white women need to do some deep listening, and reflecting on the fact that over half of y'all voted for 🎃 again. Black women *especially* don't want to hear "it wasn't me, I'm one of the good ones" right now. I want you to organize your own communities. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I want y'all to organize your own communities, give up your seats of power, leave your jobs where you "serve women of color" and go. go organize your own folks because your apathy, conflict avoidance and desire to feel comfortable is putting the rest of us in danger.

we don't need any more of you to be social workers, teachers in low-income schools, non-profit professionals. we need you to spend time in your own communities instead of believing you're saving us. we're good. you need to go save yourselves and your communities.

Good morning ☀️ We do not need to unify with the Republicans. Please kill that talking point. Why would we revive a political party that first tried to prevent a free & fair election from occurring & now seeks to overthrow the results in a fascist coup? 1/

Do not use derogatory terms, such as insane, crazy/crazed, nuts or deranged, unless they are part of a quotation that is essential to the story. Avoid using mental health terms to describe unrelated issues. Don’t say that an awards show, for example, was schizophrenic.

Can we please get people stimulus checks and mortgage relief and rent forgiveness and small business support and free testing and hazard pay and healthcare for the uninsured (& underinsured) in the middle of a pandemic or is that too socialist too?

Stop trying to make Kevin happen, it’s not going to happen. #ThisIsUs

Hmm. What do you call a billionaire who registered a $40 million, 164-foot yacht in the Cayman Islands to avoid $2.4 million in U.S. taxes, while undermining public schools? The worst Education Secretary in the history of America. Bye-bye, Betsy DeVos. You won't be missed.

Republicans are going to act like the difference between $600 and $1,200 is no big deal. This is infuriating. I’ve been unhoused. I’ve lived paycheck-to-paycheck. The difference of $600 is having a hotel room or sleeping in the car. $1,200 was already the compromise.

Chicago PD handcuffed a Black woman with guns drawn, while she was naked during a raid at the wrong house. Just so we're clear, that is state sanctioned sexual violence & misogynoir. That woman was #AnjanetteYoung, an #LCSW social worker. Black women (1/3) washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/12…

experience violence at the hands of the state far too often. It's not enough for @NASW to condemn the actions of the police & @chicagosmayor. Social work as a profession must commit to divesting from police. Empty platitudes without structural change mean NOTHING. (2/3)

White #SocialWorkers, are you willing to be uncomfortable? are you willing to lose credentialing, to lose out on jobs in order to divest from police? WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO TO KEEP #AnjanetteYoung AND ALL BLACK PEOPLE SAFE? #SocialWork #DefundThePolice (3/3)

Republicans want to try to kill the pigeon lady Democrats want to give the pigeon lady a turtle dove ornament Progressives want to help get the pigeon lady into sustainable long-term housing, a wardrobe not covered in feces, maybe some therapy

Well that escalated steadily for four years.

If you’re looking for ways to get connected, show support, Red Canary Song, AAPI Women Lead, Stop AAPI Hate, Mekong NYC are great organizations to follow. #StopAsianHate

In Oklahoma, if a 13 year old girl is sexually abused and becomes pregnant, her abuser could spend as little as one year in jail & pay as little as a $500 fine. But the doctor who helps her terminate her traumatic pregnancy can now face 10 YEARS in prison & a $100,000 fine.
