Trumpers & Elon Muskers are flooding my inbox with racist threats because I’m the Founder of @TribelSocial. Apparently, it’s driving them nuts that I’m a Mexican immigrant who created a fast-growing, pro-democracy Twitter alternative. If you have my back, please RT & join Tribel!
Once again, what will it take for social work to stand up and say we will no longer support and collaborate with a system of policing that systematically murders and terrorizes Black and Brown people?
What will it take for social work to say enough is enough?

You can spot the difference between a gun and a taser from a mile away! Do you really think a 26 year veteran cop would get the two confused, especially after holding it out infront of her for so long?! The shooting of #DaunteWright was NO accident.
I have seen the bodycam video of Chicago PD killing 13-YEAR-OLD Adam Toledo. I will not be posting it here or anywhere else. It’s horrifying, traumatic, and another reminder of the police brutality epidemic we continue to face in America — and the urgent need for police reform!!
Mental health is real.
Mental health is important.
We have the power to change the stigma around mental health and suicide, we have to keep talking about it.
Breonna Taylor.

@DrVeroPimentel Hello. I am a Social Justice Change Agent taking actions to address state sanctioned violence, institutional racism, and overal the culture and complexities of White Supremacy.
Declined a speaking invitation for a corporation on racism and mental health because they don’t plan on paying me to do it. I politely stated asking WOC to present about racism to a predominantly white audience for a big corp *unpaid* is a form of structural racism in itself.
This woman DEFACED the #BlackLivesMatter mural at Contra Costa County courthouse on July 4th! We will repaint that mural and you will not silence our collective voice for justice!! #BLM
