US placed on rights watchlist over health of its civil society under Trump

A group of global civil society organizations have placed the US on a watchlist for urgent concern over the health of its civic society, alongside Turkey, Serbia, El Salvador, Indonesia and Kenya.

Civicus pointed to three major issues including the deployment of military to quell protests, growing restrictions placed on journalists and civil society, as well as the aggressive targeting of anti-war advocates surrounding Palestine.

FUN TIME:

I'm talking to my friend and she was watching a bunch of WW2 themed movies and getting super depressed.

Lots of "Nazis are bad" movies with lots of suffering.

I suggested she lean into the "The Good Guys Punch Nazis" movies.

Outside of "Inglourious Basterds" and "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," what other movies do you suggest?

(Edit: and the Indiana Jones movies)

Thanks in advance.

The #UnitedStates was added to the CIVICUS Monitor #Watchlist due to concerns about declining #CivilLiberties, particularly under the #Trump Administration. #CIVICUS, a global alliance of civil society groups, cited actions such as: cuts to #ForeignAid; crackdowns on #diversity initiatives; attempts to restrict #MediaFreedom or the #FreePress; and threats to #dissent. The #WhiteHouse has rejected this assessment, asserting that President Trump is leading the most transparent administration in history.

“Civicus described Trump’s actions since taking office as an “unparalleled attack on the rule of law” not seen “since the days of #McCarthyism in the twentieth century”, stating that these moves erode the checks and balances essential to democracy.”

Continued thread

So, I'm pretty riveted to THK. I fell off Caged Again, but I was enjoying it, so I plan to pick it up again.

I haven't managed to get into Petrichor, but it's not that I think it's bad. More like I haven't been up for that type of show lately? I'll try again.
