How do truancy & the school-to prison-pipeline connect? I explored that and what it meant for students to be sent to court for truancy in the pandemic in a @PublicSourcePA project as part of the @EdWriters New to the Beat program! Check out the story now (longer thread coming)
How do you combat truancy in an era of online ed, hybrid ed, school bus driver shortages and quarantines? @tylisawrites explored Pittsburgh's approach(es) and consulted the experts publicsource.org/pittsburgh-…
I loved this conversation with @EugeneDaniels2. So many gems!
"There is something about you being yourself that gives others permission, at times, to do the same thing. I have felt, often, a lot of love about it, about just fully being myself," he said.
For @Poynter:
“... if the last nine years have taught us anything, it’s that our politics are very confusing and getting more confusing. Less and less are voters sitting in these boxes that they were put in,” @EugeneDaniels2 tells @tylisawrites. tinyurl.com/5n7ce5c3

Incredibly proud of @rachelvscott and @kadiagoba today. Substantive but tough questioning.
NABJ leadership made a decision grounded in journalism to have Trump come answer questions. And it produced one of the newsiest interviews with him this year.
so many digital archives being axed omg
ComedyCentral. com, had been home to clips from every episode of “The Daily Show” since 1999, and the entire run of “The Colbert Report,” but as of today, the site is gone

Went on NPR’s All Things Considered to talk a bit about horse race journalism after my recent @Poynter article: npr.org/2024/06/11/nx-s1-499…
Still not over this. Because why do the bars work for so many situations???
The truth of the matter? It was God's plan to show y'all the liar.

I don’t know a modern event more horrific & culture shifting for Black people than Hurricane Katrina. We are still identifying remains and will sadly never have a fully accurate number on the amount of lives lost, families displaced, legacies washed away.
Tonette Jackson was presumed missing ever since flood water swept her away when Hurricane Katrina struck. Her body was recovered between two homes in St. Martin and just recently identified thanks to DNA testing. bit.ly/3K5XHIe

He publicly called her a liar. He was so convinced that video would never see the light of day and prove she was telling the truth.

JUST NOW: Marjorie Taylor Greene made a derogatory comment about Rep. Jasmine Crockett and "false eyelashes" during a House committee hearing.
Personal attacks against other members isn't allowed, so AOC requested a motion and asked for an apology which was blocked.
Rep. Crockett responded with:
“I’m just curious, just to better understand your ruling: If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blonde bad built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”
Straight like this
I listened to @MissyElliott's whole discography today along with some features and songs she's produced, and this is why I refuse to participate in discussions about who can compete because there is NO ONE on her level that can do the things she does

Reports of an active shooter at Central Catholic High School in Oakland were a hoax, according to school officials. There was no shooter at the school. A county spokesperson said similar reports were made at two other schools in the area.
