“It’s not just these two reporters’ fates that are at stake here—and that’s important enough—but also the fundamental, constitutional right of a free press.”

Two journalists are set to be tried in Kentucky this week.

Their crime? Covering a protest of the immigration detainment of Ayman Soliman, who himself fled persecution for his journalism in Egypt. Soliman’s lawyer called it a “cruel irony.”

On trial for journalism in Kentucky.

Two months after their arrests while covering a protest, a pair of local reporters face criminal charges.

Going back to my “roots” a bit this year with book-whisperer-style reading joy in my advisory.

Forever thankful to @donalynbooks.bsky.social who left such a mark on my practice so many years ago.

Doctors Without Borders has suspended operations in Gaza City because of the danger to its staff caused by the Israeli military’s ground offensive. The announcement came on the same day that the UN said four hospitals had been rendered unusable in the north of the territory over the past month.

“I’m actually very scared all the time,” he said in an interview. The trick, Chavarria said, is to not let that fear keep him from doing what he believes duty to his community demands.”

Can confirm we should let Girl Scouts run everything. In a post-apocalyptic scenario, they would be very helpful.

Totally!

This is not meant to be punitive, but really about providing needed support to young people who are struggling.

I don’t think we can just stop at removal, for some students it requires going deeper to get at the root 💛

The other thing our school has done, which I SUPER appreciate is connect students who are really struggling with distance from their phone with our abuse prevention coordinator (recognizing the role of addiction).

They do hang onto them. We also have updated attendance policies that help limit time out of the room.

As a school community, it feels like we’re being pretty consistent- which also seems helpful 💛

I’m so sorry.

That is where most of my students report having seen it, too.
