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)

[Rich Lord @richelord]

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 https://t.co/4wibfki1lx

@thatsjonnyfrank just catching this, thank you for sharing!

[TyLisa C Johnson @tylisawrites]

@michaelkruse @EugeneDaniels2 @Poynter Thank you!!

[TyLisa C Johnson @tylisawrites]

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:

[Michael Kruse @michaelkruse]

“... 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. https://t.co/2zD4JFY01i

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.

@annabelaguiar @Poynter we love to see it

[Annie Aguiar @annabelaguiar]

Went on NPR’s All Things Considered to talk a bit about horse race journalism after my recent @Poynter article: https://t.co/zrtkE6SXnJ

[TyLisa C Johnson @tylisawrites]

I'm curious, too.

[Julie Poptart @juliepoptart]

There were no other mistakes on the citation. I am curious if anyone else has ever had this happen to them, a non-white person getting their race marked as white on a ticket.

[TyLisa C Johnson @tylisawrites]

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.

OMG, can I speak? lmaoooo

[Jewel Wicker @jewelwickershow]

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.

[TyLisa C Johnson @tylisawrites]

@Trapaholic_Ken Yes. CNN exclusive.

[chris evans @notcapnamerica]

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?”

[TyLisa C Johnson @tylisawrites]

@stunnatiff He did, yes
