2020 began with dozens of attacks on transgender youth in state legislatures. We expect to see similar attacks this year. Politicians that want to attack trans youth will have to go through all of us. https://t.co/K0wjewxWHc — PolitiTweet.org

Together we are strong enough to demand an end to racist police violence, push for systemic equality, protect and expand abortion rights, and stop gerrymandering from distorting the democratic process. Help us prepare for the fights ahead. https://t.co/X4kJhV2yPE https://t.co/QaCAP6h3Y0 — PolitiTweet.org

The overuse of police in our nation's schools: ⚠️ Disproportionately harms students of color and with disabilities ⚠️ Criminalizes normal childhood behavior ⚠️ Funnels students into the school-to-prison pipeline. It's time for change. https://t.co/btdwQMS1da — PolitiTweet.org

So, as always, we’ll celebrate Christmas this season. But we’ll also celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the Solstice, Festivus, and any other holiday — and fight for your right to do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

The government can’t promote religious beliefs when celebrating the holidays. But individuals and faith communities generally have a constitutional right to celebrate Christmas and other religious holidays. And we at the ACLU have repeatedly fought to protect this right. — PolitiTweet.org
