For people in college, where you go to school can add a layer of difficulty when it comes to accessing reproductive health care. https://t.co/lmWQImU93F — PolitiTweet.org

Now, ICWA is being reviewed by the Supreme Court, who could overturn it this fall. We’re urging the Supreme Court to uphold the constitutionality of ICWA, protect tribal sovereignty, and ensure Native families have a right to stay together. https://t.co/dplXyGewsM — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Indian Child Welfare Act was put in place to end this harmful separation and forced assimilation in 1978. ICWA requires courts to prioritize keeping Native families together and keeping Native children in connection with their tribes, communities, and culture. — PolitiTweet.org

While the boarding schools were largely shuttered in the mid-1900s, coercive adoptive programs took their place. Public and private child welfare agencies were removing 25 to 35 percent of Native children from their homes, placing most of them in non-Native households. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The boarding schools were often hundreds of miles away from tribal homelands, and any Indigenous languages, clothing, hairstyles, or names were prohibited. Children were neglected and abused, all with the intent of destroying Native identities and future generations of tribes. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Throughout history, the US government has sought to undermine the existence of tribes and erase Indigenous culture by severing the ties Native children have to their communities. For years, children as young as four were taken and placed in boarding school institutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the National Day of Remembrance for US Indian Boarding Schools. We honor the survivors of these schools, and remember and recognize the harms caused by the forced removal and assimilation of Native American children in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Seeking asylum is a fundamental right protected under US law. But misinformation abounds. Knowing the facts is crucial for defending people’s right to seek safety in this country. https://t.co/Pp1bp46gTD — PolitiTweet.org

Next week, the Supreme Court is set to hear Milligan v. Merrill, a case that will determine the future of voting rights in America. Listen in as we discuss on this episode of At Liberty. https://t.co/DwteOElsAO — PolitiTweet.org

We have 40 days until the midterm elections — and our rights are on the line. We’re using the full firepower of the ACLU to mobilize voters and defend abortion access and reproductive freedom for all. Help fund the fight today. https://t.co/fejVrnuIeI — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

People awaiting trial, or returning home from prison, need stability, housing, employment, and family support to be successful. It’s time to end electronic monitoring and invest in less restrictive — and more effective — ways of working with people. https://t.co/S9RlfFK8cw — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This system fails to enhance public safety, increase court appearances, or foster rehabilitation. We already have cost-effective, low-tech alternatives that actually work, like text reminders for court dates, and transportation assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Electronic monitoring is expensive, and the limits on where you can go are strict. People are often forced to pay for their devices, losing money on the same thing that makes it nearly impossible to leave the house long enough to work or attend school. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Electronic monitoring is a failed reform. Replacing a physical cage with an electronic one isn't liberation — and devices like GPS ankle monitors increase the likelihood that someone will be incarcerated for minor violations or device malfunctions. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Today, we dropped a report outlining ways to reduce the harms of electronic monitoring, a form of surveillance commonly used by governments to track people on pretrial release, probation, or parole. Ultimately, electronic monitoring needs to end. Here’s why: — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Biden administration shouldn’t be hiring doctors to try and downplay the harm suffered by families who were separated under Trump. It’s past time to recognize and rectify the harms that these families have endured.https://t.co/qkVqaIGFSI — PolitiTweet.org

This November, abortion rights are on the ballot — and access in many states depends on our vote. We will show up to defend our reproductive freedom with everything we’ve got.https://t.co/6YcHcIUY1L — PolitiTweet.org

We applaud Governor Brown’s work. Through the Redemption Campaign, we are working to give second chances to thousands more through acts of clemency. https://t.co/CBKGjbPZ0j — PolitiTweet.org

The financial burden of traveling for an abortion includes gas, hotels, childcare and more — on top of the medical care itself. Abortion funds provide much-needed financial support, but access to life-saving care shouldn't depend on how much money we have.https://t.co/fOnW3FOwNW — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The people detained at Torrance County Detention Facility have been denied basic humanity and fair treatment for far too long. ICE must end its contract at Torrance, and the US government must commit to ending the ICE detention machine once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Mental health apps generally aren’t bound by the same privacy laws that apply to traditional health care providers — leaving a concerning gap in legal protections for our privacy when it comes to the data they collect. https://t.co/GbdvfFm13x — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Upstream surveillance is no secret, and the NSA's own public disclosures are the proof. It is past time for the Supreme Court to rein in the government’s out-of-control habit of using secrecy to evade accountability in the courts. https://t.co/MWOaGnajdl — PolitiTweet.org

This is welcome news. Federal law prohibits disqualifying ballots for irrelevant technicalities that have no affect on the legitimacy of the ballot. Let people vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Politicians in Oklahoma are threatening to defund a hospital in a baseless attack on gender-affirming care. Medical treatments should be guided by the patient’s health and well-being — not by hatred from the government. — PolitiTweet.org
