In 1883, VUU made history by admitting women through Hartshorn Memorial College, the 1st in VA to educate Black women. By 1892, Hartshorn grads became the 1st Black women in the U.S. to earn bachelor’s degrees. VUU has been breaking barriers since day one! #VUUBHM

The blaming of Harris' loss on "Latinos" is leading to my Puerto Rican family in rural Pennsylvania (who voted for Harris) to not only receive harassment from MAGA people (par for the course in rural PA), but also Democrats now. You all need to be more critical of what you say.

One of my greatest fears in hazard planning is shown in Tennessee this week: as a country, we lack clear datasets on where dams and levees are as well as their capacities. It is so bad that these infrastructures were not accounted for in the National Risk Map. Why it matters? 1/3
