The ACLU has not changed its position or principles. They're not doing anything new—they have represented repellent parties in the past. 2/3

If you supported their defense of civil liberties in the past, I see no reason to stop that support in light of this. 3/3

The fact that this is nothing new is exactly why I'm saying not to donate to the ACLU. They ALWAYS do this.

They dismiss real oppression against members of vulnerable populations as "not their job" and reinforce shallow Voltaire BS.

They defend _individual_ nazis, but rarely individual trans people, or black people, etc. Only fight overt _policies_ affecting latter.

Sure they sometimes do something good. Donate your money to an org that spends all of it on good rather than half on the bad guys.
