Along with our partners, we’re urging the independent Election Assistance Commission to follow the law and not implement President Trump’s recent executive order that would upend U.S. elections.

Trump doesn’t have the power to undermine our electoral processes.
In a joint letter with @aclu.org, @lwvsf.bsky.social, NAACP and NAACP LDF, we explained to the Election Assistance Commission why it would be unlawful for them to follow the president's recent exec order—which could block millions from voting—and urged them to stand firm and comply with the law. 1/4
Letter to Election Assistance Commission on Executive Order on Voting and Elections
The letter from civil rights groups explains why the president’s order is illegal and should not be followed.

With advancing AI, video surveillance can now record our movements, catalogue private details of our lives, and put that info in searchable databases that anyone can access.

Lawmakers must take action to protect our privacy.

In America, even with a valid study visa, you can be picked up off the street at random and detained by homeland security (if you’re a Muslim that co-writes something that the government doesn’t agree with).

Land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy.

This is Soviet level shit.
