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.

The Met Police achieve a Streisland win - finally being reported by the MSM. They must be so proud. Pratts.

More than 20 Metropolitan Police officers broke down the front door of a Quaker meeting house to arrest six women who had met to discuss climate change and Gaza.

None have been charged - but the message iOS clear. Under Labour dissent is BAD.

When a protester was caught on video in January at a NY rally against #Israel, only her eyes were visible between a mask & headscarf. But days later, photos of her entire face, along w/her name & employer, were circulated online.

Opposition parties, which have attacked the Bill as a blow to one of the foundations of Israeli democracy, boycotted the final vote.“
