These guys spent so much time erasing American history that they forgot to read it.

In Hampton, we unveiled the very first Green Book marker/plaque in Virginia. The goal is to mark all locations in Virginia that were listed in our survival guide, the Green Book.

We need action now before one more person dies of a preventable overdose. Their lives matter to me.

Here’s to @BillieJeanKing and all the changemakers who broke barriers and opened doors for future generations—and to the @USOpen for raising the bar not just for the tennis world, but for the entire world. 🎾

For those tempted to explore in small crafts during this event, please don’t! Erosion points & dams are reaching capacity & you could be in sudden danger. This is not a time for recreation. Disclaimer: not a scientist, I just care about people & understand curiosity!#VTflood23

It's Tuesday. River flooding has shut down entire communities in Vermont as officials urge residents to wait in safe locations until waters begin to recede.

We're continuing to post live updates throughout the day. Follow along here:

@connorspeakss I’ll miss your voice & energy on VT edition. Your Feb. 14th episode https://t.co/SbiIgwEfZR was ❤️ . I’m so sorry for your loss. @vermontpublic

[Sen. Kesha Ram Hinsdale @KeshaRam]

.@connorspeakss brought deep authenticity and care to @vermontpublic that’s impossible to replace. It’s been heartening to see how loved he is by everyday Vermonters wishing him well on his next steps. For now, time to rest and heal after a job well done.

1/ Again. I just couldn't tweet last night. My heart hurt too much. Today I woke up with images of our cruelty in my mind.

We know more about who was shoved outside yesterday, because of data I collected. But this was what we saw around the state. #vtpoli #crisisinvt

[Tom Mustill @tommustill]

Roger Payne, legend of whale biology and marine conservation has died. The world has lost a force of nature.

I wrote a book with Roger in it, he took me under his wing and we became friends.

Here is a small part of the story of this wonderful human.

We can't afford to look away from this humanitarian crisis. Urge state leaders to fund emergency housing until viable alternatives are in place.

1/ This week I have been data gathering, trying to catch any errors for people being exited on June 15th.

Heartbreaking beyond words to sit in front of person after person, see their fear & not be able to help.

This is what I have seen so far. #vtpoli #crisisinvr
