I spoke to @BetoORourke at the Texas Capitol yesterday, he said that he hoped if Democrats walked they'd go to DC and sit on the steps of the Capitol, forcing their federal counterparts to walk by them, realizing they haven't done enough to help.
During #NASW2021, a reminder that our new Code of Ethics says "Social workers must take action against oppression, racism, discrimination, & inequities"
This means social workers MUST actively work to dismantle the police, prisons, & foster care. It's our ethical responsibility.
@normative They backed the bakery who didn’t want to make a cake for the same sex wedding. What about religious beliefs that protecting employees/customers Covid by implementing some rules is important? Our governor needs to be voted out. Wish we could turn TX Blue for real
Foster patents as partners of this boy's Guatemalan parents prevented the state of Florida from cashing in on the ASFA bonus and send him instead to his real forever home with his parents. https://t.co/wDHa0IeYmT
The NYT says white evangelicals aren’t getting vaccinated because they think only God can save them
and I’m like wait aren’t all clergy contractually obligated to tell the ‘I sent you a jeep, a raft and a helicopter’ joke every 3 years?
This is the product of months of work with @NancyAFrench. The inside story of the worst sex abuse scandal you’ve never heard of. How a super-predator was able to operate in an immense Christian camp for a decade-plus despite red flag after red flag: https://t.co/kQyXo3WjMJ
Stop glamorizing “the grind” and start glamorizing getting 7+ hours of sleep at night, having healthy relationships, feeling safe at work, taking sick days, being paid a living wage, working hard when you’re at work, boundaries, and self-caring your way to success.
Amazing how much the psuedo-populist right loves to rail against Silicon Valley and Bezos and yet not one of them, as far as I can tell, has come out in support of Amazon workers trying to organize.
Day 2 of #uconncampaignschool and it’s been a full day. So far I’m reminded to be at least 51% brave, and that voter registration and getting out the vote is a social work intervention. This has been two days full of insight and motivation.
In an effort to grow my roots in political social work, I’m attending the #UConncampaignschool for social workers. First day was insightful and engaging. I’m ready for day 2!
@JohnCornyn@tedcruz I urge you to Cosponsor and support the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (H.R. 6210 & S. 3471). This bill will ensure that the sale of products in our American markets are not supporting the brutal oppression of Uyghurs in China! #endforcedlabor
