The state secrets privilege allows the government to block the release of information in a lawsuit that would harm national security if disclosed. In recent years, the government has invoked this privilege more aggressively. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Supreme Court’s embrace of the state secrets privilege gives the government every incentive to continue invoking “state secrets” to conceal abuses and thwart accountability in the courts. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Supreme Court just ruled in our case, FBI v. Fazaga, that the FBI can seek to hide its discriminatory and harmful surveillance of Muslim American communities under the guise of “state secrets.” This is a dangerous sign for religious freedom and government accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

This case is far from over. We'll keep pushing until every person can decide if and when to have a child, regardless of where they live. — PolitiTweet.org

Mastercard must end their policy unfairly targeting the adult content industry and ensure equitable access to financial services NOW. Add your name here to remind them: Sex work is work. Period. https://t.co/riAJqwbh1s — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Sex workers, like everyone else, deserve access to online platforms and financial services. Everyone should be able to make a living. Companies like Mastercard discriminate against sex workers and make it hard for sex workers to make a living online. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Along with 70 organizations, we're proud to support the reintroduction of the SAFE SEX Workers Study Act. This is a crucial piece of legislation that would help Congress make informed policy decisions that protect sex workers' health and rights. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Decriminalizing sex work will: ✅ Deter violent clients ✅ Provide access to health care ✅ Advance LGBTQ equality ✅ Increase financial independence https://t.co/L6i9JlWueP — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Sex workers have the right to safety and security as they make a living. The time to decriminalize sex work is now. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Our leaders must protect our constitutional rights to privacy and free expression by preventing surveillance systems like Flock from being built. https://t.co/rU2KzXhnDu — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Mass surveillance systems have long been feared by those of us who value open, democratic societies, and for good reason. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

If successful, Flock threatens to bring an entirely new level of surveillance to our communities. It will further undermine our privacy, disproportionately harm historically disadvantaged communities, and shift power from us to the government. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Constant surveillance creates chilling effects and opens the door to abusive tracking. And Flock will only get more dangerous as they expand their surveillance services and include advanced new forms of behavioral analytics. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This public-private partnership allows for surveillance on a massive scale with no meaningful checks and balances. It’s bad enough when law enforcement engages in mass surveillance. To have that data flowing through a private company adds entirely new incentives for misuse. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Flock says their cameras are installed in 1400 cities across the US and photographs billions of vehicles a month. This means that anyone who buys their cameras is effectively buying and installing surveillance devices not just for themselves, but for the authorities as well. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Flock not only allows customers to create their own “hot lists” that generate alarms when listed plates are spotted, but also runs plates against state police watchlists and the FBI’s primary criminal database. It may also be used by immigration authorities to deport people. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Flock's automatic license plate recognition cameras are used by police and private customers to create a record of every vehicle that passes in front of them. That data is then fed into Flock's centralized database and available to more than 500 police departments. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Across America, a new and rapidly growing surveillance company called Flock Safety is building a giant interconnected surveillance network that law enforcement can use to track us. This form of mass surveillance is unlike anything we’ve seen before in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The US courts are the only place in the world where everyone must pretend not to know basic facts about the CIA’s torture program. This decision is wrong and dangerous. It is past time to stop letting the CIA hide its crimes behind absurd claims of secrecy. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Oklahoma politicians are pushing Texas' example to the extreme by pursuing a total ban on abortion, blocking access for millions more people. Our ability to get the essential abortion care we need shouldn't depend on where we live. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Politicians shouldn't be able to force us to carry pregnancies against our will. We deserve the power to control our bodies and our futures. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Black people and people of color, people with low incomes, and young people would bear the brunt of this ban. In a state with a severe maternal mortality crisis, this ban would be especially devastating for Black women, who are disproportionately harmed by the crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Our lawsuit against Kentucky's abortion ban will now be sent back to a federal appeals court where we'll continue the fight to prevent this law from going into effect. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The law in question attempts to ban the standard abortion procedure used after 15 weeks of pregnancy. It's a medically unnecessary and dangerous attempt to push essential care out of reach. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This morning, the Supreme Court ruled that Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron can move forward with a last-ditch attempt to ban abortion in Kentucky. The ban is currently blocked, and we'll be fighting to keep it that way. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Attempts to push trans youth out of public life aren't just happening in Texas. Politicians around the country are supporting these harmful policies. But we know that trans youth belong EVERYWHERE. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The federal government sent out an important reminder tonight: Federal law protects transgender people from discrimination. This includes attempts to block trans youth from lifesaving, medically necessary care. — PolitiTweet.org
