@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 &
@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....

I’ve been screened numerous times when I’ve been called for #JuryDuty or when I’ve had to go to the local #SocialSecurity office. One time I had a 4 inch nail scissors in my pocketbook when I went..

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@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....
@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:
