University of Florida apologizes after students are shoved off stage during graduation ceremony. What do you think? Did the administrator get too aggressive? #fox35 https://t.co/jZZvSnJUON

So in awe of this song & video. It has a lot of layers to it..carefully put together and powerful #ThisIsAmerica https://t.co/fckHPz6ReG

[John Axford @JohnAxford]

Amazing. Intense. Brilliant. I can’t find enough words to describe the #ThisIsAmerica music video and song. I can’t stop watching it. I can’t stop listening to it. @donaldglover, you are an incredible genius.

@_shutuplaila Yes! I have seen it, great great documentary!! #SUSocialWork

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

Wow! What a powerful museum. The correlation between the two subjects is scary. I would love to visit one day. #SUSocialWork #massincarceration https://t.co/P2PCWiaWF3

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

Offensive? MASS incarceration is real & happening. If you ignore it or “down play” the seriousness of it nothing will change about it. #SUSocialWork https://t.co/BmSEPRjSoH

[Peter Maass @maassp]

Overlooked in the praise for James Comey's book: Comey told Barack Obama that the phrase "mass incarceration" was offensive to the law enforcement community. https://t.co/T4s192UZst

@HaileyACraig @AlyssaLatta1 This IS very true. I have learned first hand that myself how important it is to take care of self. If not, you can not give your best help to the people who need your help!! #Selfcarefirst #SUSocialWork

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

@chrisconte Great!!! Glad to hear that someone was so very brave to stand up & help people in need. We need more people who don’t mind helping others. One reason why I choose to be a social worker, to help! #SUSocialWork

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

@DascheHall I agree. It seems logical. I think it could only help our society. #SUSocialWork

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

@ndavis4_ This really bothers me to read about yet again!! I really just do not understand why gun violence has to be the answer to some individuals 😔 #SUSocialWork

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

@HaileyACraig Wow, unfortunate. I think that there need to be action taken street level as well. Kids need to know that turning to guns and violence is not the way to solve and hurt or anger. #SUSocialWork

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

Now the government will officially have their hands in the marijuana industry, and now that it has happened “marijuana is okay” under certain conditions.. #SUSocialWork https://t.co/Lr60FTb08B

[WUSA9 @wusa9]

The marijuana industry is the fastest growing job category in the U.S. https://t.co/0SFCWe6F6M

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

Whew, thoughts? 👀 #SUSocialWork https://t.co/qKVwt1pi4x

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

It’s really something to watch powerful white people enter the marijuana market to make millions while black & brown kids are still locked up for it.

It’s *also* worth remembering that the narrative of prisons being primarily filled with “nonviolent drug offenders” isn’t true.

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

@ScottHech I agree, there is so much more to #BLM! I am glad it is in place to bring awareness to the many issues of education, equality, and health ect. #SUsocialwork

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

@AlyssaLatta1 Great link you have here. Very informative as bullying continues & is even more harsh now due to social media #SUsocialwork

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

@AlyssaLatta1 There should be decent materials, and school for these children. We have to do right by our children if we expect great things from them as they grow up to be the next leaders of the world! #SUSocialWork

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

Should offenders who are in jail for marijuana charges be given a reduced sentence in the states where it is now legal? #SuSocialwork #massincarceration

[Akia Waters @AkiaAwaters3]

So I know I can NOT be the only one who gets angry at hearing this story. This is unjust. While contributing to the growing issue of mass incarceration, the system let this young child DOWN!!! #LakeithSmith #SuSocialwork https://t.co/4W1r0vQcQG
