By excluding #SocialWork from its definition of #ProfessionalDegrees, the #DepartmentOfEducation is limiting access to #FederalStudentLoans for #MSWstudents. Fewer students means fewer #SocialWorkers available to meet growing #MentalHealth and #SocialService needs. #SocialWorkIsAProfession!

"Agents should not discharge their weapons against a moving vehicle."
That's an update made in 2014 to the Border Patrol handbook after investigations uncovered that agents were intentionally jumping in front of moving vehicles and then shooting them. (1/2)

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.
