The sweeping #redstate drive to roll back #CivilRights & #liberties
by Ron Brownstein
Since 2021, #Republican-controlled states have passed a swarm of #laws to restrict #VotingRights, increase penalties for #public #protest, impose new restrictions on #transgender youth, #BanBooks, & limit what #teachers, #college #professors, & #employers can say about #race, #gender, & #SexualOrientation.

In what has to be called good news for #humanrights and #civicrights, #Beijing obviously is not done yet with the #RuleOfLaw in #HongKong.
How utterly pesky an independent #judiciary can be, right?
Time to close in on those pro-#democracy advocates I'd say.
And time for any remaining activists to leave the city for their own best.
Glory to Hong Kong!

Those of us who migrated to the land of #liberties loving what it represents, and fleeing from totalitarian governments, know how the movie begins and ends

Busts along the outside of the sadly neglected Iveagh Market. The heads supposedly represent world nations : Ireland, Turkey, Europe, Asia, Africa, America, Spain and Israel (or some say Lord Iveagh himself !).

Religious liberty has a long and messy history – and there is a reason Americans feel strongly about it

From #Berlin to #Manchester, the inhumane #regimes of #China and #Iran show their brutality abroad and that they feel nothing but full contempt for democratic #liberties and the #ruleoflaw.
Any personnel of embassies or consulates involved in acts of #violence against peaceful protestors need to be expelled right away. The #viennaconvention does not include a right to exert violence from embassies or consulates (has been an issue with #Turkey in the past as well).

The civil #liberties we generally have in the West today took centuries of strife, struggle and bloodshed to establish.
Yet some people wish to abolish or water them down using irrational, highly loaded and divisive rhetoric.
I cannot stress enough how dangerous that is.
