DC residents pay the most in federal income taxes per capita — more than residents in any other state. Why shouldn’t they have the same voting rights and privileges as everyone else?  https://t.co/jGiYRX4J99 — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Williams' daughters can't unsee their father's wrongful arrest, but we can make sure no one else has to go through what the Williams family did. Tell Congress to stop face recognition surveillance. https://t.co/VeQg6UltMq — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Robert Williams was arrested for a theft he didn't commit because of a face recognition technology law enforcement shouldn't be using. https://t.co/IJBX2Apbkv — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We filed briefs in the Trump case. And the Clinton case. And the Nixon case. The only reason we didn’t file in the Aaron Burr treason case is because we didn’t exist in 1807. Donald Trump is not immune to justice. https://t.co/MQNSmG4piA — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

No one should have to fear the government tracking and identifying your face wherever you go. No one, like our client Robert Williams, should have to fear being accused of a crime you never committed because of a flawed technology. Pass the long-overdue bill. — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: Members of Congress just introduced a bill to stop law enforcement use of face recognition technology. — PolitiTweet.org

There is another key lesson to be learned: The only way to truly ensure greater public health and racial justice is to reduce the size of the criminal legal system and end the crisis of mass incarceration. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

It’s never too late to treat incarcerated people’s lives with dignity and respect. Our report offers guidance as to what states can still do to save lives now and in the case of future waves of COVID-19 — or future pandemics. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The results show that despite ample time and information indicating that a crisis was on hand in prisons and jails, state responses ranged from disorganized and ineffective at best, to callously nonexistent at worst. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Our report grades states on criteria including providing testing and PPE to incarcerated people and staff, achieving reductions in jail and prison populations, and issuing meaningful executive orders to reduce jail and prison populations. https://t.co/uzhO4rt9WA — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Today we released a new report with @PrisonPolicy that shows state governments’ gross negligence in protecting the lives of incarcerated people during the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/YCmbTffnNw — PolitiTweet.org

No one should have to choose between their health and their right to vote. Congress, do your job. https://t.co/0k6n4fPjBp — PolitiTweet.org

This decision means some asylum seekers, fleeing for their lives, can be forcibly removed with no judicial oversight. https://t.co/fW9fKuSzYZ — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We argued at the Supreme Court to defend asylum seekers' and immigrants’ right to judicial review.   Today’s SCOTUS ruling fails to live up to the Constitution’s bedrock principle that everyone gets their day in court. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Last week was a busy (and good!) one at the Supreme Court, and today is another SCOTUS decision day! Reminder: We’re still waiting for rulings on reproductive freedom and immigrants’ rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Increased policing in schools has led to the school-to-prison pipeline, in which children — especially Black children — are funneled out of public schools and into the criminal justice systems. We need to divest from the police and invest in our children's futures. — PolitiTweet.org

Religious liberty is not a license to discriminate. The Supreme Court must not allow the Trump administration’s discriminatory agenda in the name of religion to move forward. https://t.co/kXOVuWM327 — PolitiTweet.org

If the Trump administration were serious about strengthening our child welfare system, they would ensure no one is turned away from being a foster parent because they are LGBTQ, Jewish, Muslim or Catholic. https://t.co/3IntOzxO2J — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

BREAKING: A court just ruled that our victory stands and Tennessee must let people vote while our case continues. The state tried to undo our victory and restrict access to vote by mail, playing politics with people's lives. We're not done fighting. — PolitiTweet.org

But the SBA's new rule isn't enough — some small business owners with criminal records are still being excluded. We'll keep fighting for all small business owners and their workers, regardless of any criminal record, to have access to this economic lifeline. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Under the SBA's new rule, small business owners with pending misdemeanor charges and those on probation or parole for older crimes, like our clients Mr. Merritt and Mr. Garland, may now apply for federal Paycheck Protection Program loans to access the financial relief they need. https://t.co/z12C7Rsxwh — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

BREAKING: In response to our lawsuit, the Small Business Administration issued a new rule expanding federal loan access to more small business owners with criminal records — providing their businesses and employees the financial assistance needed to stay afloat amidst COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

🗣️ Say it with us: No taxation without representation. — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 80% of DC residents voted to become the 51st state, so they can have the same rights and privileges as everyone else. On Friday, the House of Representatives will finally vote on DC Statehood. https://t.co/2g4BfnjmVW — PolitiTweet.org

We don't just deserve accountability and transparency from the police — we will fight to get it. https://t.co/kg56OMGtDg — PolitiTweet.org
