@CharlesMBlow 1. Mr. Blow: My parents taught me to treat all human beings like I want to be treated & that I am not to think I am better than any one. I immigrated from Portugal when I was 8 & "assimilated." My friends know this. When I tell new acquaintances my history they are surprised &..
@CharlesMBlow 2. tell me that I don't look POR. The majority of POR look like me: brunette w/brown eyes & a MEDIT complexion. When I point this out & ask why they think that, the person has no idea how to answer. I suspect it is bc I speak ENG like a native speaker. BTW there is a large POR...
@CharlesMBlow 3. IMM comty here so people who've lived here a long time should know what an "average" POR looks like. Imagine how they respond when I tell them that I have family members who are blonde, red heads w/blue or green eyes. I also have a cousin & great uncles who reflect our EUR &
@CharlesMBlow 4. Sub-Saharan ancestry. I then have to explain that due to POR Hx my family may have recent Sub-Saharan ancestors. I could go on forever but this is Twitter. I will say that there are times I feel like a spy in the #EuroAmerican world bc they will say #Hateful #Racist things...
@CharlesMBlow 5. in front of me thinking that I will agree with them. When I try to explain that what they say is #Racist they deny it! It gets so frustrating bc some people don't want to learn anything new! But there is hope!
@CharlesMBlow 6. Some might think that in SE Mass we might not have any diversity. However we do have a variety of ethnic groups, languages & religions represented. And last summer, I was surprised to see #BLM protests in some of our smaller towns!

@GregAbbott_TX @tedcruz 1. So @tedcruz you went to #Cancun to please your daus. Did you check @CDCgov's 2/16 update for Travel During COVID-19? "CDC recommends that you do not travel at this time. Delay travel and stay home to protect yourself and others from COVID-19." It seems to me that your....
@GregAbbott_TX @tedcruz @CDCgov 2. 1st #Responsibility as a father is to #Protect your daus. Did you protect them when you chose to travel to #Mexico or did you endanger them? Perhaps @TexasDFPS should investigate. As a #USSenator shouldn't you be a role model by adhering to....

@GregAbbott_TX @tedcruz @CDCgov @TexasDFPS 3. the #CDC's recommendations? As a father shouldn't you be a #RoleModel for your daus & show them how #ResponsibleCitizens behave? And now you appear to be #Lying about your reason for going to #Cancun. What #Values are you modelling for your daus? #LyingTed #Entitled

1. @JoeNBC @morningmika @Morning_Joe Former teacher here: Once again everyone wants to put in their 2 cents w/o input from those who have to deal w/implementing the policies. You, the politicians, the parents, the scientists, the doctors et al want #AmericanSchools to #Reopen!
2. You need to consider that most school bldgs are more than 50 yrs old. A local HS built circa 1970 has narrow slit like windows that don't open. So much for #Ventilation! #Classrooms are small & don't allow for social distancing. This is further complicated by having....
3. 20-25 #Students per class. Several yrs ago a friend had 32 students in her K-class due to budget cuts! I don't know the number in her class now but I doubt there's been a great change in the number. The kids who take buses to school are on top of each other all the time.

@FrankBruni 1. These people are unbelievable & they’re #InCharge? Either they don’t know our laws or they think that they’re #AboveTheLaw! Americans can’t enter a #FedBldg w/o going thru a #MetalDetector! I’ve been screened numerous times thru the yrs. @mtgreene:
law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18…
@FrankBruni @mtgreene 2. Once I had a 4 inch nail scissors in my pocketbook when I went to my local #SocialSecurity office. I wasn’t allowed to take it past security. I had to leave it with #Security until I finished my business in the building. I’ve also had to go thru a #MetalDetector when....
@FrankBruni @mtgreene 3. I’ve gone into a #StateCourt to serve on a jury. I’ve done this numerous times as well! Now #GOPReps are having #Tantrums about having to go thru the same process we’ve all been doing for ages! What a #DoubleStandard!

@GOPLeader 1. "I think it would be helpful if you could hear exactly what she told all of us. Denouncing Q-on, I don't know if I say it right, I don't even know what it is," McCarthy told reporters on Wednesday....@GOPLeader needs a little reminder:

1. @GOPChairwoman @LeaderMcConnell @GOPLeader @GOP: #GoodLuckNextTime if you, the #GOPEnablers, don't #HoldTrumpAccountable for #IncitingAMob to attack the #Capitol! Five died on 1/6. How many will die next time bc #GOPCongressMembers want to #StayInPower! vimeo.com/504444733
2. #GOPSenators Have you forgotten how close the #CapitolMob got to #VPPence & the #SenateChambers? #CPOGoodman saved your lives! Yet you are unwilling to hold #TrumpTheInciter accountable for his role? Here's another reminder:
3. How about this? How can #GOPSenators pretend that this never happened? If #GOPSenators don't stop #Trump from ever holding #FederalOffice again, then you're giving #TrumpTheInciter permission to do this again. As I said above: #GoodLuckNextTime!

@nytimes 1. @SenWarren @EdMarkey #Murdoch is a #NaturalizedCitizen. He doesn't give a damn about our country! He's only ever cared about increasing his #Wealth. He & @FoxNews sow #Hate & #Division! I honor the #NaturalizationOathOfAllegiance I took in 1968 when I was 14 yrs old.
@nytimes @SenWarren @EdMarkey @FoxNews If I broke my oath as a #USNaturalizedCitizen, I suspect that I would be stripped of my citizenship & deported! The #Murdochs et al are promoting #Sedition & #Insurrection! Strip the #Murdochs of their #NaturalizedCitizenship & #DeportTheMurdochs! #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw!
@nytimes @SenWarren @EdMarkey @FoxNews 3. Per @nytimes: #Murdoch is in the UK "weathering the pandemic." I was told that I would forfeit my citizenship if I lived out of the US for an extended period. Yet he doesn't live here year round & promotes #Sedition & #Insurrection but stays a US citizen. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw
