Kann man mit #Trump zufrieden sein? Daten aus den #USA +++ Wieder ein Anschlag auf die #Demokratie – Die #CDU #CSU will das #IFG abschaffen #Informationsfreiheitsgesetz | Der #Politicker für #Demokratie und #Freiheit #Poll #Democracy #VoterSatisfaction
The termination emails were riddled w/mistakes — w/employees’ names, the month of April & even the institute’s title misspelled in places — a telling sign of the rushed & haphazard nature of the operation….
By Saturday morning, the terminated #USIP headquarters staff were already discussing filing a class-action lawsuit & were debating whether to sign their termination documents.
…#USIP & members of its fired board filed a lawsuit, naming #DOGE & its reps, #Trump & members of his Cabinet. The suit claims the #ExecutiveBranch had no authority to dismiss the leadership & staff of the institute because it was created by the #LegislativeBranch [#Congress], nor could it take over USIP’s privately owned HQ building. Briefs in the case are scheduled during April, with a hearing near the end of the month.
Listening back to "Democracy", by Leonard Cohen.

"Democracy is coming to the U.S.A"
#USIP employees told WaPo that 200–300 people — nearly the entirety of USIP’s HQ staff — had been fired. The employees, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of #retribution from the #Trump admin, said some employees were offered severance & one additional month of health insurance, in exchange for their signatures to WAIVE their RIGHTS to sue.

This Day in #History: The 15th Amendment (1870)
The right to vote regardless of race was guaranteed today in 1870. In this #PBS Frontline #video, reporter Alexis Johnson explains how this promise was quickly undermined through organized violence and discriminatory laws like poll taxes and literacy tests.
The struggle continued until the 1965 Voting Rights Act—and many challenges remain today.

Die #USA wollen sich immer mehr in europäische Belange einmischen. Ich sehe das als Angriff auf unsere demokratische, pluralistische #Gesellschaft .
Wir müssen dem widerstehen!
“The culprit is a cognitive dynamic called belief polarization. As we interact with our political allies, we are exposed to forces that render us more radical in our beliefs and increasingly hostile to those who do not share them. What’s more, the social environments we inhabit in our day-to-day lives are sorted along partisan lines. We are surrounded by triggers of political extremity and animosity. Thus, our ordinary activities encourage the attitude that democracy is possible only when everyone agrees–a profoundly antidemocratic stance.” #Democracy #philosophy

As hurricane and wildfire seasons loom, the Trump administration works to disable the Federal Emergency Management Administration:
Musk Targeted FEMA. Storm-Battered Communities Are Paying a Price.
So #Musk uses #X and his AI stuff to let the particular department know who has liked a anti genocide post, so they can be deported. That's what it is right?
It's not enough for users, organizations, institutions, political parties to have a second account on Bluesky or #Mastodon. You've to leave #X or you're not worth #democracy.
