@amyalexca.bsky.socialNot dunking on a teen but: During last evening’s #NationalCivicsBee in DC (carried live @c-span.bsky.social) one of the contestants could not name a single First Lady. Might’ve been stage fright, might’ve been an unexpected gap in her Prep (these were after all Middle-Schoolers). Still, I despaired🤦🏽♀️
@amyalexca.bsky.social*tbc, the co-sponsor of this #NationalCivicsBee live event and cable cast is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce—which is not the same as the U.S. Department of Commerce. Anyways, pls tune in rn @c-span.bsky.social as it jumps in with live coverage while tech issues are resolved. 🖲️🎥 📜🇺🇸
@amyalexca.bsky.socialOh! @c-span.bsky.social to the rescue: apparently the IRL tech problems at the US Chamber of Commerce venue require heavy lifting to repair. This LIVE event is co-sponsored by @c-span.bsky.social, which now is providing onsite coverage while the Tech problems are resolved 🙏🏾📟🖲️ #NationalCivicsBee
