President Trump’s call for a national emergency to build a southern border wall would be a clear abuse of presidential power.

Shame on any member of Congress who doesn’t clearly and vigorously speak out on this illegitimate invocation of emergency authorities.

To end mass incarceration, we have to go further.

Let's end:
➖Cash bail
➖The War on Drugs
➖Abusive police practices
➖'Tough on crime' prosecutors

LGBTQ people of color live at multiple intersections of oppression, too often facing violence compounded by both racism and homophobia.

This isn't the America we want to live in.

Wrong answer.

The freedom of the press is a bedrock democratic principle. Under no circumstance should the government put journalists in jail for doing their job.

BREAKING: For the second time, the Senate voted against bringing to the floor a bill that would encourage states to suppress the First Amendment right to boycott.

But now Senator McConnell is going to make a THIRD attempt to push it through.

When in doubt, trust the voters of #Wisconsin. They didn’t vote for a war on #ChecksAndBalances. #NoCheating

[ACLU Madison @ACLUMadison]

#ChecksAndBalances are key to democracy, but the #Wisconsin legislature is trying to undo them right now. Give themselves ALL the power.

[ACLU Madison @ACLUMadison]

The lessons we learned in #NC seem to be lost on the #WI legislature - partisan power-grabs are opposed by voters. #WIPolitics.

[ACLU Madison @ACLUMadison]

The voters in #Wisconsin supported bipartisanship with their votes. Why are the leaders in the state legislature ignoring them? #WIpolitics #NoCheating

[ACLU Madison @ACLUMadison]

Instead of dealing with any actual problems #Wisconsin's legislature is focused on securing partisan power. #FairCourts #NoGerrymandering #NoCheating

[ACLU Madison @ACLUMadison]

Respect the election. No dirty tricks. No partisan power grab. No cheating. Focus on #Wisconsin.

[ACLU Madison @ACLUMadison]

Time to move past this tit-for-tat sniveling and focus on #WisconsinForward. End the partisan power-grab.

[ACLU Madison @ACLUMadison]

Is the #Wisconsin legislature learning from @realDonaldTrump? Partisan bullying is not how to be a real leader.
