@DeborahAppleman @CarletonCollege @MNPrisonWriting @ncte @PENamerica Interactive infographic demonstrating the number of Americans jailed or imprisoned—the longer you scroll, the more deeply disturbing the numbers become. mkorostoff.github.io/incarceration-…

Thanks to @CarletonCollege and @davidschmike for this lovely piece about two amazing men and the power of education for the incarcerated. carleton.edu/voice/stories/… @MNPrisonWriting @CarletonCollege @NCTE @PENamerica @ErickGordon Read more here: wwnorton.com/books/97803937…

@DeborahAppleman @CarletonCollege @MNPrisonWriting @ncte @PENamerica I just read two of the letters from Inside Out with my tenth grade students. Creating platforms for these men to tell their stories in their own voices is such important work.

@edutopia Play.

What unconventional or surprising advice would you give a new teacher?

I am in awe of these young Americans who so bravely shared their mental health journeys in @KenBurns’ new @PBS documentary, Hiding In Plain Sight. I had the honor of meeting many of them a few weeks ago, and I hope their courageous stories will help others, too.

The newly created Disinformation Board should review this tweet, or maybe they need to form a new Non Sequitur Board instead. Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection.

@realDonaldTrump @RudyGiuliani In 1998, acting Mayor Rudolph Giuliani placed over 700 community gardens in NYC up for disposition to private interests. These gardens had acted as healthy community centers for decades in some of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. It was an evil act by a deranged man. @karma

.@RudyGiuliani, by far the greatest mayor in the history of NYC, and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election (by far!) in the history of the USA, has tested positive for the China Virus. Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!!

@hunterw 28 years and I still remember you on stage for the Mockingbird Monologues. You were so principled for a 13-year old—balanced with a sense of humor (too rare of a combination). I’m proud to see you out in the world pushing back—and still smiling!

@unleashthetea @realDonaldTrump It's "an 80% chance," not "a 80% chance." The basic rule to follow if you get confused is that “a” goes before words that start with a consonant sound, and “an” before words that start with a vowel sound.

WE WILL WIN!

@eugenegu What evidence do you have that he’s human?

Trump is my political enemy. I vow to fight him with every fiber of my being. But I don’t wish the coronavirus on anyone—not even Trump. At the end of the day, he’s still a human being and I hope he recovers from COVID-19 so that he can live to see us vote him out this November.

Old friends talking shop—what's not to love?

@mikandynothem @BarackObama @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @EricTrump @DineshDSouza @chuckwoolery @darhar981 @AMErikaNGIRLLL @LaylaAlisha11 @alley167 @adriandt31 Bone spurs.

Remember the picture of @BarackObama holding an American flag like @realDonaldTrump is doing here? Me neither... #ObamaGate #MAGA #KAG #FoxNews #ItWasGoodUntilItWasnt

@jstines3 @realDonaldTrump A bizarre argument considering NPR is primarily listener supported. How about this instead: @realDonaldTrump stop promoting Fox Network with endorsements that amount to hundreds of millions in free advertising. Now there’s the real (and illegal) “government subsidy”!

@realDonaldTrump If the Dems want NPR, let them pay for it through donations. NO MORE GOV'T SUBSIDIES of RADIO AND TV!

A very good question!

@socialmedia5130 I’m all for getting paid for your work, but sharing vital information about a natural disaster in which people need news to remain safe seems fundamentally different than other types of “tireless” reporting. Perhaps it’s ok to briefly pause from money-making in times of tragedy?

@ErickGordon @sfchronicle @nytimes how would the reporters working tirelessly to collect this valuable accurate data be paid?

News Organizations: please take a timeout from advertising and paywalls during #KincadeFire. Getting blocked as we try to get accurate updates is dangerous (especially those of us that have been evacuated and have limited access to media). @sfchronicle @nytimes #CaliforniaFires

2/2 @DeborahAppleman's "Word's Words No Bars Can Hold" is a necessary reminder—there are over two million people incarcerated in the United States every year, stripped of their dignity and right to participate. These powerful voices NEED to be heard. #prisonindustrialcomplex

Just finished @DeborahAppleman's Words No Bars Can Hold: Literacy Learning in Prison. Hauntingly beautiful. Her students are capable—even brilliant at times. And her work teaching writing celebrates these men, recognizing potential where we as a society have turned our backs...
