According to the latest map from the US Drought Monitor, pretty much all of Albemarle County is in an “extreme drought.”
A screenshot from the us drought monitor website that shows a significant portion of Virginia is in extreme drought (indicated in red). Parts closer to the state border are in a severe drought (indicated in orange), while a tiny sliver towards southeast Virginia is in a moderate drought (indicated in light orange)

The push for institutional neutrality, like the so-called “free-speech crisis,” was always a right wing ploy to get universities to stop pointing out obvious things like “fascists are ascendant” and “racism is bad.” It is sad that so many university “leaders” took the bait.

PA, being a Quaker state, automatically granted enslaved people freedom after a certain amount of contiguous time residing in the state. To get around this during his time in Philly, Washington would regularly send his slaves to NJ or DE to make sure they didn't meet the requirements to be freed.
