We're thrilled to have honored Colin Kaepernick as one of the recipients of the ACLU Ralph Ellison Award this past weekend. Colin's dedication to racial justice and youth civic participation has shifted advocacy in professional sports, and made our nation better.

Since last year, the Trump administration has bombed dozens of civilian boats near the Caribbean, killing at least 221 people. This military campaign isn’t just illegal and immoral — it has also done nothing to stop drugs from entering the U.S. Congress must end this senseless killing spree.

Federal immigration agents are shooting people in the streets and killing people in immigration detention. These aren’t isolated events. Our leaders must act now, and pass a bill that would protect our immigrant neighbors from the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant agenda.

We're on Capitol Hill today with students from our National Advocacy Institute and ACLU staff from across the nation to demand that our lawmakers defend immigrants' rights.

Border agents should never be allowed to indiscriminately go through our cell phones, laptops, or any other electronic device. Know your rights.

The public is catching on to Flock's surveillance scheme — and successfully fighting back against the company's efforts to expand its network of creepy cameras even more. Flock can't stop the power of the people.

Marimar says the only thing worse than the physical scars of an immigration agent shooting her are the mental scars that will always remind her of the time her own government tried to kill her. The days of ICE and CBP acting with impunity must be over.

Too many people have lost their lives due to ICE's violence and negligence. These devastating tragedies are a predictable result of President Trump and Stephen Miller's anti-immigrant campaign. Tell our leaders in Congress to stop enabling ICE's violence at aclu.org/stop-ice_killings

From housing and health care to education and scientific research, critical programs would be at risk if the Trump administration follows through with its plan to weaponize federal grant funding. This proposal isn't just unlawful, it's an attack on our communities.

Participants in our National Advocacy Institute for youth and our broader community joined us to honor our collective fight to build a more perfect union and to uplift key individuals' contributions. Our honorees included Bruce Springsteen and Colin Kaepernick for their tireless, powerful advocacy.

We're telling the FCC to drop this proceeding and stop abusing its power to censor and punish content it doesn’t like. We have a right to speak, joke, and think freely — and with your help, we're making that clear to the government.

The FCC is demanding certain ABC stations file license renewals earlier than they're otherwise scheduled to in apparent retaliation for Jimmy Kimmel's jokes about the Trump administration. Help us flood the FCC with comments objecting to this attack on freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

Megan's calling it like it is: These are regressive, oppressive attacks on women and girls.

Last night we recognized individuals who are advancing the fight to protect civil rights and civil liberties across the U.S. We applaud Colin Kaepernick, Bruce Springsteen, Vanita Gupta, Erwin Chemerinsky, and Elizabeth Foster for being steadfast advocates and leaders.

A panel of judges ruled that Dr. Suri must be able to challenge his unconstitutional detention as his immigration case proceeds. After two courts got it wrong in the cases of Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi, this is an important decision. We'll keep seeing the Trump administration in court.

We can't arrest and institutionalize our way out of homelessness. The Trump administration is determined to trample the rights, dignity, and well-being of people who are unhoused or in behavioral health crises. Alongside partners, we'll continue challenging these injustices and demanding better.

• The Department of Health and Human Services has walked back support for several life-saving programs, including evidence-based practices proven to reduce drug overdose deaths.

• The federal government has proposed unlawful and extreme changes to how the Department of Housing and Urban Development funds vital homelessness and supportive services. • The VA has stripped unhoused veterans' rights through Project Safe Harbor, which forces certain veterans into guardianship.

A year ago, the president issued an executive order telling states to criminalize unhoused people and institutionalize people with mental health disabilities and substance use disorder. This fits into a broader pattern of Trump administration policy changes that only harm these populations. 🧵

Politicians shouldn't be bullying kids for playing sports with their friends. It’s not complicated.
