Red Hartebeest are social, living in herds of up to 300 animals, though "they also [can] aggregate in groups of up to 10,000 animals." (@AWF_Official). Within herds, females form groups with mutliple generations of offspring & travel in & out of males' territories. #2021MMM
Red Hartebeest are also the fastest antelope in Africa, able to run 75km/hr over short distances. Despite this, they are for the most part sedentary. #FasterThanAStoat #2021MMM

1/ What an honor it was to receive the 1st Mary Sears Medal from ⁦@TOSOceanography⁩ at #OSM20 & to have a chance to recognize a remarkable scientist & true pioneer. It’s hard to appreciate how challenging her circumstances were, but I can begin to imagine some of the...
2/ ...barriers she faced because her life was chronologically between my grandmother’s & my mother’s. They, too, were professional women. Their stories, passion, & achievements inspired me. My grandmother was only 18y older than Mary Sears; Mary was 12 yr older than my mom...
3/...All 3 were trailblazers extraordinaire. My grandmother received her MD in 1912. Was the 1st woman admitted to med school in the Carolinas. Getting there was not easy. She was repeatedly rejected. #Neverthelessshepersisted Unusual for the time, she sought an appt w the Dean..

@ewarren was brilliant & #NeverthelessShePersisted fighting for democracy.
Our 3 branches of government are designed as checks & balances. If the Legislature has become too partisan, the Judiciary must protect norms of Justice in America. @teamwarren

@ewarren @TeamWarren Of course the Senators should do their jobs. @ewarren is doing her job asking these important questions in the Senate hearing, even as @teamwarren is campaigning with @IAforWarren. Yet this insightful question builds trust that she is the President America needs now. #GOTC
However, if tomorrow reaches a stalemate, and Chief Justice Roberts is put in the position of deciding to call witnesses, it makes us proud that @ewarren anticipated the situation and has put him on call.

Real talk, I’m from Cleveland & everyone in my family was told that we were Erie on our grandmother’s side. I proudly told dang near everyone I ever met.

I was “six years ago” years old when @Ancestry told me #Nope!

Folks need to lay off @ewarren about that for real for real.
Further, I have checked black and Native American on a form before. Why? Because my family said I was part Erie and I was PROUD to be.

Who wouldn’t be proud to be a part of the Native American community?!

Again, I didn’t find out I wasn’t, until 2014.
ANYONE who can’t see or understand how this could happen and who INSIST on continuing to vilify @ewarren over this even after I and many others have shared that they too were told they were part Native American & BELIEVED it...

Your agenda is showing.

I’m guessing this is about the “source” in the sealed envelopes Brennan gave Obama.
