The Insular Cases still prevent millions of people — overwhelmingly people of color — from accessing certain constitutional rights and protections. It's long past time for the Supreme Court to strike down the Insular Cases once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

We are deeply disturbed by reports of abuse in the National Women's Soccer League — but unfortunately not surprised. Female athletes at all levels are continually failed by management who too often deny support and ignore the voices of their own players. https://t.co/ONzv8nMxE9 — PolitiTweet.org

This upcoming term, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a series of civil rights cases, signaling a willingness to rewrite the rules and undermine equal protection for our most vulnerable. https://t.co/YrboMfmbtg — PolitiTweet.org

This is unacceptable. The event showed a deep disregard for the separation of church and state, students’ rights to equal treatment, and the rights of their parents. We need action to ensure discriminatory events like these never happen again. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The First Amendment protects public school students from school-sponsored religious events. In segregating the students by sex and enforcing differential treatment based on harmful stereotypes, the school has also likely violated both Title IX and the Fourteenth Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The event was co-sponsored by a local religious organization, but the permission form given to parents beforehand made no mention of the sex-segregated teaching, or the religious and sexual instruction. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The event immediately separated students by sex, barring a trans male student from staying with his peers. Female students were instructed in abstinence and told to forgive those who abuse or assault them. Male students were encouraged to compete in push-up contests for money. — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: We’ve warned the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board about a religious event held without parental consent, called the ‘Day of Hope.’ Families were told it was a college fair. Instead, 2,000 students were subjected to school-sponsored religious and sexual instruction. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The rulings in each of these cases have the potential to either protect our civil liberties, or diminish them — but no matter what happens, we are ready to fight for the rights, dignity, and freedom of all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Texas and other states have challenged a Biden administration memo that guides federal immigration policy. Decisions about how immigration laws should be enforced are the federal government’s to make — not Texas’s. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

A Colorado website designer is asking the Court to weaken anti-discrimination laws by claiming a First Amendment right to deny service to same-sex couples because of objection to their marriages. There is no First Amendment right to discriminate when you open a public business. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We’re urging the Supreme Court to uphold the Indian Child Welfare Act in Brackeen v. Haaland. ICWA establishes protections that prioritize keeping Native kids within their own communities and tribes and connected to their cultural identities and language. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Two cases are challenging affirmative action at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. Colleges have an institutional interest in assembling a diverse and inclusive student body — and considering a student’s whole background helps them achieve that. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

In Moore v. Harper, North Carolina legislators skewed district lines so their supporters have more voting power than numbers warrant. If the Supreme Court decides wrongly, it will be easier for state legislatures to draw gerrymandered districts and subvert election results. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Merrill v. Milligan concerns Alabama’s new congressional maps, which deny Black voters an equal opportunity to elect representatives of their choice. Black people make up 27% of the state’s population, but elect only 14% of the state’s representatives — we deserve to be heard. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Supreme Court is back today for a new term, 100 days after overturning Roe v. Wade. They’ve taken on a series of cases that will impact: ▪️ Voting rights ▪️ Racial justice ▪️ LGBTQ rights And more. Here are the key civil rights and civil liberties cases on the docket ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

The right to an abortion belongs to the people — not politicians. It’s time to vote anti-abortion extremists out of office. https://t.co/iavaXebb1L — PolitiTweet.org

Many pregnant workers are the primary breadwinners in their family — yet are at risk of being fired or forced on unpaid leave by their employer due to being pregnant. This must stop. Tell Congress to take action. https://t.co/KFj9PWXAfQ — PolitiTweet.org

51 years ago, people imprisoned at Attica Correctional Facility rose up and demanded humane treatment only to be met with brutal force from law enforcement. This uprising sparked the beginning of a new movement for prisoners' rights. https://t.co/D7ca7q340a — PolitiTweet.org

Over 300,000 people are at risk of being deported and forcibly separated from their families due to inhumane Trump-era policies. No one should have to live in fear of this cruelty. The Biden administration must act NOW. https://t.co/C6bZI90Ekm — PolitiTweet.org

Torrance County Detention Facility is fundamentally dysfunctional and cruel — it should not be in operation. Period. ICE must immediately release all people detained at this facility. — PolitiTweet.org

Britney Spears' conservatorship brought this issue into the national spotlight — now we must transform these systems nationwide, using California's law as a model. We should not be robbed of our liberty and autonomy. We deserve the freedom to live and direct our own lives. — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: Governor Newsom just signed a bill that reforms the harmful conservatorship system and recognizes supported decision making as an effective alternative. This bill will allow people with disabilities in California to get the support we need on our own terms. — PolitiTweet.org
