Dankeschön, liebe @Bundesregierung, dass wir nun entsprechend beim CIVICUS Monitor den gleichen Status wie Ungarn, die USA oder Italien haben. Zumindest gibt es noch einiges Dunkelgrün als Ausweichmöglichkeiten.

CIVICUS identifiziert Länder, in denen deren Meinung nach die bürgerlichen Freiheiten rapide abnehmen, und nimmt sie in eine Liste auf, die als „Monitor Watchlist“ bekannt ist.

Und wenn man dann noch die Herabstufung von #Civicus von beeinträchtigt auf beschränkt vor Augen hat, kommt bei mir die Frage auf: Wirklich #AmericaFirst oder ist #Schland schon Vorreiter beim Demokratie und Sozialabbau?

"A coalition of global civil society organizations has downgraded the United States’ civic health rating from 'narrowed' to 'obstructed.'

In a report released on Tuesday, Civicus, a non-profit that monitors civic freedoms in 198 countries, placed the US in its 'obstructed' category."

Just a reminder that under Donald Trump the United States was added to the CIVICUS international human rights watchlist due to a decline in civil liberties. But don't worry, everything's great, it's just fine and we're all fine and everything's fine here. #CIVICUS #humanrights #civilrights #uspoli

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.

So, yeah. America is now on an international civil rights watch list for 2025.

We share that space with Pakistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Serbia, and Italy.

While much of the American establishment and media complex works to sanitize and explain away the danger the fascist Trump regime represents, I think it's important to note that people outside of the US who don't have a vested interest in collaborating with an oligarch-controlled American fascist order, are in fact taking notice of the alarming speed with which the US is becoming an overt, open fascist dictatorship - and they *are* talking about it, even if it's not reaching very many American eyes and ears:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/09/watchlist-decline-civic-freedoms-civicus

US added to international watchlist for rapid decline in civic freedoms

"The decision to add the US to the first 2025 watchlist was made in response to what the group described as the “Trump administration’s assault on democratic norms and global cooperation”.

In the news release announcing the US’s addition, the organization cited recent actions taken by the Trump administration that they argue will likely “severely impact constitutional freedoms of peaceful assembly, expression, and association”.

The group cited several of the administration’s actions such as the mass termination of federal employees, the appointment of Trump loyalists in key government positions, the withdrawal from international efforts such as the World Health Organization and the UN Human Rights Council, the freezing of federal and foreign aid and the attempted dismantling of USAid.

The organization warned that these decisions “will likely impact civic freedoms and reverse hard-won human rights gains around the world”.

The group also pointed to the administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian protesters, and the Trump administration’s unprecedented decision to control media access to presidential briefings, among others."

Looks folks, I'm not intimately familiar with Civicus, but I mean is it *ever* a good thing when international democracy watchdog projects are comparing to you *checks notes* The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, and Serbia? I'd wager that it's not, and I'd like to remind Very Serious PeopleTM that these kinds of reports are frequently cited as justification for global sanctions and even US military intervention; including reports that are often released by far more partisan and less trustworthy observer groups than Civicus appears to be. Whether the US media reports on it or not, whether we as Americans talk about it or not, the United States is increasingly being acknowledged as a fascist pariah state by the rest of the world, and that will have consequences going forward for both the regime, and Americans as a whole.

#Mongolia downgraded to "obstructed" civil space again by #Civicus Monitor after being ranked as "narrowed" for 3 years,

Haven't had chance to really dig into what led to change, but given that V-DEM Peaceful Assembly is component in calculation of Civicus rating, guessing that V-DEM score decline is driving this rating.

It could be worse, like Germany, France, UK or the US, but it's clearly visible that the #Netherlands is by far not the country of human rights any-more. The so-called 'tolerate' country is not dead, but has never existed. It was a facade for capitalist reasons.

Civicus Monitor: *The CIVICUS Monitor downgrades the Netherlands’ civic space to "Narrowed" amid increasing repression of protest rights*

https://monitor.civicus.org/press_release/2024/netherlands

"The CIVICUS Monitor announced in a new report Wednesday that it has downgraded the Netherlands’ civic space to "Narrowed" in its annual ratings report. The rating change reflects a persistent policy of repressing peaceful protests with mass arrests, in particular against #climate protests and demonstrations in solidarity with #Palestine.

In a year that saw a global pattern of detention of protesters as the top violation documented by the #CIVICUS Monitor, the Netherlands joins a growing list of countries whose response to people challenging those in power was the unjustified use of force. Around 10% of the total civic space violations documented globally in 2024 either took place in the Occupied Palestinian Territories or were perpetrated against those expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people and calling for peace. …"

As the national elections set for January 2024 approach, there is a growing increase in actions taken against opposition groups, activists, and individuals expressing dissent in Bangladesh. Today, the global watchdog organization CIVICUS Monitor included Bangladesh in its list of countries where civic freedoms are rapidly diminishing due to a crackdown on government critics and opposition figures.
