BREAKING: The federal government just set two more execution dates. Executions are always wrong. During a deadly pandemic, they are irreparably reckless and dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

BREAKING: We’re asking a federal appeals court to order CBP and ICE to get a warrant before searching through our phones and laptops at the airport and other US ports of entry. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Every lower court to consider the question has ruled President Trump’s border wall illegal, and the Supreme Court’s temporary order does not decide the case. We’ll be back before the Supreme Court soon to put a stop to Trump’s xenophobic border wall once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The fight continues. The administration has admitted that the wall can be taken down if we ultimately prevail, and we will hold them to their word and seek the removal of every mile of unlawful wall built. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Trump may send his secret CBP paramilitary to your hometown. That’s the last thing our communities need. At least 102 people have died in encounters with CBP in the last decade and no agent has ever been held criminally accountable while on duty. CBP needs to be reined in now. https://t.co/ytv7T67B6R — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: The Trump administration is appealing this win, trying to force us to accept COVID-19 risk as a condition for receiving abortion care. We’ll see them in court. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Prosecutors have lots of power in our criminal legal system. They have a unique role to play in stopping the spread of COVID-19 in prisons and jails. Here’s what they have (not) done in Austin, Jacksonville, Fort Worth, Columbus, and Charlotte. https://t.co/9CU91ayNv2 — PolitiTweet.org

We shouldn’t have to choose between paying for rent and the care we need. Reproductive justice is economic justice. https://t.co/yXxPqvOXcy — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We’re in court today asking a federal judge to hold federal agents in contempt for repeatedly violating a court order blocking the agents from attacking journalists and legal observers documenting the Portland protest. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This is an attempt to sabotage the census and lock in an undercount that will distort our democracy for a decade. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Police continue to get away with the murder of Black and Brown people. We still demand justice for Mike Brown and every other Black life taken at the hands of law enforcement. https://t.co/LE4L0vMjQw — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Governments should divest from supervision and incarceration and invest in jobs, housing, and health care. By investing in communities, we can work to break the supervision-to-incarceration pipeline, and help people get the resources they need. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Rather than diverting people from incarceration, probation and parole are feeding jail and prison populations. In 2017, 45% of all state prison admissions resulted from supervision violations. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

People on supervision are required to submit to wide-ranging, vague, and oppressive conditions, like paying fines and fees they cannot afford, reporting address changes even when they lack housing stability, and staying away from “disreputable” people. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

In our analysis, people — disproportionately Black and Brown — were incarcerated for violating the rules of supervision or for low-level crimes, and receive disproportionate punishment following proceedings that fail to adequately protect fair trial rights https://t.co/p3ukP62fjg — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Today we published a new report with @HRW. It found that in reality, probation and parole drive high numbers of people right back to jail or prison, while in many cases failing to help them get the services and resources necessary to re enter society. https://t.co/GXImK678gq — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Probation and parole are often promoted as alternatives to incarceration that help formerly incarcerated people successfully re-enter society get back on their feet. However, despite being seen as acts of leniency, parole and probation are both harsh and punitive. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We must decriminalize sex work, for our safety, our dignity, and our health. https://t.co/c5ccAVOSC7 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Decriminalizing sex work helps end law enforcement profiling and targeting of trans women of color. https://t.co/2lq80fDPrB — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Decriminalizing sex work means recognizing that sex work is real work. https://t.co/boJGLdw2Qv — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

It’s time to end the stigma against sex work. Here are 6 reasons why decriminalizing sex work supports our movements against police brutality and for the safety and well-being of LGBTQ people of color. https://t.co/y8Nqlevumh — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We, @acluohio, and @LawyersComm will fight to make sure you can cast your ballot safely — and have it counted. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Currently, election officials — who have no handwriting-analysis expertise — are allowed to reject an absentee ballot or application, sometimes without notifying the voter, if they think there is a signature mismatch on the paperwork. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

BREAKING: We’re suing against Ohio’s flawed and unconstitutional system of matching voter signatures on absentee ballots and absentee ballot applications. With record numbers of voters casting absentee ballots during COVID-19, we won’t let ballots be illegally thrown out. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

It's time to divest from: ⚠️ ICE ⚠️ CBP ⚠️ The police Our communities' safety depends on it. https://t.co/7W4qunWF8x — PolitiTweet.org

🗣️ States should automatically send mail-in ballots to all registered voters. https://t.co/K9hZav4BGX — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Federal and local law enforcement: The response to protests over police brutality is NOT more brutality. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Your move, Senate. https://t.co/RJOHSOPBkj — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

It’s time to end the extreme, irrational sentencing practices that keep families in a vicious cycle of poverty and incarceration. https://t.co/lJOyTb1TLo — PolitiTweet.org
