I have gone past the stage of being angry or disappointed. I feel very numb. I worry about all the people who will be targeted by this administration. Those are my thoughts right now. How can we protect the most vulnerable?
At the ACLU, we play the long game. We've been here for 105 years, through 19 presidents.
Once again, we will deploy our millions of activists and card-carrying members — alongside our 2,200 staff spanning every state, DC, and Puerto Rico — to ensure that erosions of civil rights or civil liberties will be hard-fought and hotly contested.
BREAKING: The AP just called the 2024 presidential election for Donald Trump.
We’re clear-eyed about the chaos and destruction a second Trump administration will cause to our nation.
That’s why we’re done with handwringing, admiring the problem, or waiting anxiously to see which unlawful action President-elect Trump will take on Day One. We are ready to take action the minute Trump takes the oath of office.
📢 It’s Election Day, Arkansas! For 55 years, the ACLU of Arkansas has stood by you — and we’re not going anywhere. We’re ready and here to help if you need us!

The longer I think about this the angrier I get. The UK's largest gender clinic went from one suicide in the seven years of prescribing HRT/puberty blockers to SIXTEEN in TWO years after they stopped--and NHS covered it up. They knew kids were hurting and they covered it up.

Only in AR do we declare 500 drivers licenses with "X" instead of "M" or "F" on them an emergency while we're #1 in teen pregnancy, #1 for high maternal mortality & #8 for gun violence. Trans people aren't an emergency. They're not even a problem. AR politicians are the problem.
Arkansas will now require driver’s licenses and IDs to reflect the gender listed on a person’s birth certificate.
The state’s practice of allowing driver’s license holders to use an “X” in lieu of male or female is being rescinded.

They've been talking like this in statehouses across the country for years. They've been calling us "filth," "demons," and a "contagion" for nearly as long as I've been doing this work. They have not been hiding their intent.
