๐ง @FedSocRTP: Our @senatorshoshana talks to @moflatley about how states steal Social Security funds from orphans, keeping in mind many kids in foster care will face poverty later in life https://t.co/3jxxFC4LhO
Thank you, Chief Justice Blacklock, for highlighting the need to reform grounds for terminating parental rights - the "civil death penalty" - and calling for the complete elimination of the misused and constitutionally suspect Subsection O.
SCOTX Chief Justice Blacklock said using the stateโs authority to take children from their parents should be the last resort, likening the action to a civil death penalty. https://t.co/jNLwM0M5pc
Excellent read from @BillPeacock3: "If we are going to truly restore the original constitutional structure for our nation, we must look to Bible to understand how God designed the world to work and civil governmentโs role in it..."
There are three foundational elements of a biblical civil government: 1) Liberty: The Purpose of Civil Government; 2) Decentralization: The Design of Civil Government; & 3) Servant Rulers: The Limits on Civil Government. Read about them below: ๐
@Carine_tsobg Yes, the key word here is โfamilyโ housing. Not all housing is of equal value. High-density, urban housing does not advance family or civil society. Texas should not advance UN-priority, urban hive dwelling.
The palpable bloodthirst for the democide of #RobertRoberson is really sad, and reflects a deep ignorance of the 'science' of 'child abuse pediatrics,' generally, and 'shaken baby syndrome,' specifically.
Thanks to the brave #txlege members and advocates fighting this injustice.
Texas is about to put a father to death based on junk science.
Even lead detective disagrees: โI have come to believe that Nikki died of accidental and natural causes. I am convinced that she was not murdered. Roberson is innocent. There was no crime.โ

When hospitals report mothers to child welfare authorities based on an incredibly unreliable test, they end up removing perfectly healthy children from loving, responsible parents. https://t.co/KF8IAiXMfq

Earlier this year, a friend of mine almost had his young daughter taken from him in California just because he wanted her to wait a few years to permanently transition.
He talked the police out of taking her when they came to his house.
That day, he left California with his family.
Shame on you @startelegram for this histrionic piece of safetyism. No wonder parents are stressed out and children are anxious. Yes, children under 12 can be left safely at home. They are competent and capable of independence. You will not be arrested. ๐

@ChuckDeVore Come on, Chuck. Heโs been through enough. He just wants his Apple Watch. Mom has dinner on the table and he needs to get home. Sacrifice on behalf of the oppressed has its limits.
@VanceGinn "[Government as an additional source of finance ...] is a honey that has led persons in industry after industry to support and promote government involvement, which has reacted ultimately against them."
In 2017, Texas had 30,000 in @TexasDFPS care. Now, there are fewer than 16,000. Texas has reduced the number of children separated from their families in measured, thoughtful ways over four legislative sessions. This is a model for family justice. https://t.co/mohCELTO4g
