@Ballsagna925 @angela4LNCChair @StopAntisemites @LPNational Wow, antisemitic, using an exclusionist slur, and a name that inspires the confidence of 12 year old boys and perhaps 30-somethings playing video games in their mama's basement. You sound awesome and I'm totally going to take your comment to heart 😂
English

@MsNicoleAbrams @angela4LNCChair @StopAntisemites @LPNational You're r3tarded. That's not a trope, it's just reality.
English

The Libertarian Party of NH is back with their grotesque antisemitism.
How much more bigotry will you allow before party affiliation is pulled @LPNational?

@davidwees For me- wear noise reducing headphones, wrap in a blanket, go somewhere quiet, watch something mindless
This is just what has specifically worked for my kids
English

@davidwees any age- looking at a photo album, play with a pet, have a snack, draw/craft, brush hair (only if no knots), quiet place
1-10: scratch n sniff, lava lamp, putty, swing
6-13 crowd: read w/flashlight, journal
Teens: music, doodle/adult coloring books, scented candles, paint
English

@Dsrussosusan Now I'm going to have to scour our 8th grade math book to see what language is used. Except for year 1 of teaching, I've spent the past 15 years ignoring textbooks! And I say "a reflection over/across"
English

@JasonAblin I give the kids a ton of credit that they even let him finish. That POS didn't deserve to be heard out past his first sentence.
English

@Thalesdisciple @ClaudioJacobo so how does algebraic geometry fits in this ?
English

@adam071373 @yossy770 FYI the schools that had the lowest test scores were from the same Hasidic sect that endorsed Hochul. And the vast majority of Orthodox Jews on Twitter send their children to schools that outperform their public counterparts. Not sure who you're preaching to re: kids.
English

@yossy770 You are using your using your own children as pawns. It is terrible. And that you have to turn to Zeldin who is intermarried Reform Jew who palls around with real anti-Semties and election deniers says all we need to know. I'm sure some Jews want to be MAGA Jews.
English

@DailyGrumbles @corviphobia @moneycatfinance @StrikeDebt Well toddlers do it all day long. "If I can't have this shiny new toy, NOBODY can!!" But in her case, the sentiment well tucked behind her claim of harm-by-exclusion in the process (aka no public comment period) and executive overreach.
English

@MsNicoleAbrams @corviphobia @moneycatfinance @StrikeDebt Interestingly enough, Myra Brown COULD discharge her loan debt via Chp 7 since they're privately held if she passed the means test.
Her loans are not eligible under Biden's forgiveness program, so it's odd that's she can claim she's been harmed by this program.

English

@DailyGrumbles @corviphobia @moneycatfinance @StrikeDebt I'll take your experience at your word. I wouldn't think college is riskier though if we're talking fedloans. The max total undergrad is about 30k for a dependent student and 57k for independent. IME ppl outlay far more than that for a business. I'd be interested in data though.
English

@MsNicoleAbrams @corviphobia @moneycatfinance @StrikeDebt I work at Bankruptcy Law Firm & have never seen, nor know of any attorney who's witnessed a successful adversary proceeding to discharge a Stafford loan for someone who hasn't been catastrophically injured or dead.
Once again, running a business is less risk than college.
English

@DailyGrumbles @corviphobia @moneycatfinance @StrikeDebt This is actually a myth. Discharge isn't guaranteed, but it's pretty feasible. It just takes an extra action filed and heard within the bankruptcy.
English

@MsNicoleAbrams @corviphobia @moneycatfinance @StrikeDebt You can file for Bankruptcy Protection on a failed business. You can not discharge Federal College Loan. They're with you for life, so it's actually riskier to go to college than run a business.
English

@corviphobia @moneycatfinance @DailyGrumbles @StrikeDebt Exactly what I was going to say. Owning a business is one of the riskier ventures one might take.
English

@NateReal58 @BAPearlmutter @ztalpnielk @MikeNew19512115 Are you serious? The first screenshot from jta is about rabbis greeting Leopold *3* upon ascendance of the throne-- a politically savvy move considering the Holocaust was right around the corner. The other screenshot is completely fake.
English

@angela4LNCChair @StopAntisemites @LPNational Nice try playing it down but tweet is saying Israel *owns* our politicians & is not simply pointing out lobbying. It's just another iteration of the antisemitic trope "Jews control everything." Israel is a Jewish state. This is not about govt; it's about misinformation and hate.
English

@StopAntisemites @LPNational Israel does lobby our government. Pointing that out is no insult to Jewish people. The problem is government, not ethnicity or religion.
English

How would YOU solve 7/4 of 6?

@campaignyehudi @OMTorah I'm aware, and I qualified my statement as referring to the US, where minority status is a huge focus. What Americans see as Jewish here, they associate with worldwide Jewry. Ftr I'm married to an Iraqi-Syrian 100% sefardi and my husband and all our kids are white to the world.
English

@Dean_of_math I'd wander on over to #desmos. Also, I really like the @NewVisionsNYC algebra curriculum. It's a free open resource

@OMTorah I will add that Ive benefited from my whiteness like other white non Jews so it's not unreasonable to not be seen as a minority. Yet of course I've experienced antisemitism. But as we don't separate the Jew from the person, others can't seem to separate the whiteness from the Jew
English

@OMTorah If we're grouping by religion, there are others as well. The issue is that we're a religion& also a people, &as a people, we're predominantly white in the US. Bc whiteness is associated w/systemic racism, it's convenient 2 ignore history& roll with what we look like and have now
