1/ First, a disclosure: I first knew Elizabeth Warren as my husband's colleague in the U.S. Senate. She & I have had some brief, meaningful conversations over the last few years, but I would not presume to describe us as friends.
And yet.
And yet.
2/ After my brother's suicide in July, Elizabeth Warren texted. Then she called. And then she wrote a personal note of support.
This was during one of the darkest times of my life, and I had no intention of sharing this publicly.
Until now, in response to recent coverage.

3/ This is not an endorsement of Elizabeth Warren the candidate, but an affirmation of who I know her to be. Anyone falsely casting her as angry & antagonistic is telegraphing the limits of their minds, & the magnitude of their insecurities.
4/ Women have always known that kindness is part of our strength, and that this confounds those who think we have to choose. It’s our not-so-secret power, and it worries only those who think they’re going to stand in our way.
