Amer. Meteorological Soc. (@ametsoc) just issued a (fully justified) dire statement regarding rapidly accelerating & potentially disastrous efforts to decimate weather & climate enterprise in U.S. If implemented, this would cost many lives & cause major/ long-term economic harm.

Let these Sen Murkowski words sink in. SHE IS "AFRAID" > and if you are not, you probably should be.

“We are all afraid,” Murkowski said, taking a long pause. “It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.” https://t.co/wLbLciKBY4

WATCH: “We had the worst reading scores for eighth graders in thirty years and nobody—not a governor, not a mayor, not a president, not a secretary of education—has talked about it.” @RahmEmanuel via @billmaher @RealTimers

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Thank you for your exemplary diplomatic service, Madame Ambassador @USAmbFrance ! You served both France and The United States brilliantly. You will be missed in this role! 🇫🇷🇺🇸

@LJ198767 Indeed it was not, but Lucy never name or claimed that. She just made it the teachers' and the students' problem to discover her instructional weaknesses and adapt or subsidize on their own. Their parents had to pay for extra tutors if they needed more than she offered.

[kyle redford @kyleredford]

Lucy Calkins has long been dismissive of questions about what strategies her program included to support struggling readers. I witnessed her explain to a church full of ~1000 reading teachers that "#Dyslexia was over diagnosed". No special strategies needed. That's all we got.

[Christopher Peak @CLPeak]

Attorneys in Massachusetts just filed a class-action lawsuit against Heinemann and its authors Calkins, Fountas and Pinnell in state court over what they allege are “deceptive” and “defective” reading programs. https://t.co/iDDL8gkFvP

@markseidenberg Couldn’t agree more.

[kyle redford @kyleredford]

The root of the literacy breakdown: “Lacking adequate professional training from schools of education, they are dependent on charismatic self-appointed authorities such as Calkins” @markseidenberg 🎯

[kyle redford @kyleredford]

It’s hard to consider someone who so out of step with #dyslexia research and best practices a “Prominent Literacy Expert”. His language, lack of knowledge & professionalism actually make him a more of a literacy saboteur. #saydyslexia

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not.

Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned.

Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

[kyle redford @kyleredford]

This is one of the most illuminating talks about reading and dyslexia I have ever heard. I can't recommend it enough to anyone interested in brain science and reading. Thank you @StanDehaene @PlanetWordDC and @ehanford

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

This talk by @StanDehaene at @PlanetWordDC is fascinating. He finishes with reflections on how teachers can use science to help them teach. "I'm a strong advocate of what I think every scientist in the field believes..." https://t.co/78yOGXe8SJ
