighter just said they aren’t sure if they will be able to save Notre Dame. “The next hour and a half will be decisive.” This is devastating. The #notredamecathedral in Paris is burning. The cause is not clear, but officials say it could be linked to renovation work. A major operation is underway to tackle the fire. The cathedral is 850 years old, and is the official seat of the Archbishop of Paris. “Everything is burning. The framework, which dates from the 19th century on one side and the 13th century on the other, there will be nothing left. We have to see if the vault, which protects the cathedral will be affected or not,” said André Finot, a spokesperson for the cathedral. The cathedral is a huge part of France’s history: ▪️Henry VI of England was made king of France inside the Notre Dame in 1431 ▪️Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned emperor in the cathedral in 1804 ▪️In 1909, Joan of Arc who helped France battle the English and was burned at the stake centuries earlier, was beautified in the cathedral by Pope Pius X It’s devastating to see this beautiful structure up in flames.💔 #breakingnews #fire #paris

Today in Wake-Up Call☀️, we have an exclusive interview with @sarah_glow, one of the co-founders of @glowrecipe - a beauty and skincare line inspired by Korean beauty trends. (Perfect timing, since I’m in South Korea right now!😊) Sarah discusses the inspiration behind Glow Recipe, how she built her company from the ground up, and what inspired her to create a beauty company that straddles two cultures. “Bringing cultures together naturally became something I developed a strong passion for - embracing the beauty in our differences while celebrating our commonalities. Bridging Korean and American traditions through a common love for beauty and self-care was something my co-founder Christine and I were uniquely positioned to do and remains core to Glow Recipe’s mission today.” Read more of our interview in Wake-Up Call☀️ or by clicking the link in my bio! #mondaymotivation #glowrecipe #kbeauty #monday #wakeupcall #dailyspecial #koreanmakeup

Breaking News: Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange has been arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. According to London police, he was arrested for failing to surrender to the court. Ecuador has withdrawn Mr. Assange’s asylum after seven years of protecting him and is cooperating with authorities. In a tweet, Mr. Assange’s lawyer said  he “has been arrested not just for breach of bail conditions but also in relation to a US extradition request.” This story is developing and I will update you all as soon as we have more information. 📹: via @guardian #breakingnews #news #julianassange #wikileaks

Because it’s #nationalsiblingsday and I’m thinking of (and missing) Emily, I wanted to share this beautiful video @letswinpc filmed with Debbie Ryan for their Let’s Win Survivors Series. As you know, Emily passed away from pancreatic cancer, but she was determined to do all that could while she was here to help people battling this horrible disease. The Emily Couric Cancer center offers patients comprehensive, compassionate, seamless care - designed to make treatment more convenient and comfortable for patients. It is a beautiful reflection of my sister’s spirit and she would be so pleased to know how many people she continues to help. Thank you Debbie and the team at Let’s Win for this wonderful video.

This is the first EVER image of a black hole, which was released today by a team of scientists. The black hole pictured here is at the center of M87, a galaxy 54 million light years away!!! 🤯🤯🤯 “We have seen what we thought was unseeable. We have seen and taken a picture of a black hole,” Sheperd Doeleman, EHT Director and astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics said. Black holes are notoriously hard to see, and their gravity is so extreme that nothing - not even light - can escape across the boundary at a black hole’s edge. “We’ve been studying black holes for so long, sometimes it’s easy to forget that none of us has actually seen one.” France Cordova, director of the @nsfgov said. I think this is so incredibly cool (and a bit scary 😳!) What do you all think? #blackhole #eht #ehtblackhole #science #scienceiscool #space

We had a great talk about the importance of science, how adults can inspire kids' STEM ambitions, and more.

A harsh new criminal law in Brunei went into effect today - creating upset across the globe. Beginning today, extramarital sex, anal sex, and abortion are to be punished by death by stoning. The death penalty will also be required for other offenses including rape and some forms of blasphemy or heresy - like ridiculing the Quran or insulting the Prophet Muhammed. The law requires amputation of a hand or foot for some crimes, and whipping for others. The punishment for lesbian sex, which was previously imprisonment and a fine, is now 40 lashes. Brunei is a tiny monarchy on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It has a population of just 430,000 but tremendous oil wealth, making the sultan (who is also Brunei’s prime minister) Hassanal Bolkiah one of the wealthiest people on earth. “Brunei’s new penal code is barbaric to the core, imposing archaic punishments for acts that shouldn’t even be crimes,” Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director fo Human Rights Watch said in a statement. In a statement released on Saturday, Bolkiah’s office said “Brunei is a sovereign Islamic and fully independent country, and, like all other independent countries, enforces its own rule of laws. Shariah, apart from criminalizing and deterring acts that are against the teachings of Islam also aims to educate, respect and protect the legitimate rights of all individuals, society or nationality of any faiths and race.” George Clooney, @theellenshow, and @eltonjohn are among many who have called for a boycott of several luxury hotels owned by Brunei - which include the Hotel Bel-Air and The Beverly Hills Hotel in LA and the Dorchester in London. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this deeply upsetting story below. #thebigstory #wednesday #news #brunei #lgbt #lgbtq

Today is #EqualPayDay. When women are underpaid, everyone is impacted. I believe each person should be fairly compensated for their work, and do not want to wait 100 years to get there. Though the difference between the earnings of men and women has shrunk, significant disparities in how women and men are paid still remain. Additionally, it is important to remember that women are not a single homogenous group - women of color are more likely to experience pay disparities than their white counterparts.

As many of you probably heard (especially if you read my newsletter this am!) a second woman has come forward to talk about her “uncomfortable encounter” with @joebiden in 2009. She claimed he grabbed her head and she thought he was going to kiss her - “It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head. He put his hand around my neck and pulled me into rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.” In this morning’s ☀️Wake-Up Call☀️ @gloriasteinem said “Joe Biden hugs everything. He hugs a lamppost. So, it’s not that her story is not true. It is true. But in his shoes, I would’ve just said, ‘I’m a hugger, and I should reexamine this, and I’m sorry.’ She also pointed out - “It’s completely out of proportion. We have a crotch-grabber in the White House. Where is that in the discussion?” I’m curious to hear what you all think about Joe Biden’s behavior and the way it’s being covered by the media. Should this be disqualifying or is it being blown out of proportion? I’m interested in hearing from people of all ages because I’m sensing a generational divide (but you tell me!) Thanks to the people who have DM’d me with their thoughts - I’m reading them all! - but I thought this would be a good place for us all to have a discussion. #joebiden #wakeupcall #news #tuesday

After I did this, there was a 20% increase in the number of people who came in to get colonoscopies - some doctors dubbed it "The Couric Effect." 😅 But in all seriousness, this is something I care about so much, and it is still #coloncancerawarenessmonth so please please please get screened, tell your friends and family to get screened - it saves lives!

Peter Tabichi, a math and physics teacher from rural Kenya who gives away 80% of his monthly income to help his students was awarded the $1 million Varkey Foundation Global Teacher prize last week. He teaches at a rural Kenyan school that only has one computer, poor internet, and a student-teacher ratio of 58:1. Nearly all his students are from poor families and almost a third of them are orphans or have only one parent. Peter's students face many challenges, including food scarcity, drug abuse, teenage pregnancies, and young marriages. But at the Teriko Mixed Day Secondary School were Peter teaches, enrollment has doubled over three years and more of the students are going to college. "Everyday in Africa we turn a new page and a new chapter. Today is another day. This prize does not recognize me but recognizes this great continene's young people." Peter, you are hands down one of the world's best teachers! Keep up the good work! ☺️♥️ #thegoodguys #teacheroftheyear #lovethis

Gloria – because of you, I became a card carrying member of the feminist party. When anyone eschewed the label, I’d remind them what the word feminism means: the political, economic and social equality of the sexes, and who the hell can argue with that?

After a two year investigation, involving 500 witnesses, more than 3,500 subpoenas and warrants, and 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, Robert Mueller’s investigation is over. The investigation led to charges against 37 defendants, which included six Trump associates, 26 Russians, and 3 Russian companies. Seven defendants have pleaded guilty, and one, Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort was convicted at trial. Mr. Mueller’s investigation of whether the President committed obstruction of justice did not conclude the President committed a crime, but it also “does not exonerate him,” Attorney General William Barr quoted from Mueller’s report. Mr. Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein made the determination the evidence was “not sufficient” to support prosecution. Mr. Mueller’s team has no plans to issue any new indictments. On Sunday, Mr. Barr submitted to Congress a four-page summary of Mr. Mueller’s conclusions which stated, “The special counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 US Presidential Election.” 🤔What happens now? Democrats have demanded that Mr. Barr make Mr.Mueller’s full report public and provide the special counsel’s underlying evidence to Congress. They are threatening to subpoena and take the Trump administration to court if they are not satisfied with what the justice department provides. Trump said to reporters over the weekend before flying back to Washington from West Palm Beach, Florida:"It was just announced there was no collusion with Russia...there was no collusion with Russia, there was no obstruction, none whatsoever." It was a complete and total exoneration. It's a shame our country had to go through this. To be honest, it's a shame your President had to go through this." This was a pretty anticlimactic reveal - I would love to hear your thoughts on these new developments now that the

This broke my heart. 19 year old Sydney Aiello, from Parkland, Florida took her own life a few days ago. Her close friend Meadow Pollack was one of the victims of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and Sydney was reportedly suffering from survivors guilt, PTSD and was understandably nervous about being in college classrooms. According to a Go Fund me page she loved yoga, cheerleading and “brightening up the days of others.” I am gutted by this and sending my love and support to the Parkland community.

This week the electoral college has been in the crosshairs, ever since Elizabeth Warren suggested abolishing it. So I thought it might be useful to show you this video done by the smart people at @tededucation. It’s a bit dated, but it’s a great primer (or refresher if 8th grade seems like a long time ago!) We’ve had two presidents in the last 16 years who didn’t win the popular vote - and many people think that’s a problem. Also, the founders established the Electoral College in 1787 when they had no idea the US would ultimately have a two party system or that blacks and women would win the right to vote. In fact, it was a way to ensure that less populated Southern states where slaves were considered only 3/5ths of a white person when state populations were being determined. It’s pretty complicated but we thought this video is a good place to start! What do you think of abolishing the electoral college? Will it unfairly advantage more populated urban areas as some have argued? Or is canning it essential in a representative democracy? John Oliver, where are you when we need you?

Beautiful words from @jacindaardern ♥️♥️ Thousands gathered together in Hagley Park, and around New Zealand, to reflect on the 50 victims of the #christchurch terror attack. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern spoke simply moments before the two minutes silence was observed. “According to Muslim faith, the Prophet Mohammed, sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, ‘The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When any part of the body suffers, the whole body feels pain.' New Zealand mourns with you. We are one.” #Repost @1newsnz #weareone #christchurch #christchurchmosqueshooting #jacindaardern #theyareus #newzealand #1newsnz #christchurchattack

Thank you @greenynbc for doing such a nice job on the piece about Jay. I promise I won’t be nagging you about screening too much longer...only 13 more days of March which as you all know by now is colon cancer awareness month! I really want to make sure you and the people you love live the longest, healthiest lives possible. Can you try to call you doctors today and make an appointment if you are 45 or over? Now here’s the drill on insurance. Because the government (The US Preventative Services Task Force) and the GI societies have not yet echoed the American Cancer Society recommendations of a screening colonoscopy at 45, your insurance may not cover it-until you turn 50. HOWEVER, if you’re considered high risk (family history) or you’ve had symptoms, particularly blood in your stool, your insurance should cover the procedure. If you’re average risk, you can ask your doctor about less expensive alternatives. Hope this is helpful! #SU2C #coloncancerawareness #CCA

More of the beautiful souls of #christchurch via @khaledbeydoun ▪️Mucad Ibrahim, 3 was the youngest of the 50 victims. He was “energetic, playful, and liked to smile and laugh a lot,” his brother Abdi said. He was so loving and loved tagging along with his brother and father to the mosque every Friday. He also loved to pray alongside them. ▪️Ghulam Hussein (64) and Karam Bibi (63) a a couple, were killed on Friday. They were visiting their son Zeeshan and their grandchildren from Pakistan. Zeeshan was killed with them at the mosque on Friday. They loved their grandchildren more than anything. ▪️Zeeshan Raza, 38 was the only son of Ghulam Hussein and Karam Bibi. He had a degree in engineering and had just recently moved to Christchurch and rented a house near the Al-Noor mosque. ▪️Muse Nur Aale, 77 taught religious studies at the Al-Noor Mosque. He lived in Christchurch for 30 years with his wife. The couple had no children, but Muse viewed his students as his own. They loved him, and he loved his community. ▪️Avverros, who is two years old, stands atop his father after he was shot several times. Moments earlier, his father shielded Avverros from getting shot by the terrorist. The good news is that both are expected to live. ▪️Abdul-Aziz Wahabzadah saved scores of lives and chased away the terrorist at the Linwood Mosque. Abdul-Aziz grabbed a cash register and threw it on the terrorist, hurting him and knocking the rifle out of his hands. He then chased him out of the mosque, and ran him off. He saved countless lives. ▪️Junaid Ismail, 36 was born and raised in Christchurch. He was with his twin brother in the mosque when he was called. His brother managed to escape with his wife.

Some of the victims of the #christchurch shooting via @khaledbeydoun 💔 ▪️Karam Bibi, 63 was killed with her husband Ghulam and son Zeeshan. She was visiting her son from Pakistan and was one of many Pakistanis killed in #christchurch. ▪️Kamel Darwish, 38 was a Palestinian man who only moved to New Zealand 6 months ago. His wife and three children waited for him in Jordan, until he secured work and a home. He was getting ready to send for them. ▪️Hussein Moustafa, 70 of Egypt. His daughter in law said, “Nobody ever saw him in a bad mood.” He was always in good spirits. Hussein loved the mosque, and could always be seen cleaning it, and took great pride in how it looked. He loved New Zealand and his community. ▪️Linda Armstrong was born in New Zealand and converted to Islam - embracing the faith and the community. She was a warm soul, and adopted a boy from Bangladesh. She had grandchildren and fought Islamophobia in #Christchurch. ▪️Sohail Shahid loved his wife and kids more than anything. His wife called him “my best friend.” The native of Pakistan worked hard to become a successful engineer. He was smart, driven, and most importantly, a family man. ▪️Atta Ellayan.

#Repost @shaunking 💔💔💔 See my stories for profiles of some of the victims. Meanwhile.... Halfway through the New Zealand shooting, as dozens around him lay dead, a single unarmed worshipper rushed the shooter, doing whatever he could to make him stop. Some people will publicize the villain. Let's remember the heroes instead. This is Naeem Rashid. Even as his son Talha was shot and people around him lay bleeding in the mosque, he rushed the gunman, with no weapon, just his bare hands. Both he and his son lost their lives. #NewZealandTerroristAttack #christchurch (Words from @muhammadlila)

White supremacy, enabled by technology is a huge national and international problem. Social media was used to spread the killer’s (yes, the terrorist’s) message of hate, vitriol and fear of pluralism and multiculturalism. (And this list doesn’t even include the shooting at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin that killed six or the murder of Heather Heyer by a white supremacist in Charlottesville) It must be condemned in the strongest terms possible. How can we work together to stop this madness?

I was devastated to wake up to the news this morning that 49 people were killed in mass shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand on Friday. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said “This is one of New Zealand’s darkest days. What has happened here is an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence - an act that has absolutely no place in New Zealand.” Violent crime in New Zealand is rare compared to the rest of the world - murders in the country fell to a 40 year low of 35 in 2017. This story is still developing but here is what we know so far: 🔹Officials said in an evening news conference that 41 people had been killed at Al Noor Mosque, and 7 at Linwood Mosque and that another victim had died at Christchurch Hospital. 🔹Four people - three men and one woman had been taken into custody, and that one of them was Australian. 🔹A man in his late 20s has been charged with murder and will appear in Christchurch court on Saturday morning. 🔹A 17-minute video was posted on @facebook and shows part of the attack. The clip which appears to have been taken from a helmet camera worn by a gunman shows a car driving through the street of Christchurch before pulling up in front of Al Noor Mosque. He approaches the mosque on four and begins shooting for two minutes at the worshipers inside. 🔹One of the gunmen left behind a 74 page manifesto that railed against Muslims and immigrants and cites other right wing extremists who have committed mass acts of violence. 🔹Before the shooting, someone appearing to be the gunman posted links to a white-nationalist manifesto on @twitter and 8chan - an online forum known for extremist right-wing discussions. In this video, the man identified himself as a 28-year-old Australian and he listed his white nationalist heroes. 🔹A Muslim leader in New Zealand said the attack was especially shocking as it took place around Friday Prayer. #news #christchurch #newzealand #heartbreaking #massshooting

On a serious note, I wanted to bring attention to what’s been going on in #venezuela. Currently, Venezuela is in the midst of a massive political and economic crisis, caused largely by Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro, who is a socialist dictator. For years, Venezuela has faced a devastating economic collapse that has created a humanitarian crisis and caused millions to flee the country. Maduro has hijacked the country and kept the Venezuelan military loyal through extortion and fear. Information is restricted and a lot of people don’t have access to the internet or social media. Maduro was reelected last May, but many citizens and international observers claim the process was rigged and that Juan Guaido, the head of the National Assembly (and Venezuela’s legislative body) is the rightful (temporary) president of the country. President Trump along with other world leaders, have officially recognized Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate leader, which has angered Maduro and caused him to sever diplomatic ties with the US. Right now, inflation in Venezuela is more than 1 million percent and most people cannot buy food or medicine - and lines to get into grocery stores wrap around the block. To put it into perspective, salaries are less than $5 USD/month, and that is what 12 eggs cost if you are lucky enough to find them on the black market. On top of that, a five-day blackout began last week which has affected about 70% of the country and plunged some of the largest cities - including the capital, Caracas into complete darkness. At least 20 people have died during the blackouts - mainly due to the fact that there is no power in the hospitals. In addition, people are getting sick because the river in Caracas (which is heavily polluted) has become one of the only reliable sources of flowing water during the power outages. “None of us have ever lived through something like this - not my generation, not my parents, not my grandmother,” Anna Ferrera, a student from Caracas

Goodness...the lengths people will go to get their kids into college these days. Federal prosecutors have charged 50 people across 6 states, including Hollywood actors, top executives, and elite college coaches in a $25 million college entrance cheating scheme. The alleged scam focused on getting students admitted to elite universities like University of Southern California, Georgetown, Yale, Stanford, UCLA, University of Texas, and Wake Forest by paying thousands of dollars to William “Rick” Singer - the founder of a for-profit college prep business based in California.  He would pay people to take tests for their children, bribe test administrators, and bribe college coaches and administrators to identify applicants as athletes “or other favored admissions categories.” Singer pled guilty this afternoon to charges of racketeering conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and obstruction of justice. Some of the parents, who include Lori Laughlin and Felicity Huffman, as well as Gamal Abdelaziz the former president and CEO of Wynn Resorts Development and Gordon Caplan, co-chairman of the law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, spent between $200,000 to $6.5 million to ensure their kids received spots at the schools of their choice. Loughlin and Huffman were charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services fraud. Loughlin and her husband agreed to pay $500,000 to bolster their two daughters’ chances of gaining admission to USC. She also had her daughter post on a rowing machine to bolster the false claim that she was the coxswain of the LA Marine Club Team. Huffman and her husband William H. Macy paid $15,000 to get one of their daughters unlimited time for her SAT test. “This case is about the widening corruption of elite college admissions through the steady application of wealth, combined with fraud. There can be no separate college admission for wealthy, and I will add there will not be a separate criminal jus

23 people were killed in eastern Alabama and at least 100 were injured when a massive tornado struck the area on Sunday - more than doubling the death toll from all tornadoes nationwide last year. The storm was almost a mile wide with winds as powerful as a Category 5 hurricane. It left a path of destruction more than 20 miles long in Lee County. Six tornadoes struck on March 3rd near Beauregard, an area that rarely sees such strong storms. The National Weather Service said that the tornado in Lee County had a preliminary EF-4 rating, the second-strongest category, with winds as strong as 170 mph. Parts of Georgia were also affected by the tornado. President Trump arrived in Auburn, Alabama today with the First Lady and their son, Barron. They will head to Lee County with the Governors of Georgia and Alabama to view the damage. Below are the names of the victims, who I would like to honor today and I'm sending my love to their families and friends and all those affected by this storm. 💔 #tornado #alabama #naturaldisaster Armando Hernandez, 6 Charlotte Anne Miller, 59 David Dean, 53 Emmanuiel Jones, 53 Eric Jamal Stenson, 38 Felicia Woodall, 22 Florel Tate Stenson, 63 Henry Lewis Stenson, 65 Irma Gomez-Moran, 41 James Henry Tate, 86 Jimmy Lee Jones, 89 Jonathan Marquez Bowen, 9 Maggie Delight Robinson, 57 Mamie Roberts Koon, 68 Marshall Lynn Grimes, 59 Mary Louise Jones, 83 Mykala Waldon, 8 Raymond Robinson Jr, 63 Ryan Pence, 22 Sheila Creech, 59 Taylor Thornton, 10 Tresia Robinson, 62 Vicki Braswell, 69

Good morning, everyone!☀️ Today’s #GoodGuy is Nathan Alexander, a mathematics professor at @morehouse1867. One of Nathan’s students, senior Wayne Hayer arrived to class with his five month daughter Assata because he couldn’t find a babysitter and had nobody else to watch her. “I had a book bag on and a baby strapped to my chest. I looked crazy,” As he approached the door, Hayer said he felt intimidated. “Then Dr. Alexander saw me and welcomed me with open arms.” Dr. Alexander said “No problem, in fact I will even hold her so you can take better notes in class.” And he taught the entire lecture with the child in his arms (BTW while he was teaching, little Assata fell asleep and Dr. Alexander joked “I guess my lecture must be really boring!” 🤣🤣) and also stayed after class helping students with questions about the lecture. “There’s an idea of what a student is and we don’t think about ways to support parents that are students. That’s where I come in,” Dr. Alexander said. “Community matters. I want a world where Wayne doesn’t feel like he can’t get ready for his exam even though his child care fell through.” I absolutely loved this and the students at Morehouse are lucky to have a professor like Dr. Alexander! ♥️👏🏼 #thegoodguys #thursday #inspiration

My heart goes out to the one and only Alex Trebek who announced today he’s been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Or as he might say on @jeopardy “A courageous man who is determined to beat this terrible disease with the help of family, friends, and prayers from around the world.” WHO IS ALEX TREBEK?! We love you Alex and we are cheering you on. If anyone can be helpful at @su2c please let me know. 💜 #jeopardy #alextrebek #pancreaticcancer

The @HBO documentary #leavingneverland is one of the most devastating things I’ve ever watched. To see the lifelong trauma and destruction the abuse by Michael Jackson had on these men is hard to imagine, much less watch. I so admire their courage in coming forward and their wives and siblings have my complete support as they continue on this difficult journey. I wonder if more men will now come forward. If any of you watched it I’d so appreciate your thoughts.

This is so so sad. Luke Perry has died at the age of 52 after suffering a massive stroke. He was best known for playing heartthrob Dylan on ‘Beverly Hills 90210.’ He was surrounded by his children Jack and Sophie, fiancé Wendy, his ex-wife and his family and friends.💔 #rip #lukeperry

Hi everyone, happy #March 1st! As some of you may know, March is #coloncancerawareness month which means that if you’re 50 or older (45 or older if you’re African American) and you haven’t talked to your doctor about getting screened…and to my younger followers, if you haven’t talked to your friends and family about getting screened, I’m here to remind you that NOW is the perfect time to do it! Colon cancer is the second leader cancer killer of men and women combined, but it is so preventable. Screenings save lives. #FBF to when my very dear friend #jimmykimmel did one and proved just how easy it is, and that there’s nothing to be nervous about. Tag someone who should get screened + tag me when you get screened! @su2c

My friend David Brooks, the @nytimes columnist and best selling author started Weave: The Social Project nine months ago at the @aspeninstitute after he realized how many amazing people at the local level were working to strengthen and unite their communities during an incredibly divisive time in our nation. The weavers are doing incredible work to serve their communities and help create a world in which love and equality are plentiful, not scarce. I am going to be highlighting these men and women for my #WednesdayWomen and #GoodGuys series. First up, is Dylan Tête, an Army combat veteran who is the Executive Director and Founder of Bastion Community of Resilience - an innovative housing solution for returning warriors with traumatic brain injuries in New Orleans. Bastion is a community made up of 19 double family homes with 73 residents that helps incubate meaningful relationships for soldiers who are recovering from the wounds and casualties of war. For years, after he returned to New Orleans from Iraq, Dylan was just unbelievably angry, but "One day I realized that I could help those going through hell because I’d been in hell too.” To learn more about Bastion and the incredible work they’re doing visit: https://www.joinbastion.org/ #wednesday #weavers #goodguys #veterans #neworleans

I'm really excited to share with you all a documentary film currently in post-production  that celebrates unity over division, welcome and acceptance over fear, and the power of love to heal wounds 🙌. @clarkstonthefilm follows three refugees and a former Klansman who, in the wake of personal loss and trauma, seek to re-establish their identity in a nation struggling with an identity crisis of its own. These unlikely companions - who are connected by the most diverse square mile in America, Clarkston, GA -show our capacity for resilience, forgiveness, and love.  Swipe 👉 to see the full trailer!  I'm so pleased to be joining this team (with 2 fellow wahoos! 💙🧡) as an executive producer and look forward to sharing this powerful story with you in early 2020. #clarkston #georgia #newproject #trailer #doc #documentary

This is unbelievably disturbing.  From 2014-2018 the Department of Health and Human Services received more than 4,500 complaints of sexual abuse against unaccompanied minors-this, according to internal agency documents released today by Florida Democratic @repteddeutch.  Additionally there have been 1,303 complaints against staff members reported to the Justice Department over this same period, including 178 allegations of sexual abuse by adult staff. These allegations included everything from rumors of relationships with unaccompanied minors to showing pornographic videos to minors to forcibly touching minors’ genitals. Congressman Deutch said “This behavior - it’s despicable, it’s disgusting, and this is just the start of questions that HHS is going to have to answer about how they handle these and what’s happening in these facilities.” #thebigstory #breakingnews #news #tuesday #immigration

At the #oscars last night, Olivia Colman won Best Actress for The Favourite. She definitely charmed the crowd with her lovely speech and I’m so happy she won! I can’t wait to see her in the new season of The Crown where she’ll play Queen Elizabeth II! She got her start on the silver screen in England and has achieved much success and recognition for her work. She has won four @bafta Awards and two @goldenglobes in addition to her new #oscar ! 👏🏼👏🏼 PS, I read this funny story about her and I had to share because it made me love her even more! When Olivia and her husband visited Buckingham Palace for a formal dinner, she got her husband to steal some toilet paper. “He got two squares of loo roll, just to say, ‘We got it from Buckingham Palace.’” Sounds like a girl after my own heart! 💕 Congrats, Olivia!! #oscars #oliviacolman #academyawards #monday #mondaymotivation #mondaymood #bestactress #buckinghampalace #thecrownnetflix #royals

She walked around and introduced herself to every single person in the studio and shook his or her hand. When she died I couldn’t compose myself and the director went straight to a commercial break. I love watching this clip when Audrey won the Oscar for Roman Holiday in 1954. Her dress is custom @givenchyofficial and she looks so beautiful.

This is why I love @NYC. I was having lunch with my friend @shelleyzalis at @langhamnyc and I see a nice young man eating lunch alone. “Michael?” I asked tentatively. It was @michaelbuble who I met many years ago when he performed on the @todayshow and we actually sang a duet together. (Thank you @davidfoster for making that happen!) I can’t really sing but it was a real high point for me. I know you all are dying to know what we sang so you can check out my stories. I got inspired and played it last night. (Even though I took lessons for ten years I play by ear and can figure things out. It’s a weird thing I can do lol. By the way it expired but it was “Something Stupid.” 😊Happy Friday everyone! ❤️❤️❤️ PS Michael is an absolute doll! 😍

#thebigstory: Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said at a briefing this morning that detectives believe Jussie Smollett concocted the story of a brutal hate crime because he was “dissatisfied with his salary” on the Fox drama “Empire.” Johnson said that Jussie paid two men $3,500 to carry out the fake attack after a threatening letter he sent to the Empire set in Chicago failed to get attention. Superintendent Johnson, a native of Chicago, who is also African American said, “This announcement today recognizes that Jussie Smollett took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career. I’m left hanging my head and asking why. Why would anyone, especially an African American man use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations? How could someone look at the hatred and suffering associated with that symbol and see an opportunity to manipulate that symbol to further his own career.” Smollett turned himself in to police this morning and was arrested on felony charges of disorderly conduct. He will appear in court for a bond hearing this afternoon, and he faces as many as three years in prison. What are your thoughts on this whole episode? I’d love to hear your comments and how you’re thinking about this so I can be a platform for this important conversation. #news #jussiesmollett #empire #chicago #letsdiscuss

#thebigstory: Senator Bernie Sanders (Independent, Vermont) and 2016 Democratic primary runner-up announced this morning that he was running for President (again). He joins an already crowded race, and is now the TWELFTH Democratic candidate to enter the 2020 arena. “We began the political revolution in the 2016 campaign, and now it’s time to move that revolution forward,” the independent senator told Vermont Public Radio this morning.  Sanders pointed to the Democratic Party’s leftward shift as the reason for a second run. “Our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial, and environmental justice.” He enters the race as a top contender, far outpacing other Democratic candidates in support and name identification. He has been a long time advocate for universal health care, tuition-free public college, women’s reproductive rights, lower prescription drug prices, and criminal justice reform. His Medicare-for-all bill was cosponsored by fellow presidential candidates @kamalaharris @kirstengillibrand @corybooker and @elizabethwarren . As always, would love to hear from you! #news #politics #president #berniesanders #breakingnews #democrats #2020 #candidate #tuesday

This is absolutely devastating 💔 I put a picture of their adorable family in my stories. It made me cry. #Repost @cnn ・・・ The day after Valentine’s Day, Terra Pinkard received a text message from the love of her life, Josh Pinkard: "I love you, I've been shot at work," it read. “It took me several times reading it for it to hit me that it was for real,” Pinkard wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday. Josh Pinkard was one of the five people killed when a gunman opened fire at the Henry Pratt Co. plant in Aurora, Illinois, on Friday afternoon. “I called his phone several times, text, FaceTime, nothing...I'm crying now as I write this. I want to shout from the rooftops about how amazing Josh was!" Terra Pinkard wrote. "The man who was dying and found the clarity of mind for just a second to send me one last text to let me know he would always love me." (📸: Facebook)

Lee Radziwill, the younger sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis passed away on Friday. She was 85. I was always in awe of her elegance. According to some accounts, her relationship with her more famous sister was complicated and sometimes difficult. As I read about her life-I loved looking at these beautiful photographs through the years. This one, from their month long trip to India, Pakistan and Italy in 1962, has always been one of my favorites. Always so chic. My sympathy to Lee’s family (I was lucky to know her son Anthony a bit, who was a wonderful person) and friends as they remember her and her fascinating life. 💗

I’m sorry to interrupt everyone’s Valentines Day, but this is so important. This is the one year anniversary of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. 17 human beings were killed-14 students and 3 teachers and 17 were wounded. I’m executive producing a documentary called Parkland (@parkland_thedocumentary ) directed by my friend Cheryl at @giganticproductions which is currently in production and will be released later this year. Last summer I interviewed Manny Oliver and his wife Patricia who lost their 17 year old son Joaquin in the massacre.  They have traveled all over the country, as Manny has created murals depicting the carnage caused by gun violence. One hundred people every day. Please say a prayer for the victims of #parkland tonight and all the lives cut tragically short. 💔 #msdstrong #endgunviolence

Women spend their entire lives trying to attain a standard of beauty that’s well, simply unattainable. That’s why I was really happy to hear that @cvspharmacy decided to do something about it. The CVS Beauty Mark indicates photos for beauty products have not been retouched. If the photos are, they have to say they were digitally altered. A year ago, CVS committed to transparency in imagery by the end of 2020. By February 8th (today!!!) nearly 70% of the beauty imagery in all of their locations nationwide have these new labels. I recently joined CVS and beauty brand executives, Dr. Rachel Rodgers, who is an Associate Professor of Applied Psychology at @northeastern, as well as @covergirl Ambassador @ayeshacurry at an event for the Beauty Mark initiative. Brand partners include @neutrogena, @covergirl @revlon @olay @almay @aveenous @rimmellondonus @lorealmakeup @maybelline @unilever @burtsbees and @physiciansformula What do you all think about this new effort? ♥️♥️♥️ #beautyisasbeautydoes #beauty #selfconfidence #naturalbeauty #seeher

I'm in Palm Beach, Fl to support the great cancer scientists at @danafarber , and saw this video and was so moved by it! As the President said during his #stateoftheunion address earlier this week, the fight against childhood cancer is a fight that all Americans can get behind. (He asked Congress to approve a new proposed budget for $500 million over the next 10 years to fund life-saving research). Today’s overall cure rate of 80 percent means that 1 in 5 children will die of their disease,” said Dr. James Downing, president and CEO of @stjude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. “So there is still a lot of work to be done. Of every 100 cancers diagnosed in the U.S., one is in a child. About 11,060 children younger than 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2019, the American Cancer Society projects, and 1,190 will die (as will 606,880 adults).The 80 percent cure rate compares to just under 60 percent in the mid-1970s. “Before, there were so few cures that doctors would let children go to the back of the ward and die,” Downing said. Additional money can help expand important clinical trials and fund more lifesaving research. I want to highlight the Police Chief of Freeport, Texas and send all my love to little Abigail, who is so so brave! ♥️♥️♥️ 📹: @cbsnews #friday #feelgood #love #adorable #cutekid #goabigail #brave

Today's edition of #thegoodguys comes from one of my followers (and fellow UVA grad!) Olivia Calzada, who wrote to me and nominated her father, Antonio. It’s such a love letter to her Dad and I am so happy to shine a light on this wonderful man. It also gives me an opportunity to celebrate ALL the parents out there who take such wonderful care of children with special needs. You are my heroes. ♥️ “My brother Antonio is 30 years old and has Cerebral Palsy. He had an acute hypoxic brain injury at birth which caused his disability. Since his birth, my father (also named Antonio) has dedicated his entire life to being the best possible father, caregiver, husband, and human being imaginable. My family and I grew up in Querétaro, México, where at the time there were essentially zero services available to kids and people with disabilities. In general, people with disabilities were, and continue to be, significantly stigmatized in Mexico (and many other foreign countries), but both of my parents always set an amazing example of equality, inclusivity, and love. My parents bargained for years with the local schools to allow my brother to attend, and eventually secured him an education. We moved to the Northern Virginia area in 2002 seeking better schooling, healthcare, and services, and have resided here ever since. Throughout my brother's lifetime, my father has had to make innumerable sacrifices and difficult decisions to prioritize his well-being. Aside from that, he has always set an example for the both of us to aim at the sun in every aspect of our lives-- personally I recently graduated with my Master's Degree in Nursing and became a Double Hoo, all of which I owe to both of my parents. My father is overall an amazing human being and deserves all the praise in the world!” Olivia, I could not agree more! #thegoodguys #thursday #love #inspiration #family #hero

Instagram is so fun because you meet so many great people and it feels like such a nice community. I met Christina Fagan who started the company @shitthatiknit (excuse her French) on this very platform and we ended up having coffee this morning while she was in New York! She loves to knit, started writing a blog, knitted hats with her mom one summer, started selling them, couldn’t keep up with the demand, found a network of women in Peru to make them, helps these women bring in income and work from their homes and now has a thriving business. You go Christina! So fun being with you and hearing your story this morning. ☀️☕️😘 And so glad it was cold enough for me to wear your hat!

Guess who’s coming to the #stateoftheunion..(swipe ⬅️ to see!) Tonight, President Trump will deliver his second State of the Union Address. Each member of Congress can bring a guest, usually a constituent, who helps illustrate issues currently facing the nation or the representative’s state. This year, the guests range from undocumented immigrants, veterans, members of the LBTQ community, health care advocates and parents of school shooting victims It will be interesting to see all these people in the same room as one another - will you be tuning in to watch the State of the Union tonight? PS: I will be highlighting who the other members of the House and Senate are bringing as their guests in my stories throughout the day! #stateoftheunion #sotu #president #trump #politics #dc #news #tuesday

OK Over-posting alert!!! I was very sad to see that Michel Legrand died last week. He was a French composer and jazz pianist who wrote beautiful music like the theme from the Summer of ‘42 and the Windmills of your Mind from the original Thomas Crown Affair. But my favorite was I Will Wait for You from the Umbrellas of Cherbourg. When I read about his death I wanted to figure out how to play it and I did! So in his honor here ‘tis. I’m laughing at the end because this was about the fifth time Molner recorded it because I kept messing up! 😘 PS I take requests! 😊

Some days you spend time with people who restore your faith in humanity. Today was such a day. I have so much respect and admiration for these two men. @nickkristof has spent his career helping us understand so many important issues about the world, from criminal justice reform to human rights abuses, including child marriage here in the US (and now laws are changing) often focusing on places that get very little attention, like Yemen. He’s written four books and has won two Pulitzer prizes for his important work. He’s now writing a book about his hometown of Yamhill, Oregon and the impact of a changing economy on the kids he grew up with. (Sorry to end with a preposition but with whom sounds so formal on Instagram!) Meanwhile @iamwesmoore is the CEO of @robinhoodnyc the largest anti poverty non-profit in NYC. Wes has a remarkable story-growing up in Baltimore, he witnessed his father’s death when he was four and his mom sent him to live with his grandparents in the Bronx, NY. After struggling academically, he was sent to military school where he crushed it, went to @johnshopkinsu and like me, became a Rhodes scholar. (OK I was kidding about the like me part). Oh and did I mention he was a paratrooper with the 82nd airborne and served in Afghanistan and was awarded the combat action badge? These two are shining a light on poverty and coming up with creative solutions for lifting people out of it. I am so proud of them and privileged to know them. There really are so many good people in the world. 🌎 And yes I guess they belong in my new feature #thegoodguys 😊 #theotherwesmoore #mobilityfrompoverty

Today is the first day of #blackhistorymonth, and this year’s theme is “Black Migrations.” Black History Month’s roots can be traced to the Great Migration of the early 20th century - when millions of African Americans from the South moved to northern cities hoping to find better job opportunities. It seems fitting today to honor the man who created Black History Month, Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Dr. Woodson was one of the most significant educators of the 20th century, and is known as the “father of black history.” He is also the second black man to earn a Ph.D. at Harvard University (W.E.B. Du Bois was the first!) Dr. Woodson spent his life advocating for scholarly research, study, and publication of works about the African American experience. In 1915, he founded the Association for the Study of African American Life and History because many historians in the 19th and 20th century left African Americans out of their history books, or if they were included, the facts were often untrue or distorted. In 1922, Dr. Woodson founded Associated Publishers, a publishing agency which he operated from his house in Washington DC. In February of 1926, he created “Negro History Week” to celebrate the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, which eventually turned into Black History Month. His most famous book, “The Mis-Education of the Negro” which he wrote in 1933, attacked the black middle class and educated black elite for adopting white values and attitudes. He also attacked black colleges who mostly had white presidents and were slow to include black history in their curriculum. It became a manifesto for black leaders advocating radical social change. “If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world. And it stands in danger of being exterminated.” Thank you for your work Dr. Woodson, and happy #blackhistorymonth

#TheBigStory: Senator @corybooker (Democrat, New Jersey) announced this morning he’s running for President. Senator Booker chose the first day of Black History Month to launch his campaign and said, “The history of our nation is defined by collective action; interwoven destinies of slaves and abolitionists; of those born here and those who chose American as home; of those who took up arms to defend our country, and those who linked arms to challenge and change it. I'm Cory Booker, and I'm running for President of the United States.” He joins the most diverse presidential primary field in history - with five women, one gay candidate, a Latino, and two African Americans. As the former mayor of Newark, Senator Booker built a platform and reputation as an “inner city politician.” He drew attention and money to the struggling city of Newark. In the Senate, Cory Booker has been one of the most aggressive critics of the Trump administration. His campaign will be called “Cory 2020” and said it will not accept contributions from corporate PACs and deferral lobbyists. How do you feel about Cory Booker and his candidacy? As always, would love to hear from you! PS: He gave the commencement speech at @yale when Ellie graduated! 🎓 #news #corybooker #presidentialrace #president #2020 #politics #blackhistorymonth

Today’s #WednesdayWoman is working to change the paucity of women of color in tech. While studying computer engineering in college, Kimberly Bryant was one of the only black women in her classes. Decades later, she found it troubling that her daughter’s computer science classrooms looked just like her’s did years ago - almost exclusively male and white. So in 2011, Kimberly founded @blackgirlscode, a nonprofit organization that provides young girls from underrepresented communities an opportunity to learn the basic skills for computer programming, robotics, and app development through volunteer-run workshops. “I want them to understand that they have the right, the power to create the life they want for themselves.” Kimberly’s ultimate goal is to provide African American youth with the skills to occupy some of the 1.4 million computing job openings expected to be available in the US by 2020 and to train one million girls by 2040. @blackgirlscode has established 7 institutes and has operated in 7 states in the US as well as Johannesburg, South Africa. They have reached over 3,000 students and plan to expand in 8 more cities across the US. Thank you Kimberly, for the work that you’re doing and for your dedication to future generations.

As most of you know, there is a #polarvortex sweeping through parts of the US Midwest and East Coast this week - subjecting nearly 220 million Americans to dangerously cold weather. There have already been five deaths linked to the extreme conditions this week. Authorities are urging people to bundle up, stay inside, and check in on the elderly. The polar vortex is bringing “the coldest air in a generation” and throughout the Midwest, strong winds will bring the wind chills to life threatening levels (they could hit minus 50°F in #northdakota #southdakota #illinois #wisconsin #michigan #iowa and #minnesota) Temperatures this cold could cause instant frostbite on exposed skin in regions where temperatures are plunging below zero. 🥶 Obviously, the most immediate at risk are the homeless in these areas. Here are some ways you can help: 🔹Call 311 or 911 if you see someone on the street. 311 will give you info about which local warming centers or shelters you can direct people too. buses, libraries, and churches. 🔹Donate public transportation cards, outerwear, or cash to homeless shelters. You can also call your local shelter to see what their needs are. 🔹In Chicago, @lyft is offering free rides to anyone trying to get to a warming center through Friday night. If you’re in the midst of it, be my on the scene reporters and tell me how you’re coping!!! ♥️ 📹: Jamie Hunt #winter #cold #weather #freezing #polarvortex2019

This is incredibly upsetting. Jussie Smollett, one of the stars of the hit show @empirefox was attacked in Chicago early Tuesday morning by two people who yelled racial and homophobic slurs at him. The attackers also wrapped a rope around his neck and poured an “unknown chemical substance” on him. According to Chicago police, they are investigating the incident as a “possible hate crime.” @jussiesmollett is gay and came out in 2015. He has been active in work revolving around HIV/AIDS prevention. He has been a prominent ally of advocacy groups like the @humanrightscampaign and the Black AIDS Institute. Hate crimes have been on the rise - of the more than 7,100 recorded incidents attributed to prejudice in 2017, roughly 60% were caused by biases involving race, ethnicity, and ancestry. About 16% were attacks on sexual orientation. Jussie took himself to Northwestern Hospital and “is in good condition,” according to police. #jussiesmollett #whatiswrongwithpeople

This is what a sea of brilliance looks like! 300 of the best and brightest cancer scientists in the country (and some from overseas)all working with @su2c (Stand Up To Cancer) came to our annual scientific summit in #LA to share their latest research. Ten years ago, nine women (including the late, great Laura Ziskin and yours truly) started this organization with the goal of discovering better cancer treatments and getting them to patients faster. Fast forward a decade and here we are: 1500 scientists, 25 dream teams from 180 institutions collaborating, not competing; not to mention 180 clinical trials involving 12,000 patients, contributing to 5 new FDA approved drugs—and all this work funded with more than 600 million dollars that’s been raised and well...that’s progress folks! These are the most focused and dedicated human beings I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. Thank you to all the scientists working their a@#*& off to cure cancer and other devastating diseases. Thanks to the @AACR (American Association of Cancer Researchers) for your support and the hardworking staff at @su2c for putting this critically important summit together!

As federal workers return to their jobs tomorrow, perhaps we now have a greater appreciation of what these public servants do. In his book, The Fifth Risk, Michael Lewis celebrated the role they play in keeping our country going. When the book came out we talked to him on our podcast and I think our conversation is even more timely now. I for one, would like to thank you all and I hope your lives can return to normal as soon as possible. ❤️ (The Obamas optioned the book as one of their first projects on Netflix!)

As you’ve probably read by now, Roger Stone, a longtime informal advisor to President Trump was arrested yesterday at his home in Ft Lauderdale “by FBI agents wearing ballistic vests with their guns drawn” and charged with seven criminal counts, including one count of obstruction, five counts of false statements, and one count of witness-tampering. It’s the Mueller team’s first indictment in months and the clearest evidence to date of the Trump campaign’s alleged attempts to cooperate with WikiLeaks during the 2016 election in the effort to damage Hillary Clinton's campaign. Stone, a larger-than life figure and self-described “dirty trickster,” has been a mainstay in Republican politics since starting out as an aide in Richard Nixon’s 1972 reelection campaign. Stone flashed the Nixonian double-V sign and proclaimed his innocence yesterday outside the courthouse as both fans and critics looked on, proclaiming: “As I have said previously, there is no circumstance whatsoever under which I will bear false witness against the president, nor will I make up lies to ease the pressure on myself." If you want to get a glimpse inside the mind of this man heres a quick look at Stone from the 2017 @netflix documentary "Get Me Roger Stone" By the way while we’re talking politics I read something stunning in the @nytimes today: According to an anaysis by Standard and Poor’s ,the 5 week government shutdown cost the economy 6 BILLION dollars, more than the 5.7 billion the President was asking for the wall! 😐#rogerstone #getmerogerstone #news #mueller #trump #politics #thebigstory

I wanted to introduce a new feature I’ll be doing on my ‘gram called #thegoodguys which will highlight boys and men who are living examples of what a good guy looks like in today's society. First up, @orjanburoe, the father that has gone viral for dancing in matching Frozen costumes with his 4-year-old son Dexter. To Dexter, “Elsa from Frozen is a superhero” so Orjan went on eBay and bought two Elsa dresses so that he and Dexter could play dress up. He hopes the video teaches a valuable lesson because “it’s important to teach children you can do whatever you want to. Just let it go and be yourself.” And why not teach him that some super heroes wear dresses?! ☺️Tell me about some of the good guys in your life in the comments below and maybe we’ll pick one! You boys look good in blue! Let it goooo, let it gooooo! PS my favorite part is when Dexter makes his dad pause so he can show him how it’s done! 😄 #friday #friyay #goodguys #father #parenting #feelgoodfriday #feelgood

#Repost @cnbc: It is day 34 of the government shutdown. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers, from the Coast Guard to the National Weather Service, will face another missed payday on Friday, and Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross suggested they get a loan to cover it.⠀ When asked about reports that federal workers are going to homeless shelters to get food amid the shutdown, Ross, who has a net worth of 2.5 billion, said he doesn't "quite understand why" because their backpay is "in effect, federally guaranteed" and they should "be able to get a loan against it." If you would like to share your story of how the government shutdown is impacting your life, DM me and I will be sure to pass along the message to Secretary Ross. #governmentshutdown #wilburross #government #politics #federal #work #workers #homeless #shleters #money #rent #borrow #pay #cnbc ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

To color code or not to color code your books? With apologies to Hamlet, that is my question. After dismissing the practice as “moronic” during my Instagram live tour with the lovely @ariannahuff (I feel the variety of covers and colors presents a certain kind of beauty) my daughter Ellie took issue with my assessment, arguing that it’s more aesthetically pleasing to color code, particularly if you live in a small space. She proceeded to quote @mariekondo claiming it “sparks joy.” Knowing full well there are much more pressing issues, I thought I’d ask you, dear followers, what you think. Because sometimes for your own sanity, it’s nice to debate inconsequential things, just because. ❤️ Okay, take it away! 😊 📚 (don’t say anything unkind about Ellie or I will come and get you!

#TheBigStory: In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court has reinstated President Trump’s ban against transgender individuals enlisting and serving in the military. This means the Pentagon can keep transgender people from enlisting and in some cases, can even kick them out while it works its way through the lower courts. Here’s a quick refresher: President Trump announced on Twitter in 2017 that the US would no longer “accept or allow” transgender Americans to serve in the military citing “tremendous medical costs and disruption.” Six months later, then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis implemented a memorandum that implies 1. If you’re a trans person you cannot enlist in the military 2. If you are already in the military and in the closet and come out as transgender, you will be discharged. 3. If you’re already an out transgender individual in the military, you won’t be discharged but trans advocates say the new guidelines could lead to harassment or discrimination. There are currently over 10,000 transgender individuals on active duty or in reserve forces that could be affected by this decision, which will likely make its way to the Supreme Court. “Today’s decision thrusts this administration’s discriminatory agenda onto a military that clearly doesn’t want it, and does so at the expense of transgender people’s careers and service.” according to the @humanrightscampaign in a statement earlier today. Interesting first person piece in my bio. #news #trans #transrights #supremecourt

My home state of Virginia has the chance to put the ERA over the finish line as the 38th (and final) state needed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. A little refresher: The Equal Rights Amendment is a proposed amendment to the US Constitution stating that civil rights may not be denied on the basis of one’s sex. If ratified, it could impact everything from Title IX to equal pay. It passed the House and Senate on 1972 but never got enough state legislatures to pass it as required. (You can read the whole history of the ERA including reasons why some have opposed it if you Wikipedia it!) Meanwhile, I love this video that @lilibernard6 and her daughter Zion made! Thanks for saying I was a good thing to come out of Virginia. I’m in very good company! 😊😊 Next month, the Virginia House will vote on whether to approve the ERA..fingers crossed! #era #equalrightsamendment #virginia

I had the privilege of visiting him and his extraordinary wife Lonnie at the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center back in 2006. He’d been suffering from Parkinson’s for over 20 years but he was as lively and funny as ever. The Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center offers a wide range of recreational therapies, educational workshops and support groups as well as the best clinical care, research, and rehabilitation for people dealing with Parkinson’s disease. (A disease by the way, that my father dealt with for the last decade of his life.)

According to the @usdagov, more than 50 million Americans regularly don’t have enough to eat while up to 40% of the country’s food supply is wasted. Today’s #WednesdayWoman is working to change that. Maria Rose Belding developed @meansdatabase (while still in high school!) after spending years volunteering in her local food pantry and seeing food go to waste. MEANS is an online database that allows food pantries and kitchens to connect with businesses & corporations that have extra food in order to feed the hungry. MEANS has evolved into a nonprofit run largely by high school and college students that has helped redistribute more than 1.8 million pounds of food since 2015 and has served more than 69 million meals. MEANS has spread to 42 states (including the District of Columbia) in just two years and represents more than 3,000 partner agencies. To learn more about MEANS and the work Maria is doing, check out www.meansdatabase.com 🌟Thank you MRB for being such an awesome role model and helping so many people in need.♥️#wednesdaywomen #wcw #gogirl #seeher

Ten years ago the miracle on the Hudson took place as Sully Sullenberger’s incredible grace under pressure landed his disabled US Airways jet safely, saving the lives of all 155 people on board.  I had the privilege of interviewing him about the incident and he told me he could tell that Canada geese had flown into the engines by the “burnt bird smell.” He then described what happened next. (swipe ⬅️ for the second part of his answer!) Sully, meeting and getting to know you has been such an honor. Those passengers and the entire country continue to be in your debt. I will never forget when you told me: “One way of looking at this might be that for 42 years, I’ve been making small, regular deposits in this bank of experience, education and training And on January 15th, the balance was sufficient so that I could make a very large withdrawal.” What do you guys remember from that day? ✈️ Go to my IG TV to watch the full piece. #truehero #miracleonthehudson #captainsully

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were visiting the town of Birkenhead this week when a little girl named Eliza Morris caught the prince’s eye with a sign that said “Gingers Unite.” Prince Harry stopped and gave Eliza a hug and said “I love this!” ♥️👩🏻‍🦰👨🏻‍🦰 #royals #princeharry #toocute #sweetmoment #gingersunite

Saw the amazing @kerrywashington in @americansonplay on Broadway today and she was incredible! The play, written by writer-turned lawyer-turned playwright @christopherdemosbrown is a harrowing and anxiety producing look at what it means to be black in America through the eyes of an interracial couple worried about the fate of their 18 year old son. It is so powerful and Kerry is on stage 99% of the time. I don’t know how she does it! Bravo you! And while it’s very tense and difficult to watch, I’m so happy these critically important issues are being explored through theatre, movies and television. (Between this remarkable play and @bealestreet -I think that’s the handle!-two crushing, but intensely thought provoking experiences, I had quite a weekend!) #broadway PS a legend was in the audience with us...check out my stories if you want to know who! 😊

Haven’t serenaded you all for awhile so thought I’d play a little rendition of “Ashokan Farewell” which I mentioned in my earlier post about Jay. It’s such a beautiful, evocative and somewhat melancholy tune, and if you want to listen to it in all it’s glory I urge you to watch it performed by Jay Unger and Molly Mason...it’s achingly beautiful. ❤️ Now I just need someone to accompany me on 🎻 and 🎸 and maybe a banjo too! Let’s start an instaband! 😊👍🏼 PS I didn’t color my hair magenta. The weird filter I chose made it match my sweater! 🤓

PARENTAL WARNING! (Now that I’ve gotten your attention...) #fbf to my “randy” conversation with @sirrodstewart from 2012 when he told me the inspiration for his hit song “Maggie May.” At another point during the interview, when he told me he and his wife had a new baby, I must have looked surprised. He then told me, ”There’s still lead in the old pencil, Kate.” PS: Happy 74th bday you old scalawag! PPS: I don’t remember what was bleeped out but do remember it made the audience (and me) blush! 😳#foreveryoung #rodstewart #friday #flashbackfriday

This is so upsetting. A video of Dick Arnold and Rob McBride, two men from Menindee, Australia, holding the carcasses of 100-year-old Murray cod that had died in the Darling River in New South Wales, has gone viral on Facebook, gaining more than 4.4 million views. Hundreds of thousands of fish, including the critically endangered Murray cod, were found dead along a stretch of the river this week. This is the second mass death of fish in the Darling River in two months. An estimated 10,000 fish died in December in an incident local officials said was due to the drought. Officials say the mass death this week was caused by a toxic algae bloom, however, Arnold, McBride and other residents say the environmental disaster was man-made and due to the government’s mismanagement of water flows into the system.

#BreakingNews: Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal lawyer has agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Feburary 7th to give “a full and credible account” of his work for President Trump. It’s the first major move by the newly controlled Democratic House to deliver on their pledge to pursue investigations of the President and his inner circle. House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings stated: “He’ll have the chance to tell his side of the story, and we’ll have a chance to question him. The American people deserve that.” In a statement, Mr. Cohen said “In furtherance of my commitment to cooperate and provide the American people with answers, I have accepted the invitation by Chairman Elijah Cummings to appear publicly on February 7th. I look forward to having the privilege of being afforded a platform with which to give a full and credible account of the events which have transpired.” #breakingnews #michaelcohen #potus #trump

“If the soft breeze fans your cheek, it shall be my breath; or the cool air cools your throbbing temples, it shall be my spirit passing by.” - From a letter by Sullivan Ballou to his wife Sarah in 1861. He was 32 and died one week later in the first battle of Bull Run. This was one of Jay’s favorite letters, read to “Ashokan Farewell”(such a beautiful song) in Ken Burn’s Civil War series. Happy Birthday Jay. ❤️❤️❤️ #foreverinourhearts And thank you friends for your sweet, caring comments. ❤️

Since I happen to be at @ces this Wednesday, I wanted to honor an incredibly smart, capable and generous woman (and dear friend of mine) @ariannahuff - who is revolutionizing how we think about technology, sleep, success, and health. At 68, she’s another example of women staying active, vibrant and visible, contributing to the conversation - this one about how to live healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives. In 2016, Arianna left her role as President and Editor in Chief of the @huffpost to start @thrive - a media organization focused on health and wellness. Arianna was inspired to start Thrive Global after she fell and injured herself due to exhaustion and lack of sleep. Thrive Global’s mission is to end the stress and burnout epidemic by offering companies and individuals sustainable, science-based solutions to enhance both well-being and performance. With Thrive Global, Arianna and her team are committed to accelerating the cultural shift that allows people to reclaim their lives and move from merely surviving to thriving.

#OnThisDay in 1978, Harvey Milk became the first openly gay elected official in the US after he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Harvey Milk made significant strides while serving on the Board of Supervisors for gay rights and equality - during a time when there was a lot of homophobic rhetoric and discrimination against the gay community. Sadly, on November 27th, 1978, just 11 months after he was elected, Milk was assassinated by a former colleague, Dan White. Harvey Milk is remembered for his positivity, nonviolent approach to change and his significant accomplishments for the gay community. #harveymilk #gayrights #gayhistory #onthisday #history #tuesday

#BreakingNews: Tennessee @governorbillhaslam has ordered an early release for Cyntoia Brown In 2004, 16 year old Cyntoia shot and killed a man who had solicited sex from her while she was working as a teenage prostitute. Brown claims she did this because she was scared to return empty-handed to her pimp. Brown’s supporters have said she acted in self-defense when she killed a man who paid to have sex with her, describing her as a victim of human trafficking who was preyed upon when she was homeless. Since Brown’s conviction, juvenile sentencing guidelines in Tennessee have been amended, and if she were to be tried today, she would have been viewed as a child sex slave and victim instead of a criminal. In a statement, Governor Haslam said “This is a tragic and complex case. Cyntoia committed by her own admission, a horrific crime at the age of 16. Yet, imposing a life sentence on a juvenile that would require her to serve at least 51 years before even being eligible for parole consideration is too harsh, especially in light of the extraordinary steps Ms. Brown has taken to rebuild her life. Transformation should be accompanied by hope. So, I am commuting Ms. Brown’s sentence, subject to certain conditions.” She will be released on parole on August 7th after serving 15 years in prison. #cyntoiabrown #news #tennessee #billhaslam #justice #prisonreform

This is Emma Grace Findley and her mother Kari Rhinehart. Emma Grace died in 2014 when she was 13 of glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer. Kari and Emma Grace were featured in an article in the @nytimes over the holidays and I wanted to learn more about them and their story. They are not alone. Since 2008, there have been at least 58 cases of childhood cancer, ranging from Ewing’s sarcoma (a rare bone cancer) to lymphocytic leukemia (at least 15 cases have been reported) in Johnson County, Indiana. There is real concern that this high incidence of childhood cancers can be linked to an old factory that discharged industrial wastewater into a municipal sewer that released harmful chemicals like trichloroethylene (TCE) into the air. TCE, by the way, is a chemical used by as many as four-fifths of the nation's 65,000 dry cleaners as well as about 2,200 factories and other facilities. The Trump administration has indefinitely postponed the proposed bans on risky uses of TCE, leaving as many as 178,000 workers potentially exposed. Dozens of concerned parents have called for a federal investigation of the Environmental Protection Agency by it’s office of the Inspector General into why Johnson County's toxic levels of TCE persists. I will be talking to Kari Rhinehart and Stacie Davidson, two moms who are taking action and want to make sure children across the country are protected. Tune in at 7:30 EST tonight for our conversation on Instagram LIVE. I look forward to hearing your questions and comments. Join me for this important story! #interview #instagramlive

Happy birthday to sweet (😆) Caroline born on this day in 1996 as the biggest snowstorm in 48 years (!) came down on NYC which would dump more than 26 inches of snow in Central Park! You really know how to make an entrance! Here’s a look at a few of the highlights of the past 23 years-could only fit 10 so it was hard! I am so proud of the woman you’ve become-your wit, intellect, humanity, complexity and compassion. Despite the forecast on the day you were born, and the sometimes stormy conditions since (anyone out there have teenage girls-you know what I’m talking about!) you are the sunshine of my life. ☀️(Get it? I’m doing a little weather riff #Alroker style!) Corny, but true. Happy Birthday Carrie Monahan! ❤️🍾🎂💃🏻😘 #capricornsrock #sunrisesunset

If you haven’t heard, earlier this week Jazmine Barnes, an innocent 7-year-old was shot and killed by an unidentified light skinned male (according to eyewitnesses) when she was sitting in the car with her mother near a Houston @Walmart. Jazmine was shot in the head and her mother was wounded and is in the hospital. The murderer is still at large. Jazmine loved playing dress up and wearing her mom’s heels. She dreamed of being a teacher. @ShaunKing is working with Jazmine’s family and has raised a $75,000 reward for any information that can help find the man who did this. @CNN spoke with Jazmine’s mother, and her understandable anguish is just gut wrenching. (you can watch the interview in full in the link in my bio.) Please reshare and follow @shaunking for more updates and email him at [email protected] if you have any information. Such a senseless murder and so infuriating. I hope social media can help find the perpetrator. 💔#justiceforjazminebarnes

Today is a historic day on Capitol Hill! The new freshman class of Congress (the most diverse yet!) will be sworn in at noon. (@cspan will be live streaming the ceremony) No other Congress has ever looked like this - a record-breaking number of women, including the first Muslim and Native American and openly LGBTQ representatives, will be sworn in today. The party breakdown in the new House of Representatives will be 235 Democrats and 199 Republicans and in the Senate, there will be 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats. Other notable highlights: 🔹The youngest woman ever elected to Congress will be sworn in today, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York who is 29 years old 🔹Republican Marsha Blackburn will be the first female senator from Tennessee 🔹Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith made history by becoming the first woman elected to Congress from Mississippi 🔹Democrat Krysten Sinema became the first female senator elected to represent Arizona & is also the first openly bisexual senator 🔹The state of Texas is sending its first Latina representatives to Congress with Veronica Escobar and Sylvia Garcia. 🔹Ayanna Pressley will be the first black congresswoman to represent Massachusettes 🔹Jahana Hayes will be the first black congresswoman from Connecticut #congress #swearinginceremony #firstday #history #washingtondc #capitolhill #politics #goladies

In honor of tomorrow’s swearing-in ceremony, I wanted to highlight @laurenaunderwood for today’s #WednesdayWomen. Lauren is the congresswoman-elect from Illinois’ 14th district, and at 32 years old will be one of the youngest members of Congress. She defeated four-term incumbent Randy Hultgren, who only two years earlier won his race by a 19 point margin. Lauren is a registered nurse and served as an advisor to the Department of Health and Human Services under the Obama Administration. Lauren was inspired to run for Congress after attending one of Randy Hultgren’s town halls where he promised he would only support a repeal of Obamacare if it included protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Hultgren later voted for a repeal bill that DID NOT include these protections. As a nurse and a woman with a pre-existing heart condition, Underwood made the decision to run against Hultgren, and despite predictions she would lose, won by a 5 point margin. Before the midterms, women had never held more than 84 of the 435 seats in the House. With 36 new women winning House seats, come January 3rd, that number has increased to 118! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 43 are women of color, and at least 3 are LGBTQ. We still need more women in office, but hey, it’s a start and I’m thrilled for this incoming class! 💪🏼💥Hopefully they will GET s*$# DONE! #firstday #wednesdaywomen #womengetitdone #congresswoman #politics #dc #wcw #nursesaremyheroes

If you want to reflect on the past year, look at the moments you’ve preserved on your phone.and you’ll probably be amazed at everything that’s happened in 365 days! The people you’ve loved, laughed with and cried with. (I know this is ending with a preposition but the other way sounded too weirdly formal) Some of the places you’ve traveled or the life changing events you’ve experienced closer to home. The milestones you’ve observed, the challenges you’ve faced and may continue to face in the new year. Here are some of the pictures you appreciate from me in 2018. Every one tells a story on its own of course, but together form a tapestry of a year that had everything-sorrow, joy, generosity, anger, frustration, courage, patriotism and love. Here’s to making new memories in the new year and while it’s been a trying, exhausting 12 months on so many levels, take a moment to appreciate the good things that happened in 2018. I’m grateful for all of you. ❤️❤️❤️#happynewyear #2018bestnine 🍾🎉🎊

2018 was quite the year. We witnessed natural disasters in the form of wildfires, tsunamis, and hurricanes. We saw mass shootings in schools and places of worship, new waves of the “Me Too” movement, attacks on journalism and free speech, and the deaths of prominent world leaders. We also saw examples of hope and activism rise up in times of fear, division and intolerance. Here’s a look at 2018 as told by the stories that defined the year. #2018 #yearinstories #ohwhatayear #topstories

I know this is long, but....here goes! What an incredible treat to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary of my amazing in-laws Herb and Paula Molner. They met in December of 1957 at an engagement brunch for mutual friends. Herby was immediately smitten and said Paula (a senior at @northwesternu where Herb had graduated a few years before) was clearly “a cut above.” Not to mention brilliant and beautiful! Paula found Herby “too friendly” and “a bit presumptuous” and as they say in modern day parlance was just not that into him. But he persisted and when she didn’t call him back, he showed up at her sorority house unannounced , took her to coffee and started to wear her down. On their first official date in January, over duck a l’orange at a French cafe on Lincoln Park West, they discussed what they would name their children, so I guess Herby was pretty convincing! Paula says she was attracted to his ease, spontaneity and joy. “He’s overstated, I’m understated,” she told me. (I’m getting a little verklempt writing this!) By March they were engaged and the following December they were married. I asked them the secret to a long and happy marriage, and they both said it was important to know how to be together and how to be independent. To appreciate what you share and what you don’t. As Herb told me: one plus one equals three. You, your partner and the things you love together. As I said in a poem I wrote for the occasion, “They found each other without losing themselves.” They are two of the most interesting people I know...both love art, travel, ideas and a remarkable collection of friends they’ve met along the way. As I said at the end of my little poem,”We do love John madly, fake news that is not, but with Herby and Paula we hit the jackpot!” Ellie, Carrie and I feel so lucky to know all the Molners, but especially these two extraordinary people who immediately made us feel not just comfortable, not just welcome, but truly loved. Congratulations you two crazy ki

On Wednesday morning, President Trump and Mrs. Trump visited American troops in Iraq. This is the first time in Mr. Trump's nearly two years as President that he's gone abroad to visit members of the military. This secret trip came at a less than ideal time - the government is currently shut down, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has resigned, and less than a week ago, Mr. Trump announced plans to withdraw all American troops from Syria and half from Afghanistan. Mr. Trump addressed the troops in Iraq saying "We're no longer the suckers, folks. Our presence in Syria was not open-ended, and it was never intended to be permanent. Eight years ago, we went there for three months, and we never left. We're spread out all over the world, we're in countries that most people have never even heard about and frankly, it's ridiculous."

For today’s #WednesdayWomen, I wanted you all to know more about the woman who started @thistlefarms - the company I featured for one of the #giftsthatgiveback series! Reverend @beccastevens is an author, speaker, priest, social entrepreneur, founder, and president of @thistlefarms. She opened Thistle Farms first recovery home in 1997. Her vision was to create a community where women could heal from years of trafficking, addiction, prostitution and the violence of life on the streets. She quickly realized providing a safe space for women to heal wasn’t enough - these women needed a way to become financially self sufficient. So Becca and the residents started making candles and body balms in a church kitchen to help the survivors gain work experience and a steady income. Twenty one years later, @thistlefarms has evolved into a full fledged business that employs over 1,300 women worldwide. Their housing program has space for 210 women to heal and 82% of survivors in their program remain sober. How awesome is Becca? To learn more about @thistlefarms work, or to get some of their delicious body balms + candles go to www.thistlefarms.org 😊♥️ #wcw #wednesday #amazingwomen

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent surgery in New York today to have two cancerous nodules removed from her left lung. There is no evidence of any remaining disease elsewhere in her body. Wishing her a speedy recovery! #breakingnews #ruthbaderginsburg 🔹UPDATE: Justice Ginsburg voted from her hospital bed to refuse to let the government enforce President Trump’s proposed restriction on asylum. The court voted 5-4 to leave a lower court ruling in place that blocks enforcement of the crackdown.

The group of doctors, residents and nurses cheered for Obama before busting into an impromptu rendition of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” (Photos courtesy of the Personal Office of President Barack Obama)

Today, our #wednesdaywoman is actually a girl! I’d like to introduce you all to 11 year old Emma Lewis. Emma’s dad, Dr. Mark Lewis is a Director of GI Oncology in Salt Lake City and sent me this letter Emma wrote to Santa after visiting his oncology clinic. I was so moved by her thoughtfulness (what, NO presents?) and think this truly captures the spirit of the holiday season. Something tells me Santa will appreciate Emma’s kindness and empathy on Christmas morning. ♥️🎄🥰 #wednesday #heartwarming #wednesdaywomen #letterstosanta #happyholidays #love #grownupchristmaslist (Swipe left to see Emma’s sweet face!)

Let’s celebrate the one and only Penny Marshall who died yesterday at the age of 75. When you think about it, Penny helped shape our views re: working women as the hilarious Laverne DeFazio on Laverne & Shirley. (“Give us any chance we’ll take it, give us any rule we’ll break it...we’re gonna make our dreams come true...”) She was not only an icon on the small screen, but was also a trailblazer for women directors. The first film she directed was Jumpin’ Jack Flash starring Whoopi Goldberg - and she went on to direct classics like Big, Awakenings (which became the second ever Best Picture nominee directed by a woman!!) Riding in Cars with Boys, and A League of Their Own. Thank you for all the laughs, Penny. And for all your incredible work. And for breaking barriers. We’ll miss you.♥️#restinpeace #pennymarshall #nothinsgonnaturnusbacknow

I am completely starstruck in the midst of these powerhouse women! 🔹@laurenaunderwood is the newly elected congresswoman for Illinois’s 14th Congressional District. She is also a registered nurse and was formerly a senior advisor at the US Department of Health and Human Services. 🔹@drleanawen is the new president of @plannedparenthood. She is a former emergency physician and also served as the health commissioner for Baltimore City. Dr. Leana is also the author of the book “When Doctors Don’t Listen: How to Avoid Misdiagnoses and Unnecessary Tests” which is all about teaching patients how to advocate for themselves. 🔹@mikiesherrill is the newly elected congresswoman for New Jersey’s 11th District. She is a former federal prosecutor and US Navy helicopter pilot. If this doesn’t show the world is changing I don’t know what does! It was cool to be in their presence to say the least!

My beautiful friend, Jenifer Estess died 15 years ago today of ALS. She was 40 years old. She was talented, vibrant, hilarious and an all around spectacular human being. She was the founder of @nakedangelsnyc a Manhattan theatre company that included legendary performers like @sarahjessicaparker @benstiller @marissatomei_id among others. Jenifer was told she had ALS when she was 35 and to “max out her credit cards.” That was unacceptable, so Jenifer, along with her extraordinary sisters, Valerie and Meredith started @projectals to support critical research for ALS (which will benefit patients with a whole host of neurological diseases as well.) 93 million dollars later, @projectals continues to work tirelessly to find new drugs that will slow the progress of this horrific and cruel disease and one day (hopefully🙏🏻) cure it altogether. I was honored to write the forward of Valerie’s book #talesfromthebed and am grateful to call the Estess sisters my friends. Today we celebrated Jenifer with her favorite #barneygreengrass delicacies and wished she were there. I miss her and will honor her by supporting the great work of @projectals If you’re interested in learning more about the exciting science this organization is funding you can visit projectals.org ❤️❤️❤️ #projectals #weloveyoujenifer

Good morning! I slept 10 hours (from 7pm to 5 am) and woke up raring to go! This week I’m going to post some ideas for gifts that give back and I love this one! @thistlefarms based in #nashville is a “globally minded social enterprise led by women survivors of trafficking, prostitution and addiction” that offers “hope and healing through sanctuary, community and employment.” Every purchase directly benefits the women who make these handcrafted natural body and home products.

My heart breaks all year long for these beautiful children and their families, but especially on this day every year. I am sending a special hug to my friends Mark and Jackie Barden who started @sandyhookpromise to help prevent these tragedies from happening to other families in schools across the country. They also participated in a documentary I executive produced about gun violence called Under the Gun on @epix which illuminated the history of gun violence in this country and tells the personal stories of those who have lost loved ones in this most senseless and violent way. The Bardens’ strength and courage inspire me every day. Please hold them and all the victims of gun violence In your hearts. 💙 #sandyhook #restinpeace #remembertheirnames and yes! Please join @momsdemand @everytown or @[email protected] to fight for sensible gun laws!

“I blame myself for the conduct which has brought me here today, and it was my own weakness and a blind loyalty to this man that led me to choose a path of darkness over light. Time and time again I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds rather than to listen to my own inner voice and my moral compass.” Michael Cohen, former lawyer for President Trump was just sentenced to three years in prison for pleading guilty to crimes committed in New York, and two months for lying to Congress. He was also asked to pay nearly $2 million in fines, forfeitures and restitution. 🔹Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the duration of negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, as well as the extent to which Trump was involved. 🔹Cohen also pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, tax evasion and making false statements to a financial institution. 🔹Cohen also admitted in court he had arranged payments “for the principal purpose of influencing the election” for President Trump in 2016. #breakingnews #michaelcohen #thebigstory

Not that many 27 year olds can say they were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but today’s #WednesdayWoman can!! #VERYIMPRESSIVE. @amandangocnguyen, the founder of the non profit organization @risenow.us, is working tirelessly to pass a Sexual Assault Survivor Bill Of Rights in all fifty states - 14 states have passed it so far. A survivor of sexual assault herself, she is fighting to protect other victims across the country by making sure rape kits - which contain critical evidence - are not destroyed and that rape survivors have access to their medical information and are not required to pay for evidence collection. (Not even convicted criminals have to do that.) Amanda was raped in 2013 when she was an undergraduate at Harvard but chose not to press charges upon learning that there was a 15 year statute of limitations for prosecuting the crime in Massachusetts. But after she discovered the state destroyed rape kits after six months, she lobbied the Massachusetts legislature to change the law - and she succeeded. “It’s called secondary trauma when a criminal justice system is meant to protect survivors but instead it hurts them and re-traumatizes them. A lot of people tell survivors to go to the criminal justice system..but I was met with a Kafkaesque system that was a labyrinth for me to figure out why my evidence was being destroyed and why that deadline even existed in the first place.” She calls this a civil rights issue because “other crimes aren’t treated this way. For instance, murder - a class A felony, just like rape - the evidence is never destroyed. That’s how you solve cold cases in murders.” Amanda, thank you for turning your trauma into transformative change. You inspire me. (And I discovered you on Instagram - so cool!)

Happy #monday everyone! I’m back in NYC and getting into the groove again (albeit I’m moving a bit slowly thanks to the jet lag 🤪)Today’s #mondaymotivation comes from Grace Hopper, a pioneer computer scientist and Navy Admiral, basically an all-around badass! 😊And now her name graces (get it?) one of the colleges (or buildings/dormitories) at Yale, It used to be known as Calhoun College, named after Yale alumnus and former Vice President, John C. Calhoun. Calhoun was the most “strident articulator” of slavery as a positive good - for both slave holders and slaves. After an outcry on campus- spearheaded by then student, now Yale alum @daijmoore Calhoun College was officially renamed Grace Hopper College last year. And now Dasia is joining our team at KCM (Katie Couric Media-how original!) yay!

Day 12 of our India adventure brought us to another incredible series of caves, more ancient than #elloracaves in Aurangabad. This is cave #10 of the #ajantacaves and was made in...wait for it...200 BC! There are more than 30 caves here, chiseled from the massive basaltic rock and many contain paintings that are preserved and convey what life was like back in the day. Blue paint made from lapis, white from limestone, red from ocre, green from plants, black from soot—you get the picture. This cave houses a massive stupa, the symbol used before Buddha was deified. In 1819, an English officer named John Smith, who was leading a hunting expedition witnessed a tiger entering a small opening which led to the discovery of the caves. Built between 200 BC and the 5th century AD, it was thrilling walking through these caves. @johnmolner is completely making fun of me telling you all this so I will stop now. We ❤️’d India and the people of this transcendent country. I will put a few shots of the interior of the caves and some of the paintings and details on stories! Thanks for taking the journey with us!

I was covering the events in Charlottesville on August 11, 2017 when 32 year old Heather Heyer, a paralegal and civil rights activist was murdered after 21 year old James Alex Fields plowed into a crowd of peaceful protesters following the so called “Unite the Right” rally. Fields was found guilty on all charges including first degree murder and five counts of aggravated malicious wounding. He was also convicted of 30 federal hate crimes. He could be sentenced to twenty years to life in prison. This is the scene from my my #natgeo series #americainsideout on the raging debate over Confederate statues and iconography that shows what happened that terrible day. I am thinking about Heather’s mom, her friends and the Charlottesville community. #justiceforheather #thisiswhatelookslike #notveryfinepeople #charlottesville

Our final stop on our India adventure was Aurangabad where we visited the #elloracaves and #ajanthacaves which are truly extraordinary. This is Cave 16 or #kailasha cave which was carved by Hindus out of Basaltic volcanic rock during the 8th and 9th centuries. It took 200 years, 7-10 generations and the removal of more than 200,000 TONS of rock! The plans were handed down from generation to generation. This video DOES NOT do the place justice. It is a @unesco site but it deserves to be a wonder of the world! 🌍 The detail and precision of the carvings are wonderful. I will put some close-ups in my stories as well as some shots of a Buddhist Temple and Monastery, built in the 7th and 8th century, respectively. Those caves inspired the Hindus and both faiths inspired the Jains. Do you know about that religion? (For another post!) You cannot believe that people with just hammers, chisels and their imaginations, created this magnificent place 1300 years ago. 🇮🇳🙏🏻 #bucketlist PS John jee is an excellent travel companion! 😊❤️ (whoa I feel like I just spotted Marilyn Monroe’s face in this video...anyone else see it? 😏)

I’m a bit late but it’s still #Wednesday which means that it’s time to highlight another incredible woman for #WednesdayWomen! Meet Gina Clayton-Johnson, founder and executive director of @essie4justice , a non-profit organization of women with incarcerated loved ones who are taking on the injustices created by mass incarceration. The Essie Justice Group brings women together to heal, build collective power, and drive social change. In her first year as a law student at Harvard, a loved one of Gina’s was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. She saw a lack of organizations or groups that addressed criminal justice with a focus on women with incarcerated loved ones, so she started Essie Justice Group (named after her grandmother) in 2014. Together with her team, the Essie Justice Project is organizing women with incarcerated loved ones together to heal and create positive change in a broken system. Today, 2.3 million people are in jail, and incarceration has increased by over 500% in the past forty years. An overlooked effect of mass incarceration is that today an astounding one in four women and nearly one in two Black women has a family member in prison. The sense of loss is painful, acute, and often borne in silence, leading to illness, severe depression, and even suicide. The work Gina is doing is so important - to learn more visit https://essiejusticegroup.org

Both Dole and Bush fought as young men in World War II (Dole was just 21 and Bush was 20!) and Dole competed against Bush not once but twice for the Republican presidential nomination. ❤️💙

Varanasi is one of the most intense places I’ve ever visited. Massive sensory overload in what’s been called “the city of learning and burning.” We visited the #Ganges river first to watch the sun rise and see the flurry of activity on the street (even at 5:45 am!) We returned to the #ganges for a ceremony of Thanksgiving with a sea of humanity on the banks of the river. It’s called the city of light (vs Paris-lightS) and is one of the holiest places in the Hindu religion. People were bathing there to wash away their sins...some were just taking a dip and others were lathering up, while still others were doing their laundry and hitting their clothes against rocks in the river (ergo the term stone washed) Millions of people come here every year including many elderly people who wish to die in this sacred place and be cremated on the holiest ghats (or stairs) to achieve salvation. We saw at least thirty people being cremated the night we visited. When I asked Ajay our guide if he felt it was intrusive and invasive to have people watching from the river he told me death is a celebration and to bear witness is honoring Hinduism. If a woman predeceases her husband, she is dressed in the same sari she was married in. After we observed the cremations, we each lit a small candle surrounded by roses 🌹 in a little cup and said a prayer for people who had died before placing them in the water. I said a prayer for Jay, my sister Emily and my parents. I was so moved that John (yes that’s his first name) told me afterwards he said a prayer for the same people I did. It was beautiful to see the candles all floating on the river, like little stars on a dark, watery sky. The service was remarkable too. Getting home in a rickshaw was harrowing and very, very (!) loud with all the honking cars, motor scooters, pedestrians and cows in the street. I can’t believe there aren’t more accidents here! I will share some of our adventures in my stories tomorrow (so many pictures!) and realiz

“Mission complete.” President George H.W. Bush’s service dog, Sully, named after airline pilot Sully Sullenberger, traveled with Bush’s casket on his flight to DC. Sully went to work with Bush this summer after former First Lady Barbara Bush passed away. Sully can perform a two page list of commands that include answering the phone and fetching important items. He will now go on to serve other veterans at Walter Reed National Military Center. “As much as our family is going to miss this dog, we’re comforted to know he’ll bring the same joy to his new home, Walter Reed, that he brought to 41.” Former President George W. Bush wrote. ❤️💙🇺🇸#remembering41 #restinpeace #sully

This is Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds, a five story tall building with 365 windows where women from the royal court would hang out, gossip and check out the action on the street below. It was built in 1799 but along with other structures, the reigning maharaja painted the town pink to honor the Prince of Wales (Prince Albert Edward, the eldest son of Queen Victoria) when he visited the city in 1876. The King of Jaipur took it a step further and made it illegal for buildings in the old city to be painted any other color than “Jaipur pink” which is really more of a salmon or terra cotta color. The city is an experience in sensory overload...I tried to capture it in stories but you really have to experience it for yourselves! We are now on to Varanasi!

This is such a funny photo. President Bush surprised Mrs. Bush and me when she was giving me a tour of the White House for the @todayshow back in 1992. I started peppering him with questions and my impromptu interview went on for nearly twenty minutes. That’s when Mrs. Bush started checking her watch. By then, Marlin Fitzwater, the WH press secretary had come in and I said “Look, Marlin’s pulling out what’s left of his hair!” Everyone laughed and it cut the tension. President Bush later signed this picture which I have hanging on my wall with a lovely note from him. I will never forget him or this moment. RIP to both of you. ❤️

What a life well lived. A life of honor, integrity and purpose in a time when there was deep respect for the presidency no matter where you stood on the issues.

Just hanging out in this low-key room in the City Palace in Jaipur! The City Palace was built between 1729 to 1732 and has a series of magnificent rooms, this one being the least ornate. (JK!) I’ve been on a self-imposed (well actually Molner-imposed) social media break but I couldn’t take it anymore so I’m going to give you all a little taste of our time in Jaipur on stories today! Known as the Pink City (when it literally painted the town pink when the Prince of Wales visited in 1876) it’s beautiful and vibrant! When candles are lit in this room the reflection looks like a million little stars! The 20 year old King of Jaipur allows tourists to visit parts of the palace (couldn’t see his bedroom!) We’re off to a Hindu temple and then a cooking class (good luck to us) and then I’m going to check out the gem factory. Hope Molner brings his wallet! 😁 Happy Saturday! #jaipur #bucketlist PS sorry for al the !!!!!!s. I’m feeling very enthusiastic!!!!!! I ❤️🇮🇳

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Anchorage, Alaska at 8:29 AM local time. The epicenter of the quake was just north of Anchorage which is home to more than 294,000 people. The extent of the damage the quake caused has not been confirmed but there has been major road damage and fear that the after shocks might trigger a tsunami. “It was terrifying. I mean, we’ve had magnitude fives, sixes - we deal with earthquakes all the time and this was the strongest I’ve ever felt and the most terrifying of my life.” said Samuel Shea, the Science Operations Officer at the National Weather Service in Anchorage. This footage is terrifying...I’m thinking of everyone affected, and hoping that the worst is over. ❤️ 📹: @cnn #anchorage #alaska #earthquake

Since I’m currently in India, I wanted to do a #tbt today in honor of Jackie Kennedy Onassis’s visit to India! She traveled to India in March of 1962 on a goodwill trip at the urging of the US Ambassador to India to help improve relations between the two countries. She was accompanied by her sister, Princess Lee Radziwill Of Poland. Jackie & Lee traveled to New Delhi, Fatehpur, Sikri, the Taj Mahal in Agra (where I currently am!! 😄) Benares, Udaipur, and Jaipur. When asked how her trip had been going, Jackie said “It’s been a dream.” and I couldn’t agree with her more! Enjoy these iconic images! (Although I’m not looking nearly as chic as Jackie and Lee 😅🤪) #india #thursday #tbt #travel #jackiekennedy #kennedyobsession

When I first laid eyes on the Taj Mahal, I was so moved. It took my breath away. (I was surprised by my reaction!) Rudyard Kipling described it as “the embodiment of all things pure” while the poet Tagore called it “a teardrop on the cheek of eternity.” Emperor Shah Jahan built it to honor his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth to their 14th (!) child in 1631. The entire complex took 22 years to complete and 20,000 people worked on it using semi translucent white marble carved with flowers and inlaid with thousands of semi-precious stones. (Thank you @lonelyplanet😊) Shah Jahan, who supposedly turned gray overnight he was so distraught, said the Taj Mahal made “the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.” He had a sad end to his life (see previous post) but is now buried next to his wife (thanks to his daughter and not that awful son!) Meanwhile, wives one and two are buried nearby in two separate domes. Guess he wasn’t that into them! 😳 Meanwhile, I found out that kissing in public is frowned upon AFTER we took this photo, so I apologize! ( I’m really not into PDA, but what can I say? I told you I was moved!) I will post some more of our TWO visits here but don’t want to overwhelm you all! Meanwhile as I write this, I’m having tea in Jaipur at the most amazing place! I love 🇮🇳! 😘 #bucketlist

I may be far away in India, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about #WednesdayWomen! Today, I’m shining a light on the beautiful and brilliant @mamacaxx. At the age of 14, Cax was diagnosed with bone and lung cancer and was given just three weeks to live. She went on to beat her cancer, but lost her right leg as a result. Now, Cax uses her platform to bring attention to the need for inclusivity in fashion, body positivity, and to dismantle the perceived image society has of what people with disabilities look like. She owns who she is by incorporating bold colors and bright patterns on her prosthesis. “When I first started blogging, a lot of women amputees were messaging me about how they’d never seen an amputee on social media or anywhere else showing their prosthetics. I think it’s so important to show people who have physical disabilities because there are a lot of people out there who have physical disabilities who buy products and who never see themselves represented in any way, shape, or form.” I had the pleasure of speaking with Cax at the @glblctzn summit earlier this year and I was so impressed by her uplifting positivity!! Keep shining Cax!🤩❤️🤩 #wednesday #wcw #bodypositive #inspiration

Hi everyone from Agra! We’ve had an amazing day here so far and we haven’t even been to the Taj Mahal yet! This was taken at Agra Fort, a huge, expansive place that’s considered one of the finest Mughal forts in all of India. It goes on forever! Construction began in 1565 by emperor Akbar (he’s got a crazy family tree...that’s a whole other story!) and his grandson, Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal added to it using his favorite white marble. (His power hungry son Aurangzeb ended up imprisoning his dad for eight years AFTER killing his three older brothers...nice guy huh? 😳) Aurangzeb ruled India for 49 years but I hope he had a guilty conscience because he sounds like a real jerk! I loved this place! I’m going to give you more info in stories but I love this photo of Molner and felt it was definitely insta-worthy! Off to the the Taj Mahal! More later in this space! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇮🇳🙏🏻 PS @lynseyaddario what do you think??? 😊

I’ve never traveled to where we’re going and I’m so excited! Any guesses? (To my friends who know you can’t guess!)

Took my in-laws to see the extraordinary Elaine May in @waverlygallerybway and we were blown away. Elaine (a national treasure) Joan Allen (one of my favorites ❤️) @lucasshedges (who is crushing it) Michael Cera (who I’ve loved since Juno) and David Croner (from Billions among other things) were all spectacular. It’s about growing old, senility and responsibility and although it doesn’t sounds like a “feel good” show, it’s both harrowing and hilarious. Playwright Kenneth Lonergan has such a gift for creating dialogue that’s so believable, so true, you feel as if you’re eves dropping on an actual conversation. Elaine was psyched to meet a fellow Chicagoan and delighted his name was Herb, like her late husband in the show. This is my first theatre review on Instagram! So grateful to live in NYC where great theatre is a cab ride away! #I❤️NY #broadwaybound PS how cute is Herby? PPS let me know if you’ve seen a play you’ve loved recently! 😊

Tomorrow is the 55th anniversary of JFK’s assassination, but instead of commemorating his death, I wanted to celebrate his life with some wonderful photographs that remind us of the days of Camelot. Fun fact - the Kennedys became associated with Camelot after JFK’s death. Jackie Kennedy took it upon herself to make sure her husbands legacy endured - so just four days after JFK’s burial, Jackie invited a Life magazine reporter to the White House and told wonderful tales about her husband’s first 1,000 days in office. She was inspired by JFK’s favorite Broadway musical - Camelot - a story about a mythical world ruled by King Arthur where goodness reigned supreme. “Don’t let it be forgot, that for one brief, shining moment there was Camelot.” ☺️ PS: I could spend all day looking at photos of the Kennedys, couldn’t you?! #jfk #jackiekennedy #kennedy #jfkassassination #rip #love. PS I remember when I heard the news. I was in first grade watching a show about animals. Mrs. Myers rushed in and whispered something to Mrs. Lowry, my teacher and they started to cry. They let us out early and we watched the funeral on our black and white TV set. 😥

Today’s #WednesdayWoman is Leslie Carrara-Rudolph aka Abby Cadabby!! She is a phenomenal puppeteer and an incredible human being. She visited the kindergartners at Harlem Village Academies this month and they were mesmerized. She’s played characters on @sesamestreet for the past 12 years - and has most recently been playing Abby Cadabby, a 4 year old fairy whose magical powers include popping in and out of thin air, floating when she’s happy, and turning things into pumpkins 🧚🏼‍♀️🎃 Leslie clearly has a magical touch with the children she meets. She really makes Abby come to life, and the kids forget that Leslie is even there! I’m on the board of the Harlem Village Academies, and whenever I visit the students and teachers there it gives me such joy. I was happy to bring Abby and return the favor. “I have been through and have witnessed how the arts can change people’s lives in a way that helps them overcome challenges and also shines a light on their truth. My life is dedicated to championing individuality through the arts. I have written several shows that are geared to helping kids navigate life creatively and help them to love themselves and become warriors for the underdog.” #inspiration #love #sesamestreet #women #wednesday

David Cassidy died one year ago today at the age of 67. My teenage heartthrob faced a lot of challenges in his life and relationships. I was always struck by his final words which are an important reminder for all of us: “So much wasted time.” Don’t lose sight of the big picture, hold on to hate and anger and waste time on the things that don’t really matter. ❤️

🌟ON THIS DAY🌟155 years ago, President Abraham Lincoln addressed a large crowd at the Gettysburg National Cemetery - the site of one of the bloodiest and decisive battles of the Civil War. He only spoke for 2 minutes; his speech was only 10 sentences long. Yet it became one of the most powerful and widely remembered speeches in our nations history. "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." #history #onthisday #lincoln #civilwar #gettysburg. PS Thank you Jeff Daniels!

Repost from @nymag: Stan Lee, legendary publisher, editor and writer of @marvel comics has died at the age of 95. He was responsible for creating and co-creating iconic characters Black Panther, Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk and countless others. “I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain, you’re doing a good thing.” But back in 1968 he also said this: “Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the nation today.” #rip #stanlee

Scenes from the #californiawildfires taken by Ringo HW Chiu for the Associated Press. These images capture scenes from the destruction of Camp Fire, Woolsey Fire, and Hill Fire. Camp Fire has killed at least nine people in Paradise, CA and destroyed 6,453 structures. The Woolsey Fire has displaced over 200,000 people in Ventura County and Malibu. Hill Fire is burning near Thousand Oaks, where the Borderline mass shooting took place. The fire started Thursday and spread quickly, torching 10,000 acres in just six hours. I’m thinking of all those affected and the incredible firefighters who are working to contain the fires.

Oh and this young man Friday night! He is another national treasure. Loved being with my friend @scotthamilton84 at the #buyingtime benefit, an event started by our friends Dave and Clare Butler, truly remarkable people, in honor of Dave’s brother Dan who died of colon cancer when he was just 42. (like Jay...) Scott, who has had a very difficult journey—he’s been diagnosed with cancer three times—was so inspiring. He’s such a funny, lovely, charming guy! And at the spur of the moment I auctioned myself and @espnhannahstorm off for dinner...and we raised $50,000 for colon cancer research! #yay #goodpeople #thereishopeintheworld (yikes I need a better filter on this.

🚨PART 2🚨 •Currently, 18 states plus Washington DC have addressed this loophole by requiring waiting periods or similar measures. •States with the strictest gun laws like California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York have among the lowest rates of gun-related deaths. •Only 8 states have banned automatic weapons. •Legislation in California banned possession of large-capacity magazines through proposition 63 in 2016 but the NRA has held up implementation by challenging it in court, and the Thousand Oaks shooter used one, thanks for NRA interference in voter will. •Americans make up just over 4 percent of the global population, but own 42 percent of guns worldwide. •The United States has the weakest gun laws in the developed world. •After mass shootings in Britain and Australia, (31 and 22 years ago respectively) sweeping regulations followed which significantly reduced gun violence. •While mass shootings get the most amount of attention, nearly two-thirds of all gun deaths in the US are suicides: an average of 59 deaths a day. •Over the past decade, the US firearm suicide rate has increased by 19%. •States with the highest rates of gun ownership have four times as many suicides involving a firearm which is almost always lethal. (People who attempt suicide through other means are often unsuccessful and get help) •While mental illness is a problem and can contribute to suicides and mass shootings, experts believe that it is the easy access to firearms that sets the U.S. apart; while mental illness exists in other countries, the number of deaths from gun violence per capita is dramatically higher in the U.S. #guncontrol

I love my Instagram followers and know many of you are reeling from the most recent mass shooting in Thousand Oaks, California. I wanted to make sure you (and I!) had accurate information about gun violence in America, so I reached out to Robyn Thomas, the Executive Director at the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. I hope the information below is useful as we continue to grapple with how to reduce the number of people who are killed by gun violence every day (an average of 96 a day) I am interested in working together to reduce gun violence and to spare the lives of those who were massacred simply trying to enjoy a night of line dancing and fun. I really believe if we work together, we can come up with some solutions that the majority of Americans can support. •There have been 307 mass shootings in the US so far this year. That is almost one per day. •A mass shooting is defined as “an incident in which four or more people are shot, not including the shooter.” •Children and teens in America are 17 times more likely to be killed with a firearm than young people in other developed countries. •Federal law requires federally licensed firearms dealers to do background checks and maintain records of all gun sales. The problem is a huge number of guns are purchased NOT from federally licensed firearms dealers but from private dealers, gun shows and online, where no background checks are required. •While 18 states have expanded the federal law to ensure background checks are done on ALL gun sales, 32 states HAVE NOT. •Researchers have found that states that require background checks on ALL gun sales have less than half as many mass shooting incidents (52% fewer) as states without that background check requirement. •90% of the American public supports background checks for all gun sales. •74% of NRA members support background checks for all gun sales. •There is no federal waiting period for purchasing guns. Federal law allows a dealer to deliver a gun to a purchase

California has been through so much this week. Now, three fires, Camp Fire, Hill Fire, and Woolsey Fire are currently burning through Northern California and around Ventura County and Malibu at an alarming rate. The Camp Fire burned 70,000 acres in just 24 hours. Part of the reason these fires are spreading so fast is because there is also a downslope windstorm coming from the east off the crest of the Sierra Nevada. It’s terrifying and heartbreaking. 9 people have died in the fires, and countless homes and business have been lost. As I post this, the fires have only been 5% contained. Authorities estimate they won’t be fully contained until November 30th. Two of these fires are just a few miles from Thousand Oaks, where the mass shooting took place on Wednesday. I’m thinking of all those affected, and the brave firefighters who are working tirelessly to put these fires out. Please stay safe. If you have images or videos you’d like to share, DM me and I’ll repost to spread awareness. 🙏🏻❤️ #campfire #thousandoaks #californiawildfires #staysafe

I received news of gunfire at Borderline Bar & Grill from a friend. Which was where my brother was hanging out for the night. Me, my dad and mom raced to the scene. Or as close as we could get. We tried for hours and hours to get in touch with Blake and got no response. At 12 this morning, I was informed that my amazing brother was taken down by the shooter as well as his good friend Jake Dunham.

What a perfect #wednesday for #WednesdayWomen to fall on! The 2018 #midterms showed a record breaking number of women running for and getting elected to public office - 273 women representing both parties were on the ballot in the 2018 midterm elections. More women will be serving in Congress than ever before, and we are seeing many firsts; first female governors, first LGBTQ representatives, first African American, Native American, Muslim and Latina representatives - the list goes on and on! While there is still a ways to go, I wanted to celebrate all the women who made history last night - I’m feeling very proud & inspired! 💪🏼💥 #women #womenempowerment #elections #congress

I will never forget covering the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. My team and I went to Port-au-Prince to cover the horrific destruction for the @cbs Evening News. We stopped by a makeshift hospital tent that was set up by volunteer doctors and nurses from Belgium and that was where I met Larousse Pierre, a 13 year old boy who lost his mother in the earthquake. (His father had died when he was younger) He had a broken leg, and the doctors were trying to reset it without any anesthesia or medicine for the pain. This video is hard to watch, even eight years later, but it does get better. I couldn’t stop thinking about Larousse after I left Haiti, so I reached out to my friend Jane Aronson, who is the CEO and founder of @wworphans - an organization whose mission is to transform the lives of orphaned children through programs that address the medical and developmental conditions of children living abroad. Jane was able to find Larousse and get him healed and healthy and into school. He will graduate in three years and hopes to become a civil engineer and a social worker to help other children in need. Tonight, I will see Larousse for the first time in 8 years at the Worldwide Orphans Gala and I could not be more excited. I will share pictures with you all later in the evening! ❤️

Now that I’ve gotten your attention...good morning everyone! This is the percentage of people who vote in midterm elections. Less than half! How crazy is that? We. Are. Better. Than. This. Please exercise your right and civic responsibility and vote on Tuesday. It’s important and some places give you a sticker which I like to wear afterwards or put on my phone. As Franklin D. Roosevelt said: “Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President or Senators or Congressmen or government officials but the voters of this country.” So vote and bring a friend and make sure everyone you know is doing the same! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸😘 PS Tell me where you plan to vote! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and take a picture of yourself voting and I will do a montage of them on Wednesday!

Good morning everyone. I went to a Washington DC last week to join so many people in saying goodbye to Matthew Shepard as his ashes were finally interred in the Washington National Cathedral. His death became a symbol against anti gay hate and violence, and his parents were worried his final resting place would be desecrated. Now, he is finally able to rest peacefully, in the company of Helen Keller, Woodrow Wilson, and other dignitaries. Judy and Dennis spoke to me at the @smithsonian after donating some of Matthew’s possessions. You can watch our full interview, on @time’s website or by visiting the link in my bio.

@lynseyaddario is my #wednesdaywoman because her photographs speak volumes. Lynsey has traveled all over the world, often in war zones to capture the human faces behind these conflicts. She’s won multiple awards, including a Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting and a MacArthur genius grant. She’s documented life in Afghanistan under Taliban rule, Iraq following the US-led invasion, and in western Sudan in the aftermath of the genocide in Darfur, for publications like the @nytimes, @newsweek, and @natgeo. She’s been kidnapped, ambushed, and injured while capturing these critically important stories and images. “As a photographer who is constantly in violent, bloody situation where the instinct is to turn away, I am always trying to figure out how to make people not turn away.” Lynsey is fearless and one of the nicest people I know. Her new book “Of Love and War” is a collection of many of her most moving photographs and the stories behind them. #womenwednesday #wednesday #wcw #photography

Hi everyone! My documentary, Gender Revolution has been made available for FREE streaming on @natgeo AND @youtube - you can also still watch on @netflix as well 😊 I wanted to share this clip of Ally, a young girl I spoke with who knew from a very early age that the body she was born in was not the correct one. At the age of 7 1/2 Ally was contemplating suicide. I was shocked to learn that 40% of transgender adults attempt suicide, and 92% of those individuals attempt suicide before the age of 25. Making this documentary was incredibly eye opening for me, and I encourage you all to watch to expand your understanding. #genderrevolution #natgeo #awareness #transgender #wontbeerased

One week from Election Day, here is a piece from another hero I have the honor of calling my friend. Sully Sullenberger’s quick thinking, calm demeanor and wealth of experience enabled him to safely land his disabled aircraft on the Hudson River ten years ago this February. As he writes in his op-ed piece for the @washingtonpost - “A leader sets the tone and must create an environment in which all can do their best. You get what you project. Whether it is calm and confidence - or fear, anger, and hatred - people will respond in kind. Courage can be contagious.” Thank you, Sully and I hope YOUR answer will be yes too. #vote #miracleonthehudson #election

The Tree of Life Synagogue was the center of her very active life. To Bubbie, family was everything. She knew her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren better than they knew themselves.

I also wanted to take time today to highlight the victims of another horrific shooting that happened last week in Jeffersontown, Kentucky. A man tried unsuccessfully to enter First Baptist Church, a historically black church, before going into a Kroger grocery store where he then shot and killed two people. The police chief of Jeffersontown declared the shooting a hate crime. This hasn’t gotten as much attention, but it is just as heartbreaking, and I wanted to share the stories of the two people who lost their lives that day. Maurice E. Stallard, 69, a military veteran and retired GE employee, was shot in the back of the head and multiple times in the back while shopping for poster board with his 12 year old grandson. Maurice was the father of Kellie Watson, who works for Louisville mayor Greg Fisher as his chief equity officer. Those who knew Maurice described him as a warm, easy-going family man who always greeted people with a hug. #restinpeace #jeffersontown

Melvin Wax, 88. Melvin was a retired accountant, father and grandfather who was quiet and loved to tell jokes. Mel, as his friends and family called him, was leading Shabbat services when the shooting began. “If somebody didn’t come that was supposed to lead services, he could lead the services and do everything. He knew how to do everything at the synagogue. He was really a very learned person.” Says Myron Snider, a friend of Mel’s. #restinpeace #remebertheirnames #pittsburgh

I wanted to share this photo of David and Cecil Rosenthal, the two brothers who were killed in the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue. I’ve received many messages about these two brothers and their family and my new friend Hillary wrote about them in the previous post. They both had some intellectual disabilities but their mom, Joy raised them to be vibrant participants in their community and synagogue. Many have written to me to say they were the kindest and most wonderful people they had ever met and depended on each other so. David was shy and Cecil never met a stranger. We are thinking of them, their mom and sisters Diane and Michelle tonight as well as all the victims. I love my Instagram community and so appreciate those who have ties to SQ Hill and Tree of Life reaching out and sharing their stories and their sorrow. We grieve with you. Love from all of us.(Thank you for your memories and thank you @sdunngeon for this photo...)

These are the people who were murdered yesterday in Pittsburgh. Take a moment to read these names and imagine their families and the excruciating pain they are in and then imagine if this had happened to your mother or father or grandmother or grandfather or anyone you love. Then imagine coming together to fix this madness because this simply cannot continue. I’d like to see less hateful rhetoric and sensible gun laws enacted. Your suggestions are welcome. Thank you to @thelilynews for posting these names. 💔#theydeservebetter #wedeservebetter

Today, a heavily armed gunman opened fire during a baby naming ceremony at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburg. This was the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in recent US history. This is infuriating. Sending strength, resilience and resolve to the city of Pittsburgh tonight. #brokenhearted —————————————————- #repost from @tomhanks: Again, to me this photo is the spirit of Pittsburgh- with a broken heart today for those in Squirrel Hill ...

Today I had the privilege of attending the service of Thanksgiving and Remembrance for Matthew Wayne Shepard. I covered this story 20 years ago when Matthew was murdered in Laramie, Wyoming. He was abducted by two men he met in a pub, brutally beaten and pistol whipped before they took him and tied his body to a fence. Matthew was 21 years old and a small man - 5’2” and 105 pounds. When a cyclist saw him the next morning he thought he was a scarecrow and the first police officer on the scene saw Matthew was barely breathing, his face covered with blood except for the lines where his tears had fallen. There was also a deer that was lying on the ground next to him that scampered away when help arrived. Matthew was in a coma and died six days later. Judy and Dennis Shepard are two of my personal heroes. They have taken their son’s tragic, senseless death and have become warriors against anti gay violence and hate. Judy has spoken to some 2 million people and has left those who have heard her forever changed. Today, Matthew’s ashes were finally laid to rest at Washington National Cathedral. It was a profoundly moving service and I’m so grateful I was there to honor him and pay my respects. He had not been buried because there was deep concern that his grave would be desecrated. As the right Reverend V. Gene Robinson-the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church-said during his homily, “Gently rest in this place. You are safe now. And Matt...welcome home.” It was a beautiful, haunting service. If anyone is interested in Matthew and the impact he had in his too short life, you can support the important work of the Matthew Shepard Foundation. And please try to live a life of compassion and grace. (www.matthewshepard.org) #restinpeacematthew #matthewshepard

Today’s #WednesdayWomen is a double header! I wanted to shine a light on not one but two amazing women: Mandognin Bamba and Jodi Beck. Mandognin and Jodi met 10 years ago through @imentororg - which is an organization that has created nearly 30,000 relationships between student and adult mentors who are invested in their academic success. When Mandognin and Jodi first met, Mandognin had just moved to the US from Côte d’Ivoire and barely spoke any English. Jodi and Mandognin were paired together and now, 10 years later, their stories are intricately interwoven. Jodi supported Mandognin while she learned English, during her college application process, when she got a full ride to Queens College, and when she graduated with a degree in political science. Afterwards, Mandognin was able to take Jodi to Africa with her for a month so Jodi could meet her family! After a decade together, there is no way to know either of these women without knowing the unique story between them. It’s the rarest of relationships, which is exactly what makes it so powerful. If you’re interested in volunteering as a mentor, visit imentor.org/mentor - it’s a great organization that I’m proud to be a part of! #wednesday #wednesdaywomen #mentor #love

Sandra Day O’Connor, the first female justice on the US Supreme Court, announced yesterday that she had been diagnosed with dementia. “While the final chapter of my life with dementia may be trying, nothing has diminished my gratitude and deep appreciation for the countless blessings in my life,” she wrote. She added: “As a young cowgirl from the Arizona desert, I never could have imagined that one day I would become the first woman justice on the US Supreme Court.” I interviewed Justice O’Connor for @datelinenbc in 2002 about growing up in Arizona and about her professional life as a judge, which culminated in a call from President Reagan telling her s was his choice as the next Supreme Court justice. She spoke with me about the enormous responsibility that came with being “the first.” 👩‍⚖️ Since her announcement, I’ve been thinking about her and all she’s accomplished with tremendous respect, admiration, and appreciation. 📹 c\o @datelinenbc #sandradayoconnor #wednesday #itdidmatter #itdoesmatter

I recently watched “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” and it restored my faith in humanity! I remember visiting Mister Rogers neighborhood when I interviewed Fred several years ago. One of the most moving scenes in the film was when Mister Rogers sang to Jeff Erlanger - a young boy who was left as a quadriplegic after surgery to remove a tumor on his spine when he was 7 months old. I dare you to watch this and not get choked up - it’s so moving and so wonderful to see this sort of kindness and compassion, now more than ever. Mr. Rogers was an 😇 on earth. You can watch the full clip on my IGTV and the full movie on demand or on @amazon ! #wontyoubemyneighbor #misterrodgers #love #tbt PS. Jeff became an activist and advocate for people with disabilities and died in 2007 at the age of 36. His parents are featured in the movie. 😢

My sister Emily passed away 17 years ago today. She was 54. Emily was remarkable. Whip smart, driven and compassionate, the eldest child in the Couric family who set a wonderful example (and high bar) for the three who followed. Emily was running for Lt. Governor in Virginia when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had to step down. She was replaced by Tim Kaine who went on, of course, to do great things. As I’ve watched so many women decide to run for office and get into public service, it’s made me think of my sister, who as a state Senator loved representing the people of Charlottesville and all of Albemarle County. Emily would be so proud of the many women who want to “be the change they wish to see.” Emily’s wonderful husband George, along with her friends and family and the good people of Virginia established the Emily Couric Cancer Center at UVA which has helped so many dealing with this maddening disease. #rememberingemily #vote

It’s #Wednesday and you know what that means! This is the day we celebrate cool women doing great things. I went to @marblechurchnyc on Sunday and the minister Michael Bos mentioned a woman named Michelle Lee who lives here in New York City. Michelle is a librarian and through her work helping young adults with career counseling, she learned that many of them didn’t have things they needed for job interviews like ties, bags, or briefcases. She decided if you could check out books, why not be able to check out these items that help give you an extra boost of confidence for a big interview! She got a budget from the library, purchased the items from Amazon, and now job seekers can check them out from the library for up to three weeks! How great is that?! Here is Michelle next to the “Dress Up Lending Library.” You go Michelle! #wednesdaywomen #wcw #nypl @nypl

Today’s #WednesdayWomen also happens to fall on #WorldMentalHealthDay so I wanted to highlight @elyse.fox, founder of the @sadgirlsclub. Sad Girls Club is an Instagram account that has grown into a community, both on and offline. Elyse started Sad Girls Club as a way to open up about her mental health struggles, and create a safe space for girls to be honest and find support. It has now evolved into a real-life community with over 53,000 members - and Elyse has organized over 20 meetups for free group therapy sessions. Elyse has struggled with depression since she was a child but did not receive her diagnosis until age 23. “Growing up, there was a lack of representation of what mental health looked like in general, but especially among women of color.” she says. “There was no advocates who were successful, proud-and also had depression, or anxiety, or PTSD openly. I didn’t have an outlet - I basically created Sad Girls Club for the 10 year old Elyse - it’s all the things I would have wanted to see when I was going through what I was going through.”❤️ I think it’s so important to remove the stigma of mental health issues and be more open about it. I was alarmed to learn that anxiety has surpassed depression as the most common mental health issue and more than one in four women between the ages of 16-24 experience mental health problems (such as generalized anxiety disorder, depression, phobias, and obsessive compulsive disorders) and are nearly three times more likely to suffer from these disorders than men in the same age range. Thank you Elyse for all the work you are doing & and if you want to learn more visit @sadgirlsclub ! #wednesday #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #sadgirlsclub

She was always told that her decision to wear a hijab would be considered a hindrance for her, and would prevent her from achieving her dreams. She ignored the naysayers and began to realize that wearing her hijab actually gave her an advantage. “This was my eureka moment - I realized that my strength lies in using my own identity to build trust with people who’ve never trusted mainstream media to tell their story before. These were the stories I was meant to be covering.” Her newest project, premiering next week on October 10th is a new investigative podcast series called “Sold in America” an 8 episode journey into the world of selling sex in the US. Noor is an incredible light in this world, and I’m so inspired by her and the way she is using her voice to amplify and uplift the voices and stories of others! #shero #amazingwomen #letnoorshine #loveher 🌟🌟

Tom Friedman of the @nytimes wrote a piece about this today, using this quote by Senator Jeff Flake. It breaks my heart to see how polarized we’ve become. I’d be interested in reading your thoughtful replies. (I will link the full article in the comment section below if you’d like to read the full piece.)#keeptalking

I just spent some time talking to one of the women who confronted @Jeffflake in the elevator today on Capital Hill. She is a survivor of sexual assault and her name is Ana Maria. Listen to her story and our full conversation on my Instagram live which you can find by clicking on my stories! We had technical difficulties at first but we figured out a solution! 👍🏼 #kavanaughhearings

This happened earlier today on Capitol Hill soon after Jeff Flake announced he was going to vote to confirm Judge #Kavanaugh. This encounter may have contributed to Jeff Flake’s decision to call for an FBI investigation before the vote can take place. What do you think? I’m happy to hear all points of view on this.

It’s hard not to make this week’s #WednesdayWomen Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Tomorrow all eyes will be on her as she testifies about her experience with Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh as a 15 year old girl at a party in the summer of 1982. The fact that she’s come forward has opened up a critically important conversation about sexual assault, memory, and the life long impact of trauma. It’s also spurred an important discussion around conduct, character and culture. I know many of you will be watching tomorrow and we should revisit this after we hear from both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh, but her willingness to be at the epicenter of this much needed conversation is so admirable and takes a great deal of courage. #wednesday #kavanaughconfirmation

I saw this video and was so moved. I miss watching the incredible actors in the @handmaidsonhulu and was so happy to see them get behind the work of a great organization and share these stories of real women. Since 1992, @equalitynoworg has been working to advance the rights of women and girls. Their international network of lawyers, activists and supporters have held governments accountable for ending legal inequality, sex trafficking, sexual violence and harmful practices (like female genital mutilation and child marriage.) Learn more about their work and how they’re helping making the world an equal place for women and girls. ❤️#equalitynow #handmaidstale

Hi everyone! For today’s #WomenWednesday I am celebrating the four women currently training at @nasa for the chance to go on a mission to #Mars. While the mission is still at least 13 years away, these four cannot wait to get going. Meet Anne McClain, Nicole Aunapu Mann, Christina Hammock Koch, and Jessica Meir. Anne flew attack helicopters on the front lines of Iraq and has masters degrees in both international security and aerospace engineering. Nicole served multiple tours in Iraq flying fighter jets with the Marine Corps. Christina spent a year in the South Pole supercooling telescopes with 10,000 gallons of liquid helium. And Jessica has a Ph.D in marine biology and has experience diving under several feet of ice in Antarctica. (phew!!!!!😅)Women have been going to space since 1963, but these women are part of the FIRST NASA class where 50% of the astronauts are female. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️While the mission will be incredibly challenging - roundtrip it will take 2-3 years to complete and once landed, astronauts on #Mars will have to navigate giant dust storms, temperatures plummeting to - 284°F, and an atmosphere filled with cancer causing galactic radiation - these women are committed and fearless. Says McClain, “If we go to Mars, we’ll be representing our entire species in a place we’ve never been before. To me it’s the highest thing a human being can achieve.” My Sheroes !!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼#phenomenalwomen #astronauts #stemwomenrock #spacegirls #upupandaway 👩🏽‍🚀🌍☄️✨

I’ll never forget covering the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings in 1991 and watching Anita Hill comport herself with such grace and poise. In fact, I did one of her very first TV interviews, and once again was struck by her courage and dignity. In light of the current accusations against Brett Kavanaugh, here are a few things Anita points out today in her @nytimes piece: - Our interest in the integrity of the Supreme Court and in eliminating sexual misconduct, especially in our public institutions, are entirely compatible. - A neutral investigative body with experience in these cases should investigate the incident and present its findings to the committee so they are more reliable and not perceived as tainted bipartisanship. She ends; “With the current heightened awareness of sexual violence comes heightened accountability for our representatives. To do better, the 2018 Senate Judiciary Committee must demonstrate a clear understanding that sexual violence is a social reality to which elected representatives must respond. A fair, neutral and well-thought-out course is the only way to approach Dr. Blasey and Judge Kavanaugh’s forthcoming testimony.” What are your thoughts? I want this to be a space for respectful conversation and I’d love to hear what you all are thinking. I hope to revisit this with you all following Monday’s testimony. #keeptalking 📹 @refinery29

Molner’s new Starbucks name. The barista’s comment? “I like it!” Looking for ideas for mine. My stripper name (First pet and street you grew up on) is Pansy Chesterbrook. (40th St doesn’t work so used the next one over.) If I waited for my second pet’s name—-a Maine Coon cat—it would be Spicy Woodstock. (The other street at the end of mine). Suggestions for my new Starbucks name are welcome. Molner had one idea from a Bond movie that I have nixed. #HappySunday PS feel free to share you stripper name with me if the mood strikes.

Today’s #WomenWednesday, I wanted to highlight Mandy Manning, the 2018 National Teacher of the Year. Mandy teaches refugee and immigrant students at Joel E. Ferris High School in Spokane, Washington. Mandy has been teaching for 18 years, and got her start teaching in the Peace Corps; first in Armenia and then in Japan. Mandy’s students at Joel E. Ferris High come to the US from all over the world: Myanmar, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Guatemala, Sudan, Tanzania and Mexico. Most of them are seeking safety, and Mandy says her role in the classroom is to “help them understand current events, know their rights, and provide a safe and welcoming environment.” When Mandy went to the White House to accept the National Teacher of the Year award, she used the moment to hand President Trump letters from the refugee and immigrant children in her classroom. “This year I hope to engage the nation in a conversation about how we can encourage students to experience things outside of their understanding. When we move out of our comfort zones, visit new places, listen to others’ thoughts, and share our own opinions, we become compassionate and open. This is the first step in creating a more helpful, safer, and kinder society where everyone can be productive, global citizens.” Teachers are such rockstars, and Mandy is doing incredible work creating safe and inclusive spaces for kids to learn. If there’s a woman in your life who inspires you and is doing amazing things, please share their stories with me! ❤️🍎#iloveteachers #girlpower #education #hero #wonderwoman

For today’s #WednesdayWomen, I wanted to highlight a young woman I admire so much. Her name is Julienne Gede Edwards (@julienne_edwards) Julienne had just graduated from law school with a JD and a masters in music business and entertainment and was studying for the bar when she suddenly began experiencing abdominal pains. A tumor was found in her colon, and after an emergency surgery, Julienne received a heartbreaking diagnosis - stage IV colon cancer at the age of 26. In the midst of receiving treatment, Julienne studied for and passed the bar exam AND became an advocate for cancer patients. She got involved with organizations including the American Cancer Society, National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, and Fight Colorectal Cancer. That all began in 2015, and now in 2018 - Julienne is unstoppable. While still battling her cancer, she beautifully sang the national anthem for her hometown team, the Baltimore Ravens while hooked up to an oxygen tank. Julienne is a true warrior, and stories like hers inspire me to never give up and to stand up against this disease that has affected the lives of so many. This Friday, I hope you’ll join me in the fight and #StandUp2Cancer. Over the past 10 years, we have raised almost $500 million dollars to fund clinical trials and cutting-edge research that saves lives and gets us one step closer to kicking cancer's you-know-what! 👍🏼 Please join the fight and learn more at https://standuptocancer.org/ @su2c

Since so many people are still grieving the loss of Senator John McCain, I thought it would be best to use his own words to inspire us on this #Monday ——————————————————————————————— “If you find faults with our country, make it a better one. If you’re disappointed with the mistakes of government, join its ranks and work to correct them. Enlist in our armed forces. Become a teacher. Enter the ministry. Run for public office. Feed a hungry child. Teach an illiterate adult to read. Comfort the afflicted. Defend the rights of the oppressed. Our country will be the better, and you will be the happier. Because nothing brings greater happiness in life than to serve a cause greater than yourself.” - Senator John McCain #mondaymotivation #inmemoriam

“The summer night is like a perfection of thought.” -Wallace Stevens #pleasedontend #summerbreezemakesmefeelfine #summerlovinhadmeablast PS and since some of you are asking about my sandals (not universally liked but that’s ok!😊)I just looked. They are by belle which I think is the less $$$ line by Sigerson Morrison? Any of you fashionistas out there want to help me? 👡🧦 (they don’t have heels but can’t find sandal emoji and did socks because everyone thinks I’m wearing them. Molner thinks it looks like I’m wearing an ace bandage!)

Senator John McCain is someone I deeply admired. He was man of courage, honor, integrity and character. He also had a terrific sense of humor! But most of all, he epitomized something that seems to be in short supply today, not just in politics. That is decency. When a woman during the 2008 campaign complained that then Senator Barrack Obama was an “Arab” (and she didn’t trust him as one of my followers pointed out...) he gently but quickly corrected her. “No ma’am, no ma’am,” he told her. “He’s a decent family man and citizen who I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues. And that is what this campaign is all about.” He could have riled up the crowd by taking a different tack but instead he was a leader. Thank you for your service Senator. You will always be a true American hero.

Today is Wednesday (on a “staycation” and almost forgot!) and today I wanted to honor Talia Haviv. Talia (@talsnyc) is a Senior Certified Child Life Specialist who works with pediatric cancer patients at #montefiorenyc in the Bronx. She was a clothing buyer and decided she wanted to do something more meaningful, so she started volunteering at a hospital, was inspired by the child life specialists and went back to school to get her Masters degree. I’ve always so admired people who help take care of sick children because I know it must rip your heart out at times. Talia told me what her work has taught her: “I’ve learned the strength of family and love combined. I’ve learned how strong and brave people can be. I always feel honored when families welcome me into their circle during such difficult times.” While she says her work sometimes makes her very sad she takes what she’s learned from each patient and knows “every day is a new beginning and there are new families and patients who need my help.” Here Talia is with 7 year old Justin Ortiz. (Justin just finished proton radiation therapy...send him positive thoughts!) Thank you Talia for helping so many families and making the cancer journey for countless children (since 2003) a little less scary and a little less lonely. 🙏🏻❤️ 😇 #Wednesdaywomen #aspiretoinspire

Today I want to salute and celebrate the extraordinary #Arethafranklin who is in hospice as I write this. What a remarkable woman and a remarkable life. As @barackobama said in David Remnick’s wonderful @newyorkermag profile from March of 2016, “American history wells up when Aretha sings. That’s why, when she sits down at the piano and plays ‘A Natural Woman’ she can move me to tears...because it captures the fullness of the American experience, the view from the bottom as well as the top, the good and the bad, and the possibility of synthesis, reconciliation and transcendence.” He was in fact moved to tears watching this performance at the KENNEDY Center Honors in 2016. I love watching honoree @carole_king kvelling over Miss Franklin’s performance. (That’s what everyone calls her by the way) Carol and her then husband Gerry Goffin wrote the song in 1967. “Seeing her sit down to play the piano put me rungs higher on the levels of joy.” Thank you, Aretha, the Queen of Soul and the Queen of our hearts. If you want to see the full video, go to my IGTV! #wednesdaywomen #aspiretoinspire #respect #godspeed

As all eyes are on Washington, D.C. and the gathering of white nationalists, here is the havoc they wreaked last year in Charlottesville. PS. I know some of you are upset that I posted this. I think it’s an important reminder that even though there haven’t been many public displays of this kind of vitriol and hate since Charlottesville, these people are still out there. The hour I did for Nat Geo explains how these statues are being used as a rallying cry, just as Dylan Roof used the confederate flag to promote violent racism that led to the murders in Charleston. I hope you all will watch and hear the perspective of Americans who are deeply offended by the version of history that has excluded the experiences of many African Americans. As always, I appreciate your comments. I hope this will be a place where we can have respectful, civil conversations. 🙏🏻

One year ago I was in Charlottesville as part of my @natgeochannel series #Americainsideout. Little did we know this bucolic college town, home to my alma mater @uva would erupt in violence and hate, leaving a young woman dead and an entire community in shock. Here is a clip from the night before, when we were the only cameras inside an interfaith service. Those who gathered pledged to stand up to the white supremacists descending on their town when a frightening torch rally gave a preview of what would unfold the next day. You can watch the entire “Re-Righting History” episode on Hulu, On Demand, and on the Nat Geo TV App. Tomorrow I will post a clip from the rally itself. #Charlottesville #Natgeo #keeptalking

It was such a privilege to spend the morning with Manuel and Patricia Oliver who lost their son Joaquin in the Parkland shooting last February. They are extraordinary people and have channeled their grief into changing gun laws and electing politicians who stand up to the gun lobby. Manuel, a talented artist, has been painting murals across the country to convey his pain and the need for action. We are documenting some of the people left behind and their journeys as they cope with these life-shattering losses. Manny will be painting a mural tomorrow in Queens at Roy Wilkins Park (177th and Baisley Blvd) starting at 2:00pm. Swipe to see some of the other murals he's painted in the last several months - in Chicago, LA, New York, Fairfax, VA and Wynwood, FL and also a photo of Joaquin who would have turned 18 on August 4th. Please continue to keep Manny and Patricia in your hearts. 💔 #pleasevote

Today I wanted to shine a light on a woman I deeply admire, Madonna Badger, for her ability to find purpose in the face of unimaginable pain and grief. Madonna lost her three young daughters and parents in a fire seven years ago, something none of us can, or want to even imagine. After contemplating ending it all, she chose to live. Returning to her work as the founder and chief creative officer of Badger and Winters, an agency she started when she was 29, “gave her a sense of dignity,” and she began to focus on the way girls and women are portrayed and objectified in advertising. She has produced @womennotobjects @caliabycarrie a film featuring @carrieunderwood about the importance of sports for girls and #weseeequal about defying gender stereotypes. She also has a big campaign coming out in the September issue of Vogue! By changing the images of girls and women in media, she’s changing how we see ourselves and our potential. But what I most admire about Madonna is her resilience, grace and desire to change the world as a way of honoring her beautiful girls. #wednesdaywomen #aspiretoinspire Please share a woman who inspires you! ❤️(If you’re interested in watching Madonna’s wonderful work, go to her website www.badgerandwinters.com)

An article in the latest issue of JAMA says plastic surgeons are increasingly getting requests to make people look as good as they do in their selfies after they edit them. Researchers call it “Snapchat dysmorphia” and they say it is having a negative impact on self esteem and can even trigger body dysmorphic disorder, which is classified as a mental illness. Clearly, I am bucking that trend. I also have a terrible sore throat. #happymonday.

I LOVED THIS BOOK! Clemantine Wamariya escaped the Rwandan genocide when she was six and traveled with her older sister through seven countries over six years before coming to the United States. During a time when refugees are so often “otherized” and dehumanized, Clemantine’s story is the story of those who are forced to leave everything behind. She writes, “We walked for hours, until everything hurt, not toward anything, just away. We rubbed the red-brown mud and eucalyptus leaves in our bodies so we could disappear. Prickers grated my ankles. We walked up and over and around and down, so many hills. We heard laughing and screaming and pleading and crying and then cruel laughing again. I didn’t know how to name the noises....but without words my mind had no way to define or understand the awful sounds, nowhere to store them in my brain. It was cold and green and wet and the bushes and my legs were shaking and eyes, so many eyes.” (Clementine was six years old at the time) “It’s strange, how you go from being a person who is away from home to a person with no home at all. The place that is supposed to want you has pushed you out. No other places take you in. You are unwanted, by everyone. You are a refugee.” This is a story of courage, resolve, brutality, but ultimately triumph over the most unimaginable fear and suffering. It is also about surprising acts of kindness and generosity and about recovering, actually really creating your identity from the scar tissue of recurring trauma that never really goes away. Thank you Clementine, for sharing your harrowing, profoundly moving and ultimately uplifting journey with the world. Now I want to meet you and your sister Claire! And thank you Tom Bernstein for recommending! Clemantine, I love my followers and I hope they read your wonderful book! ❤️ 🌍 PS if you have any books you’ve loved reading this Summer, please give me your recommendations! 😊 (sorry for the long post, I got carried away!

In Greece, terrible wildfires are wreaking havoc. So far at least 50 people have been killed and more than 150 have been injured. The fires, one west of Athens in Kineta, and the other to the northeast near Rafina, started on Monday from undetermined causes. Due to gale-force winds, they spread quickly into popular holiday seaside areas, preventing people who were in their cars or homes from being able to flee, as many evacuation routes were blocked. More than 600 firefighters and 250 fire engines were deployed to the sites of the two largest fires. These are the worst fires Greece has seen since 2007.

#Repost @time ・・・ Mass protests in London against President Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom kicked off in dramatic fashion on July 13, as Trump walked back a series of explosive comments about Britain’s leaders to a tabloid newspaper, published a day earlier. In a joint news conference with Prime Minister Theresa May, the president attempted to spin his #brexit remarks and dismissed the interview as “fake news,” despite the fact that The Sun released an audio recording. As the pair spoke at May’s Buckinghamshire estate, protesters gathered in London; as many as 200,000 people were expected to attend the demonstration, while dozens of similar events were planned elsewhere. In Parliament Square, a 20-foot #TrumpBaby balloon was raised, to great media fanfare.

In case you missed last night, President Trump has nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to fill Justice Kennedy’s seat on the Supreme Court. He is a federal appeals court judge, a former aide to President George W. Bush and a onetime investigator of President Clinton. Not surprisingly, his nomination is being received very differently depending on your views. Trump described Kavanaugh is “one of the finest and sharpest legal minds in our time.” After the announcement, Chuck Schumer said “I will oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination with everything I have.” The big question marks may be Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. What are your thoughts? #scotus PS All of the Thai boys have been rescued!

I’ve been so worried about these young soccer players in Thailand. Eight boys have been rescued so far, and four more boys and their coach remain trapped inside the cave. The boys who were rescued on Sunday were in stable condition at the hospital in Chiang Rai. Let’s all continue to send positive thoughts their way and strength to all the rescue workers and divers risking their lives to save them! 🙏🏻

Yesterday’s shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper is such a tragedy. Rob Hiaasen, whose brother is best-selling author Carl Hiaasen, was a generous, gentle man and "such a gifted writer and editor" who believed deeply in keeping the public informed. Gerald Fischman “had an encyclopedia knowledge of everything from philosophy to who knows what.” John McNamara loved covering sports, and his interest in local history inspired him to write two books about University of Maryland's football and basketball history. Wendi Winters was an active volunteer with the Girl Scouts and Red Cross and “Her life was a gift to everyone who knew her.” Rebecca Smith described herself as a "Dog Mom. Softball Fiance and Bonus Mom to the best kid ever." They were all committed to serving their community by informing and enlightening readers at a time local newspapers are facing big challenges. A group of Americans doing their jobs and living their lives. My deepest sympathies to their families and friends. #senseless

It was really moving to speak with #JaneKrakowski yesterday (I ❤️her) as she shared the heartache and anguish of seeing her dad struggle with dementia. She opened up about the difficulties of watching someone you love slowly disappear. There are nearly 10 million new cases of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease diagnosed each year but there are limited tools available to diagnose and treat the symptoms. Now, #AARP has announced their commitment to #DisruptDementia with a $60 million investment in #TheDDFund to support urgently needed research into dementia prevention and treatment. AARP is also working to help caregivers who experience stress, exhaustion and emotional strain caring for their loved ones and they have a helpful section on their site. If you are one of those caregivers I want to say thank you for all you do. Sending you love, support and appreciation. ❤️

Nine years ago today, Michael Jackson passed away and many of us remember where we were when we heard the news. Today, I’m remember this extraordinarily talented artist and the musical gifts he gave us through the years. “I’ll be There” came out when I was 13 years old. I think I slow danced to this song more than a few times. Tell me your fondest #MichaelJackson moments as we remember him today.

#FBF to earlier this week in #Cannes. I was there to announce the formation of KCM (Katie Couric Media...how original!) where I will continue to produce high quality, meaningful content for a variety of platforms (including documentaries, digital series, podcasts, scripted shows) and I’m very excited to be collaborating with brands that reflect my values. My first project will be working with @proctergamble, a company that’s been at the forefront of high quality storytelling that’s engaging and enlightening, like “love over bias” and “The Talk”. They are more like short films that help us understand the world and each other. (Links in my bio!) P&G is also committed to gender equality, something we can all cheer for. The extraordinary CMO #MarcPritchard is such a rock star. P&G is also working with the amazing @queenlatifah to create more opportunities for women directors and @Madonnabadger whose breakthrough work continues to challenge stereotypes and is helping to increase the number of women in the creative pipeline. Our friend @milckmusic joined us to sing a song after the panel. My first project out of the gates will be a series called “Getting There” - profiles of cool, accomplished women that I’m co-producing with my friends at @theskimm. Can’t wait to continue to bring interesting, important storytelling to you all and to nurture, elevate and showcase a diverse group of content creators! Thanks to all my investors who believe there’s a need for important storytelling that can change and improve our lives. 👍🏼😊🍾❤️ #bringit #whostheboss #imtheboss

Carrie asked me in lieu of a graduation gift to support one of the many organizations helping the children being ripped from the arms of their parents, many of whom are seeking asylum here from violence, war and crime. My friend Claire Goldsmith did some research and recommended RAICES. This non-profit provides free and low-cost legal services to underserved immigrant children, families, and refugees in Texas. They also help pay bonds to get parents released. It has a 30-year track record working on the ground representing children and families in immigration court. In 2017, their staff closed 51,000 cases for free. Link to donate in my bio. Other groups that are doing good are CARA - Family Detention Pro Bono Project, @SupportKind and @txcivilrights. I’m going to donate in honor of Carrie. Maybe there is someone you’d like to honor in your life by supporting these incredible organizations. Then, call your congressman and tell him or her this is not who we are. #keepfamiliestogether PS. If you haven’t read @laurawbush’s piece in the @washingtonpost, the link is in my stories.

@sterlingkbrown implored @stanford graduates to let their lights shine. Then he added “This is not a selfish act. This is the way we give permission to the world to collectively step into the light!” So even if you didn’t just graduate from #Stanford, get out there and shine today! Other pearls of wisdom included: “When you see someone shinin’, don’t hate! Do not tear that individual down! Celebrate their success as if it were your own! Because whether you realize it or not, we rise and we fall together…Hey, the name of the show ain’t ‘Us vs. Them!’ It doesn’t highlight the things that differentiate us. The show is called …’This Is Us.’” #MondayMotivation #thisisus

#Repost @whispereditions..this is so moving: Letter To Kate’s 13 Yr old Daughter. Dear Sweet Girl, I don’t know you or even your name. I trust you are in a state of shock and grief currently. These first few days and weeks with out your beautiful mother are so much for such a young and fragile soul. I understand where you are because I have been there, too. My mother took her own life- she was 49 years old and I was 12. I’ll never forget those first few days alone in the world with just my Dad. It was gut wrenching and still makes me hurt to remember. Instead of focusing on the pain and struggle you will find yourself facing I want to send you a letter of deep empathy and encouragement. It has been 30 years for me since I experienced my loss and I can tell you that the lessons you’ll learn and great joys of life and love that this world have to offer will far outweigh this moment in your life. I can remind you please to always keep your chin up and remember that none of this has anything to do with you. Your moms illness was hers alone and you just happened to be thrust into these circumstances. You will miss her everyday of your life but remember this- the real her with out the mental illness - loved you deeply and that love between a mother and a daughter can not be stopped by death. That love can endure and withstand such earthly restraints. You are a living breathing embodiment of that love and her love will live through if you can let it. I know it’s hard because your angry. She left you. But her pain is over now and you have a sacred and beautiful life to live. So go live it. Be warm and kind and brilliant like your mother. Be amazing like just YOU are. Cry. Cry often. Say her name. Don’t shy away from your emotions and don’t be afraid to ask for help. You are part of a loving community of family and friends and they are there for you. You are not alone. Say that again. You are not alone. Sending you my sincerest love young girl. I wish to wrap you in a blanke

This Memorial Day I’ve been thinking about the many Americans who have sacrificed for our nation. Traveling around the country for eight months was an unforgettable experience for me. I’m so grateful to the people who shared their stories, their struggles and concerns as well as their hopes and dreams for the future. My goal was to help us all understand each other a little bit better. And while we may be different, we really do have much in common... something to think about today as we remember all the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for our great country. #MemorialDay These photos were all taken while we were filming #AmericaInsideOut. If you haven’t had the chance to watch, you can find the episodes on demand, on Hulu, YouTube, or Facebook. #keeptalking #America 🇺🇸

I had my fascinator ready for the #royalwedding but since my invitation got lost in the mail, I wore it to another royally fun wedding! Our friends @mrjesscagle and Matt Whitney @mcwla tied the knot last night and it was beautiful and so much fun. As Bishop Curry quoted Dr. Martin Luther King, “We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love, and when we do that, we will make of this old world a new world.” Congratulations Jess and Matt. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness. #loveistheonlyway See stories for more wedding fun!

Sometimes we forget simple but truly meaningful acts of kindness. When Jay died, 20 years ago, Jane Pauley wrote this lovely letter to Carrie, who was only 2 at the time. (I had asked people attending the funeral to write to the girls so they could really know their Dad) Jane enclosed a separate note to me saying she had written to Carrie because Jane, too, was a little sister. It is so lovely and sweet and thoughtful and I was so moved when I took it out of a box and read it this afternoon after all these years. Thank you Jane. ❤️ If you know someone who is sick or has experienced tremendous loss, write them and tell them how you feel, even if you feel awkward or uncomfortable and don’t know exactly what to say It can provide such comfort to grieving people. And it’s the right thing to do. 🙏🏻. And one more thing! Just re-read your note Scott Armstrong all about Manhassat High School and your memories of Jay. It was so wonderful!!! I can’t wait to read it with Ellie and Carrie. Thank you Scott! Xoxoxo

So sad to hear about Philip Roth. He was an American treasure. I interviewed him in 2004 after he wrote “The Plot Against America,” a novel which imagines Charles Lindbergh being elected president in 1940. During the interview, Roth told me “I write [books] because I don’t know how else to spend the day.” He published 27 novels including “Goodbye Columbus” “Portnoy’s Complaint” “The Ghost Writer” “Sabbath’s Theater” “American Pastoral” “Indignation” and more. Which was your favorite? 📚 #philiproth #americantreasure #rip

This is my amazing friend @pearceq who I met 10 years ago when I interviewed her at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia @childrensphila while she was undergoing treatment for Medulloblastoma brain cancer. Today she’s going to be a senior at @pepperdine majoring in public relations. This summer she is interning at @su2c Pearce is an inspiration to me. She has to deal with chronic pain and other issues associated with her treatment, but she is positive, determined and beautiful. ❤️ This is why being a co-founder of @su2c is one of my proudest accomplishments. We will never stop fighting for patients and the scientists who are working tirelessly every day to make every cancer patient a survivor.

In the tech industry, 63% of the time women receive lower salary offers than men for the same job at the same company. The highest paid actor of 2017 made $68 million, which is $42 million more than the highest paid actress who made $26 million.

When Katie met John... if anybody cares 😝 Thanks @mrjesscagle & @people! @johnmolner BTW for all you single ladies out there...treat finding a partner like finding a job. Go out with as many people as you can. For coffee only (!) although Molner said no way to coffee or lunch...he insisted on dinner. Network with your friends. Join a dating website (I really couldn’t!) It takes work and as you could see from my story persistence! So stay at it and let me know if you need any more advice. Maybe I will be the insta love guru! Lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️

So delighted to be at @lincolncenter when @helenmirren was honored at the #chaplinaward gala. Here are two excerpts from her speech that I loved: “So now I stand before you, a proud and grateful storyteller following along the same path as Chaplin, of course, but also Gish, Brooks, Davis, Stanwyk, Swanson, Dietrich, Colbert, Dandridge, Rainer, Dressler, Mcdaniels, Garland, Bergman, Winters, and so very many more..” And this wonderful quote from #rogerebert “Movies are the most powerful empathy machine in all the arts. When I go to a great movie I can live somebody else’s life for a while. I can walk in somebody else’s shoes. I can see what it feels like to be a member of a different gender, a different race, a different economic class, to live in a different time, to have a different belief. This is a liberalizing influence on me. It gives me a broader mind. It helps me to join my family of men and women on this planet. It helps me to identify with them, so I’m not just stuck being myself, day after day. The great movies enlarge us, they civilize us, they make us more decent people.” #wednesdaywisdom I ❤️@helenmirren for her elegance, work ethic but most of all her sense of humor and love of life. 👑
