"Reforms really kill our political imagination." @mvpendleton Listen to "Reforms Don't Work" on The upEND Podcast with Dylan Rodríguez and Maya Pendleton. upendmovement.org/episode1-6/
New blog post from @mvpendleton and @AlanDettlaff for #ChildAbusePreventionMonth ✍️ Abolitionist alternatives to family policing address the root causes of harm and move towards strategies that ACTUALLY prevent child abuse. upendmovement.org/2024/04/18/fam…
Can you imagine? A young mother witnesses a murder and she's put through this? This is the carceral system's form of safety.

The family policing system to prison pipeline is real. 90% of children w/ 5+ foster care placements will be ensnared by the criminal legal system. Different system, same tactics used since slavery: family separation, trauma, brutality, surveillance, punishment. The list goes on

Another tragic case of a mother who seeks help for interpersonal violence, only to be punished by the family police and threatened with permanent separation from her children. This case is receiving necessary attention, but it is by no means isolated. npr.org/2024/04/05/124…
Mississippi is attempting to separate a mother from her three kids after a police officer shot her 11-year-old son in the chest at the family’s home in May 2023. This is the weaponization of policing + family policing against Black families. ⚠️ mississippifreepress.org/41067/mother-c…

I'm really excited to be a part of this panel! Thank you to the amazing students at @UMSocialWork for organizing this and inviting me!

Adoption is a hugely lucrative, underregulated industry. When anti-abortion lobbyists accuse doctors of performing abortions for profit, they are projecting -- it is the adoption and crisis pregnancy industry that is raking in many millions, much of it straight from traxpayers.

NEW: With abortion now largely illegal in Tx, a major anti-abortion contractor is using millions from the state for a marketing campaign that promotes adoption as "empowering." The message is misleading and manipulative, experts say. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t… via @HoustonChron
So much of what we're led to believe keeps us safe is actually nonsense. If only the public knew the types of reasoning the family policing system uses to justify taking away children.

Dorothy Roberts (@DorothyERoberts) breaks down the propaganda that the system uses to portray itself as helpful and caring. For many Americans, this will be the first time that they have ever heard the term #FamilyPolicing.
Family court is so corrupt. APRIL is “CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION” month. The real abusers of children are often the same ones who surveil families. In this case basically everyone responsible to ensure the safety of the children is participating in their harm nbcnewyork.com/news/allegatio…
As a former CPS investigator, I am deeply grateful to @upendmovement @AlanDettlaff @DorothyERoberts for their work. I was an INVESTIGATOR. I was a social worker looking for crimes. I did find some. Mostly I found the stress of poverty.
The family policing system doesn't want families to know their rights. Listen to The upEND Podcast Season One Finale with @AlanDettlaff and @mvpendleton. upendmovement.org/episode1-8/
Jey and Professor Dettlaff did their thing. Humbled to be around forward thinkers and disruptors of systems.
@alicitadelfina Past Lives was hands down my favorite movie of the year! Absolutely beautiful. (Re Eternal Sunshine, I meant Ariana Grande’s new album which is based on the movie - but also a great movie)
I said what I said. @upendmovement
Parents don't need parenting classes. They need money. Listen to the episode "Family Defenders" with Shanta Trivedi (@ShantaTrivedi) and Joyce McMillan (@JMacForFamilies). upendmovement.org/episode1-5/
Our season finale is out now! The upEND team (@mvpendleton, @AlanDettlaff, @jonubian, and @oJaison) recaps the season and shares their visions for a future without family policing. upendmovement.org/episode1-8/ P.S. Season 2 will premiere this fall! 🩵
Exactly two months until "#HowToAbolishPrisons" is published by @haymarketbooks April 9th. While nervous about what readers will think these blurbs from great abolitionist thinkers & organizers (see back cover) put my mind somewhat at ease - #AltText in 🧵. Big thanks to them.
“Ceasefire now!!” Hundreds with @uspcn @CAARPRNow @JVPChicago in City Hall chanting in support of ceasefire resolution
Listening to this podcast, could help conceptualize how ignorant it was to veto preserving family bonds.
Why do people condemn family separations at the border, but not state-sanctioned family separations in Black and Indigenous communities? Listen to "Family Defenders" featuring @ShantaTrivedi and @JMacForFamilies: upendmovement.org/episode1-5/
@oJaison @JMacForFamilies @upendmovement @jonubian That’s because @JMacForFamilies is out there doing the WORK
Yesterday a student jokingly called me “soft” and I recoiled in horror. But then I wondered why I felt that being soft was a bad thing for a professor? Especially when the world is so horrible. Why have we decided that being tough is better than being kind? #AcademicTwitter
@AlanDettlaff Thanks for your support! Your book and the @upendmovement podcast help to make our movement stronger, too!
Absolutely agree. Everywhere the state should have to provide evidence they're the better guardian.
🧵 Why isn't the family policing system being forced to answer these questions?
