The very differences that are overlooked, and even celebrated for other athletes, are weaponized against Black women. https://t.co/hoWHz37Ibn — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: A federal appeals court rejected Indiana’s latest attempt to subject voters to an illegal purge process. This ruling is a win for voters throughout the state. We’ll continue to fight in court to ensure all eligible voters can cast their ballot freely and fairly. — PolitiTweet.org

Texas’s abortion ban is blatantly unconstitutional and could set a dangerous precedent for any state or locality looking to target federal rights they dislike. We’re fighting back. https://t.co/5FjaAAQUpC — PolitiTweet.org

The United States detained Abdul Latif Nasser at Guantánamo without charge or trial for 19 years. An end to two decades of unjust military detention of Muslim men at Guantánamo is a human rights obligation. https://t.co/tk6SO5Ptkh — PolitiTweet.org

We don't know the specific terms of Spears' conservatorship or whether she identifies as a person with disabilities. We do know that she wants to have another child and is currently prevented from doing so. We also know that she wants to be out of this conservatorship. — PolitiTweet.org

Many people with disabilities have and raise children in safe, loving families. The denial of that right is rooted in stigma, eugenics, and stereotypes. The choice to have or not have a child is a fundamental right. — PolitiTweet.org

While these practices may seem antiquated, they still persist today. More than half of states permit forced sterilization for conservatees in some capacity. And Buck v. Bell has never been overturned. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1927, the Supreme Court approved these forced sterilization laws in the case Buck v. Bell. The plaintiff Carrie Buck had challenged her forced sterilization after being deemed "feebleminded" by the family who took her in as a servant. The Court ruled against her. — PolitiTweet.org

Conservatorships should be used as a last resort. Conservatorships and guardianships are a highly invasive and severe loss of rights and liberty. Yet courts approve them routinely, and often allow them to be permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Is this legal? Short answer: Yes. Through conservatorships, a court is taking away a person's right to make their own choices and gives those rights to someone else. This includes reproductive choices. — PolitiTweet.org

She described grueling labor demands, constant surveillance, and confinement against her will. Shockingly, her conservators also refuse to allow her to have her IUD removed. — PolitiTweet.org

Martin Vargas Arellano contracted COVID-19 in ICE detention. ICE released him from custody on his deathbed, allowing the agency to avoid investigating and reporting his death. We know this happens in other cases — we’re working to find out more. https://t.co/67HJ9mC9Hr — PolitiTweet.org
