ACLU

Founded 1920, the ACLU is a civil-liberties absolutist: free speech (even for hated groups), separation of church and state, criminal-justice reform, immigrants' rights, anti-surveillance, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, against the death penalty. The ACLU is famously not a gun-control organization — they've historically been skeptical of expanded background checks on due-process and data-sharing grounds. Paxton loses on church-state separation (Ten Commandments, school prayer), immigration enforcement, surveillance posture, abortion, LGBTQ rights, and voting rights; he wins partial credit on selective Second Amendment cases. Talarico wins on church-state separation, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, criminal-justice reform, immigration, and voting rights. He loses some ground on his gun-safety positions and on social-media content-moderation regulation, both of which raise civil-liberties concerns.
