Janine's longtime companion, Colin Thompson, put it perfectly in @SpyTalker's poignant obit: "She was better than the opposition. That was a hallmark of her life and her career.”

Truly sad news. Janine was an advance guard of the Me Too movement, and leaves an extraordinary impact on generations of women—and men—at the CIA and other government agencies. I had the privilege of profiling her for @wpmagazine
washingtonpost.com
After a Me Too experience, Janine Brookner is determined to hold government accountable.
CIA Officer Became ‘Formidable Foe’ of U.S. Government: Janine Brookner took on the KGB, sexist rivals and Justice Department lawyers alike during a pioneering career as a spy and lawyer.—@spytalker for @talk_spy

“It struck her one morning last July, when an email arrived from her son’s day care. In a flash of clarity, Emily Way knew her time in the workforce was about to end.” Every mom I know had a version of this lightning bolt. https://t.co/qP73uYtyUk via @19thnews’ @ChabeliH

The number of v. talented and overqualified mom candidates we've gotten for The Double Shift PT producer job BECAUSE it is PT & mission driven.... is great for us, but is a case study in how many industries sideline these women bc they took time off, want flexibility etc.

Is it really a surprise that uncredentialed coaches, influencers and motivational speakers are so popular, given the inaccessibility of mental healthcare in this country? https://t.co/Y0H7HsjHNL

Rachel Hollis, the best-selling author and motivational speaker, built a blockbuster business sharing her “authentic” self. Then things got a little too real.

This is the field where my grandmother’s family was murdered in April 1943. I met one of the witnesses, a neighbor, several years ago. She said she saw them being marched away, was told by a Nazi to get back inside or risk joining them... 1/#InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay

Poignant moment: While Joe Biden gave his inauguration speech, a lone man in a uniform knelt at the Delaware grave of his son Beau.

Can we all agree that it is AMAZING to have an incoming president who finds power in vulnerability and public displays of emotion? I, for one, am downright giddy about it.
