Together with @TLDEF who is leading this brief, we’re fighting to make sure trans youth in Arkansas have access to the health care we deserve. We’re seeing attacks like this across the country. The time to be loud is now. — PolitiTweet.org

The Montana Supreme Court can make it crystal clear that the scope of a cell phone search is limited and bound by the scope of consent. https://t.co/QR1C4eY53f — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Our country’s lethal strikes program has taken an appalling toll on Muslim, Brown and Black civilians around the world. President Biden says he wants to end the forever wars. To do so, he must end the disastrous war-based approach of the last 20 years. https://t.co/wfvQoa2wLw — PolitiTweet.org

Attacks like these around the US overwhelmingly focus on youth and schools. They try to make being trans shameful. But they won’t stop youth from being trans. They will only make it harder for kids to access the support, education, and community that all young people deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

SOUTH DAKOTA: After trans youth stopped a bill attacking student athletes last year, South Dakota lawmakers are redoubling their efforts. https://t.co/uHAK8NnIdu — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

INDIANA: Lawmakers in Indiana are also trying to push trans students out of school sports. https://t.co/KLgstrQcgA — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

ARIZONA: There are multiple bills moving in Arizona, including one that would ban gender-affirming care for trans youth and one that would ban trans student athletes from participating in school sports. https://t.co/PVrthCCltc — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

🚨 Next week we could see at least three states advance anti-trans bills. We need everyone to speak up and make it clear that trans people belong in our country and everywhere. If you are in Arizona, Indiana, or South Dakota there are ways to take action below ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This is good news about Dr. Chen's case, as is the government's plans to abandon the "China Initiative." But simply rebranding this initiative will not be enough. The Justice Department must end racial profiling in the name of national security. https://t.co/A5W7D2JkLc — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We've been fighting for our civil liberties for 102 years as of today – and we won't be stopping anytime soon. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

These are some of our most significant cases from our newly-named Joan and Irwin Jacobs Supreme Court Docket, which honors two long-time ACLU supporters and their investment in keeping these fights going. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

📣 In 2020 we represented a student who was suspended from her cheer team for a Snapchat she posted that said "Fuck school fuck softball fuck cheer fuck everything." The Supreme Court upheld students' off-campus free speech rights by ruling the suspension was unconstitutional. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

🏳️‍🌈 In the 2013 case Obergefell v. Hodges, we challenged Ohio’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that state bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional. The freedom for same-sex couples to marry became the law of the land. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

📰 In the 1971 case New York Times v. US, we argued newspapers’ right to publish classified material on US involvement in Vietnam – known as the Pentagon Papers. In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court upheld the newspapers’ constitutional right to print that material. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

❤️ In the 1958 case Loving v. Virginia, we represented Mildred and Richard Loving, one of the many couples arrested for being in an interracial marriage. In 1967, the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision struck down all remaining state bans on interracial marriages. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

🐒 In our first major case known as the Scopes Monkey Trial, we represented John Scopes who was arrested for teaching evolution. Scopes was found guilty, but the verdict was reversed by the state Supreme Court. Laws prohibiting teaching evolution were defeated in 22 states. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

In our 102-year history, the ACLU has filed more briefs before the Supreme Court than any other non-governmental entity. We will continue to bring the fight for civil rights and liberties to the highest court of the land. Let’s revisit some of our cases through the years. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We must root out racism, including voting barriers that discriminate against voters of color. We'll keep fighting until the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act makes it to President Biden's desk. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Our voting rights shouldn't be up for debate. The Senate must figure out how to work around the filibuster as an obstacle blocking this landmark legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

BREAKING: The Senate failed to advance the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act for now. This isn't the end of the fight — our voting rights still need protecting. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This year, abortion is under fire like never before. The fight is urgent. Brush up on the landscape and history of abortion rights — from before Roe all the way to today. Test your knowledge here. https://t.co/HI7DeRokWS — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We'll keep fighting to end this illegal policy and the untold harm it inflicts on asylum seekers. https://t.co/TkT4oaXefQ — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Today, we were back in court fighting for an end to Title 42, a cruel policy that illegally closes the borders to families seeking safety in the US. The Biden administration continues to defend this Trump-era policy despite claiming they want to treat asylum seekers humanely. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Every day that our clients remain in Afghanistan is a day they are in imminent danger. Our government must keep its promises and immediately evacuate them. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

False rumors that the U.S. government has compensated surviving family members and NEI employees also continue to circulate. We want to be clear: Safety first. We aren’t even discussing compensation with the Pentagon and no money has been paid. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

These are people who have suffered unimaginable loss. Their grief has been compounded by 19 days of untrue and stigmatizing allegations our government made about the drone strike victims, NEI staff, and NEI, which are still widespread in Afghanistan today. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

It’s been almost six months since the strike. Our clients — victims’ surviving family members and Zemari’s Nutrition and Education International colleagues — continue to suffer and are in grave danger because of our government's shocking actions. They must be evacuated now. — PolitiTweet.org
