I graduated from Boston College and worked at J.P. Morgan,
Drawn to public service, I initiated a new chapter of my life by joining the Department of State in 2004. As a Foreign Service Officer
I had postings in Colombia, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates, and also served in a variety of roles in Washington, D.C. at the Department of State and the White House National Security Council
I studied Arabic … when I try to use it on the streets of Cairo
In 2017 I helped President and Mrs. Obama as they launched the Obama Foundation
In 2022 I returned to public service as U.S. Ambassador to Chile
So she’s just straight up evil to the core
Prior to joining the Department of State in March 2004, Bernadette was a Vice President at J.P. Morgan and a Vice President at Lehman Brothers
All the way to the core lmao
I learned a new language and opened my eyes to new perspectives (Joaquín Torres García’s América Invertida drawing was transformative for me).
Uhhh…
“There must not be north for us, except in opposition to our south. Therefore we now turn the map upside down, and then we have a true idea of our position, and not as the rest of the world wishes. The point of America, from now on, forever, insistently points to the South, our north.”
Critics have interpreted the image as a sociopolitical artistic work that was intended to counter US cultural imperialism and other cartographic and cultural norms rooted in the European colonization of the Americas
Apparently her conclusions about this piece were the complete opposite of what the artist intended. “Oh they don’t like US imperialism? I guess we better make them like US imperialism.”
I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards.
I don’t think I’ve read such a distorted understanding of a piece of art before in my life. Such is the mind of imperialists, I guess. Good reminder to ignore american’s opinions on art from the third world
Seeing and understanding different perspectives doesn’t mean you agree with them tbh
You might not like it but this is what peak meritocracy looks like.

I really hate how wikipedia is
It’s such a good idea. It’s so so fucking useful. But like everything else, it must be controlled by the great satan
Since when does wikimedia even have a CEO? I thought the top manager was called Executive Director.
