there's no denying our society hates children. from lack of universal preschool to the cavalier seperations from their kin in the "child welfare" system to unchecked school shootings & police shootings of kids like Tamir Rice and Aiyana Jones to this systematized sexual assault.

@ReenNahMean I feel this soooo deep and I’m only 8 months in

[Joyce McMillan @JMacForFamilies]

Caseworkers said they felt pressured to push their way into people’s homes and not tell parents their rights. They “feel complicit in the harm that A.C.S. can cause Black and brown families” and powerless to change the system, the report stated. ⁦ https://t.co/S5Gb0l4ziO

"We want people to understand why policing can’t be reformed and why we want to build something else entirely. We also want to make the point that police are so central in our imagination, so how do we extract them?" —@dreanyc123 #NoMorePolice https://t.co/rSQSbC85DE

Hali and Ashley are two of many pregnant or postpartum moms jailed for months in Etowah County under unconstitutional conditions, before any trial.

Above all, they've been devastated at the separation from their young children. Who does this help?

More to come from @NAPW soon.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

70% of parents in state prison keep in touch with their kids via mail. The upcoming hikes on stamp prices will hit them hard unless Congress does what it should have done years ago: create a special postal mail rate for incarcerated people.

[Movement for Family Power|@movfamilypower.bsky.soc @movfamilypower]

Parents are their family’s safety. Forced removal of a child is a forced trauma. It's time to bring on a world uplifts and supports families instead of policing them.

#PSLF folks, thought I'd share an updated🧵on how to navigate the Limited Waiver & those panic-inducing review letters that look like rejections. Seeing so many stressed out people when we should be celebrating how close to cancelation we are. Follow along ⬇️ (1)

[Lizar_tistry @lizar_tistry]

I’m on the road but wanted to get this thread out as the creep of fascism feels larger and closer. Another resource list, this time using @MsKellyMHayes’s self-reflection prompts on planning for disaster, including @prisonculture’s guiding questions for moments of injustice. 🧵

[Interrupting Criminalization @interruptcrim]

We must understand abortion criminalization as a part of a larger web. There are many sites and mechanisms of criminalization of reproductive autonomy—which means many points and opportunities for intervention. https://t.co/2z4Fii5o7T
