By allowing instruction on intelligent design, the bill would enable public school teachers to impose their religious views on students. It’s a huge violation of the separation of church and state. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The West Virginia Senate Education Committee just approved a bill that would allow public schools to teach intelligent design, a form of creationism. This bill is blatantly unconstitutional. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Criminalizing speech that encourages noncitizens to enter or reside in the US illegally makes free speech a crime. The Supreme Court must protect our First Amendment rights. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Grandmothers have the right to urge their undocumented grandchildren to stay without facing federal felony charges. Advocates have a right to advise non-citizens without risking prison time. Priests have a right to promise to guide the undocumented without fearing prosecution. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Court has long recognized the First Amendment protects us from criminal punishment for simply encouraging an unlawful act as long as we aren't imminently stirring up crime. However, this law is so broad that routine conversations would break it. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Last week, we filed a brief in US v. Hansen urging the Supreme Court to hold that a federal law which makes it a felony to encourage noncitizens to enter or reside in the US unlawfully violates our First Amendment rights. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

With so much of our lives taking place online, it’s crucial we have the freedom to communicate without fear of government surveillance. Call your members of Congress today and urge them to vote NO on Section 702. https://t.co/p2sVftCQIi — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

But the fight is not over. Instead of reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the law used to justify this unconstitutional spying, Congress must fundamentally reform this law or let it expire when they vote on it at the end of the year. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Court’s refusal to hear this case shields one of the most far-reaching government surveillance programs from meaningful judicial oversight. It has allowed baseless claims of secrecy to prevail over the rule of law. https://t.co/v9E7dvgVyp — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We all deserve to use the internet without fear of being monitored by the government. By declining to hear our and @knightcolumbia’s case, the Court has slammed shut one of the only doors left to hold the NSA accountable for surveillance abuses revealed in 2013 by @Snowden. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just refused to hear Wikimedia v. NSA, our longstanding challenge to the NSA’s mass surveillance of Americans’ online communications with friends, family, and others abroad. This decision comes at an immense cost to our privacy. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Our nation has existed longer with slavery than without — and it'll never move forward if it can’t reckon with this history. We honor the courage of the abolitionist movement by fighting to end mass incarceration, over policing, and all racist systems that persist today. https://t.co/IsnovzFC4S — PolitiTweet.org

Books like George M. Johnson’s All Boys Aren’t Blue have a unique power to educate, build empathy, and bring us together. Tune in for more on this episode of At Liberty. https://t.co/v4CnFO3bIv https://t.co/Umg8cdXFgF — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

George’s memoir, All Boys Aren’t Blue, has become one of the top five banned books in the country. Here’s what they have to say about it. https://t.co/LGzWeeAv8b — PolitiTweet.org

As a young activist fighting against racial segregation, Eleanor Holmes Norton embraced the power of the First Amendment. That passion took her to the ACLU, and all the way to Congress, where she represents the District of Columbia today. Read more: https://t.co/MvSawA04ZP https://t.co/7ofwZzf8sT — PolitiTweet.org

Freedom House was a Black-led service that revolutionized emergency response. Their efforts are an often overlooked part of Black history that saved thousands of Black lives in the Black neighborhoods of Pittsburgh. https://t.co/b5PLG56utj — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Representative John Lewis dedicated his life to civil rights and the voting rights movement. We’re calling on Congress to honor his legacy by passing federal voting rights legislation to root out the voting barriers built to discriminate against voters of color. https://t.co/gNMJ89Z6Xq — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Flock is building a giant camera network that records our comings and goings and makes that data available to any of its law enforcement customers. Their goal is to extend this surveillance across the entire nation — we won't let that happen. https://t.co/HY0F6JgYMF — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

For over 20 years, medication abortion using mifepristone has been a safe, effective, and accessible way for people to access abortion care. We won’t let this essential medication be taken from us without a fight. https://t.co/PjNN9QJ77f — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We must put an end to our nation’s system of mass incarceration if we ever want to be free. Angela Davis is still leading this work today. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/t55cJ0ELIq — PolitiTweet.org

With state legislatures and school boards targeting books about race and gender across the country, we sat down with George to discuss the power of diverse perspectives in books. https://t.co/I9XNB22slR — PolitiTweet.org

Some say football is no place for politics. They’re wrong. Colin Kaepernick took a knee to protest unrelenting police violence against Black communities and was blacklisted because of it. Protesting athletes deserve better. To the players kneeling this season — we’re with you. https://t.co/t4ghjsSk17 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

On today’s episode of At Liberty, we’re sitting down with George M. Johnson, author of All Boys Aren’t Blue, as we talk about identity, censorship, and the importance of our right to learn. https://t.co/e50Uyft5Hb — PolitiTweet.org

This is good news. The death penalty is racist, arbitrary, and cruel. Governors across the country should take Pennsylvania’s lead and urge their legislatures to abolish this archaic practice. — PolitiTweet.org

Dress codes are disproportionately enforced against girls, especially Black girls, gender non-conforming girls, trans girls, and girls with larger body types. Students are fighting back — and the courts are on their side. https://t.co/zTRDkipTPk — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: The Kentucky Supreme Court refused to block two abortion bans. For now, people in Kentucky will continue to be denied access to care, with devastating consequences. We'll do everything we can to protect our reproductive rights — we won't stop fighting for abortion. — PolitiTweet.org
