I agree, the fall of the ACLU has been particularly disappointing. The former longtime executive director Ira Glasser has done a number of press interviews on how the ACLU has been taken over by 'progressive' ideologues who don't support free speech or other civil liberties.

I was amazed at their intervention in a recent lawsuit where they argued against releasing public records. The ACLU of old would never have done this.

I think this case is also what you are referring to when you mention denial of biological facts? For others reading this comment, here's what the ACLU actually submitted to the court:

> Proposed Intervenors deny the allegation that "it is precisely a combination of anatomy, genitalia, and physical characteristics that differentiate men from women[.]" Proposed Intervenors also deny the allegation that "human beings" are "sexually dimorphic, divided into males and females each with reproductive systems, hormones, and chromosomes that result in significant differences between men[] and women[.]"

It is absurd. They have really lost the plot.

Best not to waste your time on any of this microblogging rubbish. It only leads to misery.
