No family should be persecuted simply because they want what's best for their child. Gender-affirming care saves lives, and this cruel policy has no basis in law, medicine, or morality.https://t.co/LkAVnNWgGs — PolitiTweet.org

We have the power to make change in our own communities and beyond. https://t.co/MYAmXnmUqf — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Bans on abortion push essential, time-sensitive health care further out of reach everywhere. We shouldn’t have to fight for access — we deserve to get care in the state where we live.https://t.co/kwZxXYH78m — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction blocking the enforcement of an Arizona law that would restrict our right to record police in public. We have a First Amendment right to film the police — and we will use it. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re tackling Florida’s new classroom censorship law — one that we argue violates our First and 14th Amendment rights. Listen in on At Liberty today.https://t.co/aRwNvVdHql — PolitiTweet.org

Mass voter fraud is a myth, but voter suppression is real. People with low incomes, formerly incarcerated people, and people of color are more likely to face incredibly harsh consequences for violating voting laws — even when it’s an honest mistake. https://t.co/U8BLSUgvZr — PolitiTweet.org

Donovan Lewis was killed by police in a nighttime raid. Breonna Taylor, Amir Locke, and many others were killed by police in a similar manner. Police use of nighttime raids and other militarized tactics must end. Donovan Lewis should still be alive today.https://t.co/Aso5LUGWw1 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Today, we're in court defending our First Amendment right to record police in public. Videos of encounters with police are a powerful way of holding cops accountable for their actions — we won't let these protections be taken from us without a fight. https://t.co/yl5IzvcJUz — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that a measure giving voters the opportunity to protect reproductive healthcare and restore the protections of Roe v. Wade will be included on the ballot this November. Abortion is our right — and we'll vote like it. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We and @ACLU_SoCal are arguing LA County has failed to adequately fund alternatives to incarceration, contributing to these abysmal conditions. People need community care — not incarceration. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Many people are at the booking facility because they're experiencing houselessness, have serious mental illness, or both. These cruel conditions only worsen their physical and mental health. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Jhean Banos, who was detained at the booking facility, has cuts and bruises on his wrists, likely from being hand-cuffed to a bench for nearly 100 hours straight. Jhean has diagnosed schizophrenia. “My son’s mental health is not a crime,” says his mother, Celia. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

People in custody at LA’s booking facility describe: ▪️ People with serious mental illness chained to chairs for days ▪️ Dozens of people sleeping head-to-foot on the hard concrete floor ▪️ Failure to provide clean water, health care or basic hygiene This cannot go on. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

BREAKING: We're seeking an emergency court order to stop the LA County Jail booking facility from holding people in horrific, inhumane conditions. People in or waiting to be in jail have human rights — and we will not allow those rights to be violated. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Our civil rights laws are under attack, endangering our access to education, employment, and life-saving health care. We have anti-discrimination laws for a reason — and religion is no excuse to discriminate.https://t.co/2RUY7BlVQg — PolitiTweet.org

Across the country, incarcerated people are being paid pennies for forced labor. It’s time to end the exploitation and treat incarcerated workers with dignity. https://t.co/6VyurFdqeL — PolitiTweet.org

Simple solutions like court reminders are effective alternatives to jailing people before trial — meaning more people can keep jobs, housing and stability while awaiting their day in court. https://t.co/dhZdv53tYm — PolitiTweet.org

When viewed against how the criminal legal system normally operates, the recent Mar-a-Lago order implies two systems: a gentle system for Trump, and a wholly separate, and infinitely harsher, system for everyone else. https://t.co/eljzD2Ej90 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

South Carolina's maps are racially gerrymandered, and these lawmakers know it. The hypocrisy of their argument is astounding. The bottom line is this: We deserve fair maps. And we'll keep fighting in South Carolina and in courts across the country to get them. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

In Charleston, for example, lawmakers strategically carved Black voters out of competitive District 1 and dispersed them among other districts to minimize their voting power. Lawmakers claim they did this for partisan gain, but clearly disenfranchised Black voters to get there. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The fact is, lawmakers have drawn maps designed to both racially and politically gerrymander by illegally disenfranchising Black voters to win more seats for their party. This is exactly what South Carolina did, and why we’re going to trial. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

In 2019, the Supreme Court ruled partisan gerrymandering claims couldn't be brought in federal courts. South Carolina ran with this already devastating opinion, now claiming partisanship is a legal, justifiable defense to racial discrimination. This is blatantly false. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

In 2021, we sued South Carolina over new congressional maps that disenfranchise Black voters. Now, lawmakers are arguing a legal right to partisan gerrymandering. We’re calling their bluff: The new maps are racist and unconstitutional — and it’s ridiculous to claim otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

As more states move to ban or restrict abortion care, the consequences will fall hardest on Black women, who already face a disproportionately high rate of maternal mortality. Abortion is life-saving, essential health care. https://t.co/xyT4jCMFrH — PolitiTweet.org
