ACLU @ACLU

To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in detention facilities, Garland must: ▫️Offer vaccinations with appropriate patient education and incentives to all persons in custody ▫️Expand BOP’s use of home confinement ▫️End DOJ’s opposition to compassionate release motions — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Biden administration has chosen to continue giving ICE significant power to harm our communities and tear families apart. As Black immigrants are being deported, including to the lethal situation in Haiti, Biden shouldn’t hesitate to put real limits on ICE. — PolitiTweet.org

Harvesting Muslim app users’ data threatens privacy and religious freedom, and is yet another betrayal for communities that have long been subjected to intrusive surveillance. We deserve to know the full scope of the US’s purchase of this private data. https://t.co/axFpjPNgyn — PolitiTweet.org

The federal government has no business using dangerous, flawed surveillance technologies like face recognition. The Biden administration can put a stop to it immediately. https://t.co/xDKhKejwAW — PolitiTweet.org

We'll keep saying this: Abortion is health care. ABORTION IS A RIGHT. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We won’t sugarcoat it: This is bad news. And we expect to see more bans and restrictions on abortion passed in statehouses this year. It's also true that abortion is still legal in all 50 states, and this fight is far from over. — PolitiTweet.org

Racist scapegoating of ethnic groups for infectious diseases is not new to US history. Anti-Asian hate crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic should not be tolerated. https://t.co/STFAsbZ8Y9 — PolitiTweet.org

Any effective corrections program must focus on the possibility of rehabilitation. The death penalty nullifies that possibility and makes the racism and error of the criminal legal system permanent. https://t.co/ssKuh0u12T — PolitiTweet.org

We agree — solitary confinement IS torture. — PolitiTweet.org

Federal prisons are just as high risk for COVID now as they were when the CARES Act was passed last year. No one should be re-incarcerated in March when the deadline expires. https://t.co/Bx0bWjqB4n — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Nuisance ordinances disproportionately harm communities of color, low-income households, people with disabilities, and domestic violence survivors. They unjustly deny them access to stable housing and emergency services. Cities must take them down. https://t.co/bouJlMk71r — PolitiTweet.org
