Efrén Paredes, Jr. has spent more than two thirds of his life behind bars without the possibility of parole— all for a crime committed when he was 15. Now, Michigan lawmakers have the chance to end the inhumane sentencing policies that put him there. https://t.co/FD25WGa0CC — PolitiTweet.org

Passing bills that attack trans youth won’t stop youth from being trans, but they will stop trans youth from growing up at all. The bans must stop. https://t.co/8EIHyFljrZ — PolitiTweet.org

The practice of cash bail, which requires people to pay thousands of dollars up front or face incarceration before trial, is racist and predatory. It’s time for it to end. — PolitiTweet.org

Legacy preferences reinforce long standing economic, social, and educational disparities between white, wealthy students and low-income and students of color. It’s time to end this system. https://t.co/LDf0Q76ifM — PolitiTweet.org

Kentucky's latest abortion ban is a labyrinth of restrictions that make it impossibly complicated for clinics to comply. This ban has effectively taken away abortion access for the entire state.We won't stop fighting until this cruel law is ended. https://t.co/vOaJzENc8Z — PolitiTweet.org

This is a critical win to protect abortion access in Ohio. We won't stop fighting until we all can get the essential abortion care we need— no matter what our zip code is. — PolitiTweet.org

When companies have access to our most personal information, there are endless avenues for exploitation without better regulation. Our lawmakers must take action to protect people against abusive corporate practices. There’s no time to waste. https://t.co/EblzdPu1y1 — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of claiming the right to our biometrics, apps should give us the resources to understand what is being taken from us, and the ability to protect that information. On a bigger scale, we need laws — like the one in Illinois — that actually protect our biometric privacy. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

TikTok quietly updated their privacy policy in 2021 to specify they “may collect biometric identifiers and biometric information” but offered little insight into what that meant. This is part of what makes trends like the iris filter so unsettling. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Is this filter problematic? The short answer? We don’t know. And that’s a problem. TikTok should tell us whether: ▪️ They are capturing iris scans from these images or use of the filter ▪️ They are keeping or using this data ▪️ They are partnering with companies that do — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

A recent popular TikTok trend spurred people to use a high-resolution filter to show the details and patterns in their irises. As the videos multiplied, concerns grew about whether users may have inadvertently exposed their biometric data. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Biometric identifiers are our unchangeable biological characteristics, like our fingerprints or the patterns in our eyes. And in most states, companies like TikTok aren’t legally required to tell us how or when they're collecting, using, or even selling this data. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

People post photos and videos of themselves every day online. It feels harmless, and for the most part, it is. But new technologies can add a dangerous layer to casual posting: The possible extraction, without our knowledge or consent, of our biometric identifiers. — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: The governor of Florida just signed an extreme bill banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy and criminalizing doctors who provide abortion care. We'll keep saying it: No one should be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will. We'll see Florida in court. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Abortion is our right. Along with Planned Parenthood, we're fighting to immediately block this law and ensure that people in Kentucky can continue to get the abortion care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Kentucky legislature was emboldened by a similar 15-week ban pending before the Supreme Court and other states passing cruel abortion bans, including Florida and Oklahoma. But this ban and others like it remain unconstitutional. — PolitiTweet.org
