With others, I salute #HelenVendler, her rare mind for poetry, esp. #JohnAshbery, & her good heart. I have story or two, but nothing to match this, from #RitaDove:
This week on #ViewpointsRadio: 🎙 @NPRKelly shares her story of balancing motherhood with a long-spanning, demanding career in journalism. 👨⚖️ @ben_austen questions the subjective nature of seeking parole from prison. 🎧 ➡️ ow.ly/Wrtz50QN5o3
Columbia's president prostrated herself in front of congress, had hundreds of students arrested and suspended, committed to suspending students and firing professors for pro Palestinian speech, yet they still want her to resign. It's never enough.
In @nytopinion “You don’t have to like anti-Israel language or activism to be worried about congressional demands to suppress it,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes after Columbia University’s president, Nemat Shafik, testified on Wednesday. nyti.ms/3Q5ZeBq
Thanks to all who joined us at @NonviolenceChi with #Chicago author @ben_austen & @ENDPPIL discussing his new book “Correction” & better systems of release & reentry with @Qwillyleads, @MarlonChamberl1 & Johnnie Khalif Veal-paroled after 51 years in prison! 🔥 #SecondChanceMonth

April is Second Chance Month. Join me and my friends @JoyceFdn, @ENDPPIL & @NonviolenceChi for talk about my book Correction & better systems of release & reentry. We’ll be joined by Johnnie Khalif Veal, paroled after 51 yrs in prison. Register and come out for a great event.
Homicides are plummeting. In all 10 cities with the most 2023 homicides—for which we have data—homicides are falling. The pandemic crime wave is crashing hard. If these percentage decline numbers were percentage growth numbers, it would be the lede of every cable news show—>
Livestream Alert! Senior VP of @thefortunesoc, Dr. Ronald F. Day held a conversation with Journalist @ben_austen on his take about the parole system and what is it needed to improve it as a correction tool. Watch at facebook.com/mnnelbarriofir…
Disillusioned with your current evening plans? Why not come to Boswell instead for our insightful speaker, @BenjaminBHerold and his latest, a book The Atlantic calls: "an astonishingly important work." In conversation with @emrichards. Register/more info: benjaminheroldmke.eventbrite.com
This is terrifying. Not the headline... I'm familiar with the science. No, what's terrifying is how far I had to dig through my news notifications to find this story. What's terrifying is that this headline is not #trending on every social media platform. 1/4
REMINDER: Please join us next Wednesday, April 17 at 4:30PM for this #SecondChanceMonth book talk with @ben_austen hosted by @ENDPPIL at @NonviolenceChi. More details below.

I was in the Oval Office with Trump when he said a WH staffer he believed leaked an embarrassing story about him should be executed. We may want to take this line of argument from Trump’s attorney extremely seriously.
