BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging RΓΌmeysa Γ–ztΓΌrk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there.

Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

Tell Universities: Protect free speech on campus The ACLU is calling on universities to reject the Trump administration’s egregious overreach and to defend the rights of students and faculty. Add your name.

The White House is pushing schools to monitor and report international students and faculty for their political views β€” but that's not how free speech works.

Add your name to urge universities to reject censorship from the Trump administration.

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

Steve Bannon does a seig heil at CPAC.

Steve Bannon does a seig heil at CPAC.

No fake gesture.
No Ironic Joke.
The openly white supremacist does a Sieg Heil at CPAC and the crowd goes wild.

You don't need to ever ask what you would do during the rise of fascism in Germany 1930's ever again. You are living your answer.

Just a reminder, anti pornography policy also means eventually coming after erotica and smutty romance novels.

Tell Congress: Don't defund our communities President Trump’s decision to block trillions in federal funding to critical services already approved by Congress is a reckless, cruel, unprecedented power grab that will impact every one of us.

Donald Trump is trying to block trillions of dollars in federal funds to Meals on Wheels, Medicaid, and other critical programs that keep us safe and healthy. If allowed to go into effect, this would wreak havoc across the country.

Tell Congress: Trump cannot be allowed to defund our communities.

Oklahoma Sen. Dusty Deevers proposes bill to ban all pornography: What to know about SB593 A bill proposed by Oklahoma Sen. Dusty Deevers, R-Elgin, seeks to raise punishment for child pornography but also aims to ban pornography altogether.

In trying to ban pornography, this unconstitutional bill could also open people up to criminal charges for watching any movie with a sex scene, like:

β–ͺ️ Titanic
β–ͺ️ The Notebook
β–ͺ️ Challengers
β–ͺ️ Dirty Dancing
β–ͺ️ Babygirl
β–ͺ️ Pretty Woman
β–ͺ️ Brokeback Mountain

The First Amendment protects sexual content.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

Relational intelligence is directly related to climate change. When we have quality relationships w/family, friends, partners, & within our community, we seek to do no harm and nurture each otherβ€”including our planet. We must love and love well to heal our world. #climatechange #climateaction
