Hillary Clinton took the stage at a diversity conference in San Francisco Tuesday, and finally gave us the Hillary we've been waiting for.
After attending the inauguration and then largely laying low during Trump's presidency, the former Secretary of State broke her silence and made her most political comments since losing the 2016 election.
"There is no place I'd rather be than here with you," Clinton said, "Other than the White House."

"Obviously the outcome of the election wasn't the one I hoped for, worked for," Clinton said, "But I will never stop speaking out for common sense benefits that will allow moms and dads to stay on the job."

"Really? Take away maternity care?" she said referring to the GOP health care debate, "Who do these people talk to?"

Clinton touched on inclusivity and diversity of women in the workplace (see: above f*cking picture) and the necessity for the private sector to work harder bringing women to the table.
"Advancing the rights and opportunities of women and girls is the great unfinished business of the 21st century," she said, noting that women's representation in Washington is, "the lowest it's been in a generation." (Ivanka's only one person, fam.)

She also brought up yesterday's double whammy of Sean Spicer's downspeak to April Ryan and Bill O'Reilly's racist comment about Maxine Waters' hair, saying "Too many women - especially of color - have had a lifetime of practice taking precisely these kinds of indignities in stride."
"Any woman who thinks this couldn't be directed at her is living in a dream world," she said.
The popular vote winner went on to say that Trump's administration has been "met with a wave of resistance," and that the protests about their backwards policies are just getting started.
"People who had never been active in politics told their stories at town hall meetings." Clinton explained. "They were people who had something to say and were determined to be heard."

She then introduced a new mantra: "Resist, insist, persist, enlist." She encouraged the audience to resist "actions that go against our values as Americans," insist on "putting people first," persist like Sen. Elizabeth Warren and enlist others by running for office or opening a business.
"I'll be right there with you every step of the way," Clinton finished.
She also sported a literally perfect leather jacket during the talk, possibly coordinating with cool dad Barack Obama to craft a uniform for the resistance.
Twitter was thrilled to see HRC back in action.
