Perhaps this was true at one time, I do not know. I know my daughter is on Financial Aid as well as many daughters of white families. And, my daughter had highs and lows and has always been supported at the school. You all know nomenclature is important.

@GiniaNYT Hi. Its time for a language adjustment. Please stop writing that non-wealthy or non-white students are "On Scholarship" at Independent schools like Brearely, Dalton, Collegiate, or Hewitt (where my daughter is a student.)

[Minaya @MinayaZzz]

On scholarship makes it sound like a) parents don't pay any tuition at all, and b) that these alleged "scholarship" students MUST be the best students in the school and will be quickly turned out if any change occurs in their grades.

@mihirzaveri The problem with so called affordable housing is its too expensive. I like my neighborhood, I want to stay here but for years I wanted a 2nd bedroom. All of the lotteries would require me to pay 50% of my monthly income. I'm still sleeping in my living room.

@andylocal What I don't understand about this Top 50 list is - if you know this person is in such bad shape why don't they put them on AOT allowing the person to be hospitalized immediately and compelled to take medication? Am I missing s9mething

Either Barry Goldwater or Dave Brubeck.

@TheBeatWithAri BTW What Happened to Joe Tacopina's Face?

[Minaya @MinayaZzz]

@TheBeatWithAri Ari why do you bother with these thug lawyers? Don't answer that! You always get them to mess up! Carry on!

Further proof that we are deep in fascistic waters. #WalgreensHatesWomen

[Jennifer Roche 💙✏️✂️⚖️🟧🎾🛸 @JenniferRocheUS]

Hey - look at @Walgreens saying they “champion” “every community’s” health when @JuddLegum shows they gave almost $500k to anti abortion committees since 2016. @GovPritzker

[Minaya @MinayaZzz]

@FightRacism1 I am very angry. This is further evidence that we are deep in fascistic waters.

[Minaya @MinayaZzz]

@aintscarylarry Throwing out the baby with the bath water! God help us.

[Minaya @MinayaZzz]

@davidmweissman @gtconway3d I wish you were right, but I don't think so.

[Minaya @MinayaZzz]

@Mitt Romney called #WhoEverHeisSantos an ass
at the State of the Union. Thanks Mitt.

[Minaya @MinayaZzz]

@maddow No one should be surprised that #WhoeverHeisSantos
did not look embarrassed. He is a sociopath. In his mind he has gotten over, big time.

[Minaya @MinayaZzz]

@blorenzo @michaelharriot That is fucked up, but it was blatant so maybe you could de-program yourself. I think a lot of people get the same message covertly and you believe the lies you are told. I did for a long time sadly.

[Minaya @MinayaZzz]

@michaelharriot I had to watch it because I love movies and I had to see what the bruhaha was about, and I was not aware of myself as a Black person. Some scholars believe,and I agree, the Black characters are subversive and have inherent powers.But it is pro-segregation propaganda at its best.

[Minaya @MinayaZzz]

@SenSanders I heard your State of the working class and what really hit me was when you talked about the stress of living paycheck to paycheck as a parent.This has been my entire existence as a human being.I pray this will not be my daughter's life too.

@VicenteFoxQue Horrible!

[Charles P. Pierce @CharlesPPierce]

He should consider—just as a suggestion—starting with simple facts, like "who he is" and "where his money comes from." https://t.co/3Ya6aRz8dj
