ACLU prepares to fight Trump’s planned DEI purge
ACLU sues to block Trump’s expansion of “fast-track” deportations
ACLU is already suing the Trump administration to fight the deportations as well as the repeal of the DEI laws. Here’s a donate link if you would like to help

It’s important to remember that while the ACLU has a complicated history with who they represent for free speech cases, the purpose is to get robust legal precedent on the books through a very consistent legal stance so they’re more likely to win cases like these that protect very vulnerable people. Organizations that focus on specific kinds of legal strategies are more effective. They play the long game.
Legalism isn’t going to win us the whole war, but this is the administrative system we’re governed by, and it does throw big wrenches in their gears.
So I hope that people won’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good and support the ACLU’s work right now.
I adore the ACLU specifically because of who they will defend. Because that answer is everyone. When 45 got some of his posts censored in a free speech way, the ACLU offered to assist his lawsuit. They have defended Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter. (Those are specific names I know)
They believe that civil liberties apply to everyone. Even people you disagree with. Even people you hate. They are not defending DEI because they’re liberal hippie snowflakes. They are defending it because it’s infringing on civil liberties. I trust them in a way I trust very very few organizations these days.
