Members of Congress have the right to visit ICE facilities unannounced — it's their job and their constitutional responsibility. ICE can’t hide their cruelty and mistreatment of immigrants just because they want to.

We're at the Supreme Court today defending trans kids' freedom to play the sports they love. Politicians are hoping to use this issue to legitimize their effort to push transgender people out of public life — we won’t allow it. This case is about more than a game.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself. Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

We refuse to tolerate ICE’s lawless attacks on our communities. Call on Congress to block any additional funding for ICE at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks-

ICE murdered and smeared an innocent woman and now Trump's cronies are TRYING TO PROSECUTE HER WIFE www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

Our immigrant communities need us all to stand up for them! Learn how to take action at Showing Up for Racial Justice's event, “Solidarity & Rapid Response: a 2-part training on showing up for immigrant communities” www.mobilize.us/surj/event/8...

Helen Keller was an activist, author, and educator who championed the rights of people with disabilities and co-founded the ACLU.

As an alum and former Penn athlete, I’m disappointed in @upenn.bsky.social. Trans girls and women belong in sports!

The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to ban transgender women from its women's sports teams to resolve a federal civil rights case.

“This is immediate death to thousands of small businesses.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/p...

The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. Tell your Senator to reject this harmful legislation.

This admin is turning on the firehose hoping you’ll burn out and give up. But you don’t have to do it all. Do one thing, take one step each day. Put your phone down. Take a walk. Find the thing that moves you and focus. If we all find our one thing, we’ll build something better—together.

Eight people in South Sudan, including five children, died on a three-hour walk to seek medical treatment for cholera after US aid cuts forced local health services to close, the UK-based charity Save the Children said reut.rs/3E9kB27

Such good news! These kids never should have been taken but grateful to know they’re no longer in ICE detention. “In this difficult time, the strength and compassion of our community have shone through to support our missing family and the entire school community.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/n...

He’s in 3rd grade. Same age as my son. ICE knocked on the wrong door. No crime. No reason. He was handcuffed. Detained. He’s 8 years old. This should shatter you. It should enrage you. No matter your politics, NO ONE should be okay with this. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

President Trump's executive actions are having real-world consequences for trans youth and the families who love them. No one should have to navigate court battles to access necessary medical care.

We’re in court today defending Rümeysa Öztürk's right to free speech after she was snatched off the street for an op-ed she wrote. The Trump administration’s retaliation against international students for their protected speech is unconstitutional — we’re fighting back.

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

We had a great time at the Hands Off! March in NYC, with 120K others, exercising our rights!

I'm gonna write a self-help book and call it, "Girl, Eat a Carb," and each page is just going to be advice on what to eat with which trauma. Pasta for heartbreak, donuts for work stress, cereal for friendship drama, bagels for an existential crisis, etc. Maybe some recipes.

BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants. This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.

The Trump administration claims that the Fourth Amendment permits them to search our electronic devices when we're at the border, regardless of whether they have a warrant. This week we urged an appeals court to reject that argument and protect our right to privacy.

Sen. Cory Booker—a Black man—just BROKE segregationist Strom Thurmond's record for longest floor speech in US Senate history. Thurmond spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes in opposition to civil rights. Booker has now spoken for 24 hours and 19 minutes against Trump's abuses against Americans' rights.

Cory Booker is STILL going. This is what resisting fascism looks like. I don’t care if it’s not a “real” filibuster. Booker is taking drastic action to show his constituents that they are not alone. More of this, please.

Senator Booker is still going 👊🇺🇸🔥 www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

Cory Booker

He’s still going!! Thank you @booker.senate.gov and those who are supporting his marathon speech! THIS is what it means to meet the moment & standing up for American democracy 🇺🇸 youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

Last wk we filed a lawsuit to protect unaccompanied children's right to legal counsel after the Trump admin eliminated federal funding for legal rep. One client is a 16 yo who survived sex trafficking & fled her home country w/her baby to end the nightmare. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Today is the day, Wisconsin! We have the opportunity to elect a pro-civil liberties majority to the state Supreme Court — and all of our rights, including our right to abortion care, hang in the balance.

Each year on March 31, the world observes Transgender Day of Visibility to raise awareness about transgender people. It is a day to celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people. Learn more at glaad.org/tdov

Nobody should be disappeared from the streets of Somerville – or anywhere in America. Everyone should be alarmed by the video of Rumesya Ozturk being handcuffed and taken away by agents. The government must immediately release her. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/26/m...

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

As the Trump Administration brazenly defies federal court orders, America now faces its most perilous moment since the Civil War. My statement:

A queer Venezuelan seeking asylum in the U.S. was deported and “disappeared” after immigration officials reportedly misinterpreted his tattoos as symbols for the violent Tren de Aragua gang, according to his legal team.

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

A few weeks ago, I argued in the Post that the Trump administration was ushering in a new era of re-segregation. Now, here we are. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

We'll continue to argue that the administration is misusing a wartime policy to carry out their mass deportation agenda. Cruelty is not a policy solution — and this fight is not over.

Today is the last day that the State Department is taking public comments about its policy denying accurate passports to trans, intersex, and nonbinary people. Tell the Trump administration to abandon this discriminatory action NOW.

Utah could soon become the first state in the country to ban Pride flags from all public property. LGBTQ people are here to stay, and no amount of hateful legislation can change that.

Schumer’s failure to lead in this critical moment was a betrayal of the Democratic Party, its voters, and our democracy. We need a Senate Minority Leader who will actually fight back against Trump, not fold to him. The stakes are too high for failed leadership. Make sure your senators hear from you.

In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.

You know people are furious when they show up at an 8am protest at @schumer.senate.gov house. Chuck you are betraying us. It’s not too late to change your mind and actually fight back! @indivisible.org @socialists.nyc @riseandresist.bsky.social @marisakabas.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social

#FreeMahmoudKhalil! @5calls.org can we add this as a call to action?

MORE OF THIS. Thank you @algreen.house.gov!! 🇺🇸 #DefendDemocracy

Claudette Colvin was 15 when she defied segregation #OTD in 1955 by refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery city bus — 9 months before Rosa Parks did the same. A court put her on probation & she was branded a troublemaker for her activism. #TheMarchContinues

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.
