Constitutional law scholar Dr. Michele Goodwin joined us this week on At Liberty to discuss what Loving Day means to her, and how legislative attacks on our right to abortion could impact our abilities to build our families how we wish.

55 years ago we represented Mildred and Richard Loving in the Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia. Our victory in that case overturned bans on interracial marriage nationwide, deeming them unconstitutional. #LovingDay https://t.co/aqzcV0u9Db — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Excessive and cruel sentencing has led to our mass incarceration crisis. That’s why we developed a tool to help people entangled in the criminal legal system predict the risks they might encounter. https://t.co/nrfW231pqL — PolitiTweet.org

Many TSA practices make travel more difficult for trans people. If implemented in full, these changes can help prevent those difficulties. https://t.co/ZkcFfb7YCr — PolitiTweet.org

The same hideous weapon of execution employed by Nazis during the Holocaust must be banished to history — not resurrected by the state to wield violence in the name of Arizonans. https://t.co/R5P9fY5b53 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We've joined with the Federal Anti-Solitary Taskforce to ask the DOJ to investigate abuses at Thomson Federal Penitentiary and end solitary confinement. The treatment in this prison is a violation of people’s fundamental human rights. The abuse must end. https://t.co/Qnf8LfCJ2w — PolitiTweet.org

This week on At Liberty, we sit down with Dr. Michele Goodwin, a constitutional law scholar, to discuss the anniversary of Loving v. Virginia amidst numerous attacks on our ability to build our families how we see fit. https://t.co/DoMsSBrEB1 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

It’s been 59 years since the Equal Pay Act passed — but the gender wage gap persists. Mothers are the primary breadwinners in 40% of all households and these losses affect our families' health, welfare and economic security. It's past time for equal pay for equal work. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

In recent years, Colorado passed laws to help rebuild immigrant communities’ trust in local government, ensuring people can call emergency services or go to court without fear of deportation. Instead of obeying these laws, ICE is trying to dodge them. https://t.co/LmLZNVT84r — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Equal Pay Act was enacted in 1963 — but the gender wage gap remains and is even more stark for Black women, Indigenous women, and other women of color. We won't stop fighting until everyone — regardless of race and gender — earns equal pay for equal work. https://t.co/RykFEtePba — PolitiTweet.org

Our hearts are with our client Antonio, his family, and all trans youth whose families have been subjected to this terrifying state surveillance and cruel punishment. Trans youth shouldn't have to fight this hard to live. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

These ballots were disputed because they lacked an inconsequential handwritten date on an outer envelope. Voters have historically been disenfranchised based on paperwork errors not relevant to their eligibility. We and @aclupa know: Every valid vote must be counted. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

VICTORY: The Supreme Court has denied a request to halt the counting of 257 timely received ballots in Pennsylvania, allowing the unanimous ruling of a federal appeals court to take effect. Our clients and everyone impacted by this issue have a right to have their vote counted. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The human cost of impeding contact between lawyers and clients in ICE detention facilities is steep. Access to legal representation is a constitutional right for ALL. Denying due process for people fleeing violence and persecution is particularly cruel. https://t.co/ZLlkcRna1q — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Last January's violent insurrection at the Capitol wasn't the first, or last, attack on our democracy. As Congress fulfills their obligation to hold those involved accountable, they must also move to expand protections for our right to vote. https://t.co/xTf9i3TXvE — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Due process is a constitutional right guaranteed to ALL. ICE must remove all barriers to legal communication now. Read the full report below. https://t.co/1tVkJRrqyW — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

For people fleeing violence, access to counsel can be a matter of life or death. Without an attorney, immigrants are often held in dangerous conditions for extensive periods or returned to the violence they fled. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

11 ICE detention facilities reported that they do not allow any in-person legal visits at all. At least 58 ICE detention facilities do not allow attorneys to schedule phone calls with a detained client at a certain date and time. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

3 out of 4 detained people in removal proceedings do not have counsel. Attorneys at nearly half of facilities reported arbitrary delays or denial of access to their clients. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Each day, ICE locks up tens of thousands of people in approximately 185 detention facilities nationwide. At over 40 of these detention facilities, no one ever picked up the phone or operators refused to answer basic questions about attorney access. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

BREAKING: We just dropped a new report detailing how ICE detention facilities nationwide have systematically restricted access to attorneys. It’s a damning account of a cruel system that denies due process at every turn. Here’s what we found. ↓ — PolitiTweet.org

Good. This project should never have gotten as far as it did. Our communities deserve to feel safe and arming drones is not the answer. https://t.co/XrZawHykqD — PolitiTweet.org

US Customs and Border Protection is by far the largest federal policy agency, and it has an appalling record of harm. This ruling leaves victims of police violence by CBP agents without an effective remedy for justice and puts everyone’s liberty at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Supreme Court's ruling in Egbert v Boule will have far-reaching consequences on the ways we can hold federal law enforcement officers accountable for violating the Constitution. This precedent endangers us all. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine has done nothing to improve public safety or reduce drug use — it just disproportionately harms communities of color. The time is now for the Senate to pass the EQUAL Act. https://t.co/NWeRY7vjO4 — PolitiTweet.org
