Small but mighty crew: #Adequate contributors meet up at #4C26

Displayed books on a table with Adequate among them

Y’all. 2008 was my first #CCCC and I didn’t think it was possible to see a book I had a hand in making among the available books in my field. So happy to see #Adequate in the wild #4C26

“I’m not going to restrain him” is literally what checks in that “checks and balances” stuff is. The abdication of congressional power is as horrific as this administration.

ProPublica Sues Education Department for Withholding Records About Discrimination in Schools Under Secretary Linda McMahon, the work of the Office for Civil Rights, which aims to protect students from discrimination, is cloaked in secrecy.

NEW: ProPublica has sued the Department of Education in federal court, accusing it of withholding public records about how it’s enforcing civil rights protections for millions of U.S. students.

I'm on a podcast! And @timothyoleksiak.bsky.social too! Come listen to us promote Adequate: Rewriting the Logics of Success in Rhetoric and Composition. We're a fucking delight, if I do say so myself.

Like straight up just bombed a dude out of existence. Because you ended a deal that — though not perfect — held it together in the Middle East.

And you make it worse?!

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

This is a bad idea.

If you oppose the attack on Iran, get ready for McFascist and his supporters to toggle between "This isn't a war" to avoid legal responsibility for atrocities and "We're at war!" so they can accuse us of treason.

It makes me feel things. Things I’m not ashamed of feeling 🤪😈

Egg is one of the best characters in this GoT world. This season is like what happens when you put a short story on tv.

Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

I say we strive for 10 with hard stop at 15.

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

We'll let their words speak for themselves.

I’m so proud of you 🥹

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes. The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security has had to correct information provided to at least five states after its SAVE voter tool misidentified some voters as noncitizens, according to correspondence between state and federal officials.

#NBC you got 400 journalists covering the Olympics and you still have ten-15 minutes of dead air? 🤔

Exactly. This young man has had a 13-win streak. He’s still great and his career isn’t over.
