This is why I’m a paid subscriber to @DCist - we need quality local press if we want a functioning society. Good news is worth paying for! https://t.co/eyw1Kake09

According to @nytimes’ detailed election map, while the Great Lakes & Chesapeake Bay remained neutral in the Presidential race, both the Potomac & Anacostia Rivers strongly supported @POTUS

This is heartbreaking.

They’ve numbered the plywood used to board up their windows so they can more easily put it back up the next time.

With the assumption that there will be “a next time.”

There are 3 problems with our media that are fueling polarization: 1. The closing of 2,000 local papers, which are typically not very partisan; 2. Cable news maximizing audience share by adopting political stances (Fox); and 3. Social media’s supercharging of conspiracy theories.

To everyone who said they would have supported BLM if only they weren’t harming private property (not even necessarily committed by BLM), please look at these photos and think about your privilege. The people who did this are walking through my home city right now unchecked.

A look at the damage inside the U.S. Capitol: https://t.co/f58PcqANaI

[Christina Henderson @chenderson]

As someone who worked in the United States Capitol for the past 4 years, I am stunned by what we are witnessing. Every day I passed USCP with significant weaponry, was questioned multiple times to see my ID, & have seen USCP use more force with protestors in wheelchairs.

If you're texting your friends in DC asking if we're okay, this right here is what we're worried about.

The Mayor has issued a curfew to begin at 6:00 pm tonight. This is only a few hours away, so please share this news with your friends, colleagues, and loved ones.

Stay tuned for important safety updates from @MayorBowser @DCPoliceDept & @DC_HSEMA.

This week, DC will once again be terrorized by white supremacists who threaten violence against anyone who stands in the way of their vision of nationalism. These invasions have been happening since November, + will continue if we don't respond. A thread 🧵 #DefendDC #DCprotests

"Eat the frog first" is stock productivity advice, meaning "do the worst task first; the rest will seem easy." I ignore it, however, because it doesn't address the urgent whisper arising from the back of mind as I review my to-do list: "Maybe if I wait the frog will eat itself."

@BrookingsEd Can we talk more about school improvement? What can we do to help charters before closure is the only option? #SchoolChoice

[Aimee Evan, PhD @AimeeEvan]

Some of the best...and worst schools are charters. How can we support those schools that need it? How can we identify schools earlier rather than wait for them to fail to address schools that are struggling? #schoolchoice

[Brookings Brown Center @BrookingsEd]

.@DrPrestonGreen wants to see a greater degree of accountability for charter schools under the Biden administration. He cites areas like financial abuse and protections for students of color that deserve more attention. #SchoolChoice

Some panelists mentioned options for personalized learning - how do we get there from our current system? https://t.co/W7nzGGlXHI

"We're fearful that the virus will widen the gaps that are already there."

@TDMartin12 has serious concerns about #COVID19 exacerbating pre-existing disparities between white students and students of color—not just this year, but for years to come. #SchoolChoice

[Dr. Laura M. Groth @LauraGroth2]

What role can #charterschools play in school improvement to help this issue? @BrookingsEd

[Brookings Brown Center @BrookingsEd]

The current American schooling system is not working well, says @usedgov's Jim Blew. "There's about a quarter of students that are simply not getting educated." #SchoolChoice

[Martha W. Alibali @mwalibali]

Many folks (including me) are angry about the suggestion that Jill Biden stop using "Dr". But I am also angry about the comment that her dissertation has an "unpromising" topic. What could be more important for our society than "Student Retention at the Community College Level"??
