As President Biden took office, we published a civil rights and liberties wishlist for the new administration. Here’s a look at what’s been accomplished and what still needs to be done. https://t.co/XRDAhhGLy9 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Banning books by a certain group of people or based on a specific point of view is a violation of our First Amendment right. We won't allow our rights to be trampled. Support our fight against book banning and tell the world: I read banned books. 📚 https://t.co/y9BNhDmTof https://t.co/gcxQ9RiLA3 — PolitiTweet.org

“For me, there was no option. I knew what kind of future I wanted, and I knew I had to get an abortion to get there. And I don’t feel bad about it.” Read more of Veronika’s abortion story. https://t.co/6xTCtU3d9G — PolitiTweet.org

“I wouldn’t be in the space I am today if it wasn’t for my abortion. The big thing I was worried about was that I wouldn’t make it to college. Now I’m at school and doing what I had planned to do with my life instead of going through with a forced pregnancy.” https://t.co/9rqD1dEEH9 — PolitiTweet.org

It is imperative that the Biden administration appoint a Bureau of Prisons director who will ensure that those released from federal facilities return to our communities rehabilitated, not broken. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Blocking members of Congress from coming to prisons to talk to incarcerated people about COVID safety shows a dangerous adherence to the status quo. It’s dangerous and unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Digital redlining" happens when online ads for housing or jobs appear – or don’t appear -- in your newsfeed based on who you are, including your gender, race, or age. Facebook must end its discriminatory ad-targeting practices. https://t.co/hPQdcW17WW — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

It’s time to end 20 years of war-based approaches that has caused devastating harm to Muslim, Brown, and Black civilians around the world. Enough talk. We need action. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We must address the massive structural flaws, likely violations of international law, and probable war crimes that have occurred in the last 20 years.  We must end unlawful and unaccountable lethal strikes, even outside of warzones. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

While a serious Defense Department focus on civilian harm is long overdue and welcome, it’s unclear that this directive will be enough. What’s needed is a truly systemic overhaul of our country’s civilian harm policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Students' access to books — whether they are creative journeys through fantasy or other fiction, or they tell difficult but true stories of parts of history that should never happen again — is critical to their development and personal growth. They have a right to read and learn. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We've already seen states enact classroom censorship bills and wage campaigns to remove books from curriculum that are by and about communities of color, LGBTQ people, and other marginalized communities. Now they're targeting books that tell the stories of Holocaust survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Maus has taught countless young people about the Holocaust through its depiction of what the author's father, a survivor, experienced. Censoring school curriculum and​ banning books ​can't "protect" anyone from history, it only limits access to knowledge and understanding. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This is simple: Trans kids don't need politicians interfering in their health care, their participation in sports, or any other aspect of their life. They just need to be supported and loved for exactly who they are, like every child. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Politicians are always talking about supporting strong, nuclear families — yet government officials at all levels are tearing families apart by the thousands under the cover of our laws. Our families deserve better. https://t.co/ICcJbDPMTF — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We agree with Brooke: School sports should be about treating people with respect and dignity. Support trans women in sports and everywhere. https://t.co/NFOCACdlar — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Private corporations are still profiting off of human misery by taking advantage of inhumane immigration policies.  It’s time to close all private prisons and shut down the immigrant detention machine. https://t.co/pfNJNpZ8NE — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The DOJ is using a deeply-flawed tool to decide who gets released from federal prisons under the First Step Act. Decisions on who qualifies for release should not be made by a racially-biased algorithm. It must be fixed. https://t.co/sXIhKFMbPC — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Congress must act to protect us from these privacy invasions. We need the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act. Read our full letter to the Senate and House Judiciary Committees. https://t.co/r30RErB719 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Communities of color, who are most reliant on cell phones, are disproportionately impacted. This has major implications for our communities that are already subject to extreme surveillance and policing. — PolitiTweet.org

Examples of data sources agencies have exploited by purchasing data without ever getting a warrant include: 🎮 Gaming apps that produce data that can be used to track children ☪️ A Muslim prayer app that can be used to target us based on our religion — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Many of the apps we use every day collect and share our sensitive data — like detailed location information, private utility records, internet traffic data, and more — and the government is buying access to this data in bulk. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The FBI, DEA, IRS and CBP are all able to obtain our private data without a warrant. How? By purchasing that data from private companies. This spying threatens our First and Fourth Amendment rights. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The next justice will help determine the course of our nation’s future. President Biden and Congress must appoint a nominee who will respect and defend the Constitution, the fundamental institutions of our democracy, and the rights of the most vulnerable among us. — PolitiTweet.org

A federal court has already blocked Arkansas’ ban on gender-affirming care. The state has appealed. Our fight in Arkansas — and around the country — is not over. When you attack trans youth, you have to go through all of us. — PolitiTweet.org
