  13. #CloseReading for today: "DeSantis blamed the state Department of Education — “I wasn’t involved,” he claimed — but also defended the abomination: “They’re probably going to show that some of the folks that eventually parlayed, you know, being a blacksmith into doing things later in life.” No, I "don't know" (that "you know" sounds really pathetic) because it's NOT knowledge. It's fiction or what #EugeneRobinson in this #Washingtonpost opinion calls "obscene." washingtonpost.com/opinions/20 (paywalled)

  14. #CloseReading for today: Can we please agree that "woke" is a #verb (I woke up and wanted #coffee immediately), and not an #adjective and most certainly not a #noun, as #DeSantis is now insisting on. And once we've agreed to that, can we then agree that in its current usage #woke is a #synonym for #antifascist? @atrupar, @jayrosen_nyu

  16. #CloseReading for today: It's odd that this article, which focuses on the #Target in South #Florida, refers to the location as South #Florida. That covers a lot of territory. Why #WashingtonPost? Is this yet another instance of capitulation and fear (of more #violence against #LGBTQ) speaking? Or not speaking? Both #Target and #Kohls didn't respond to a request for comment. washingtonpost.com/business/20 (paywalled)

  17. Today's #CloseReading: "at times" took on the vibe of a campaign rally. No, "at times." "dragging it to the political center." No, to the far right (where "alternative facts" live, where #EJCarroll is defamed again, where the moderator is called "nasty"). “I don’t need people to be loyal to Chris Licht. I need people to be loyal to CNN,” Licht told Alberta during one of their final conversations." No, don't refer to yourself in the 3rd person. What about loyalty to facts? thehill.com/homenews/4031870-c
