U.S. Is Added to Human Rights Watchlist
(time.com)
Good, at least someone is paying attention.
USA is on a steep, purposeful decline.
Fucking awful
Overdue
We put on a great show though for awhile. Glad everyone's seeing Americas fake. Regardless of trump, America's human rights were/are pay to play.
This, if anything I am begging people to not only ignore America's authority, but to liberate us from our "masters"
We should have been added when we supported a genocide in the modern era. Its hard to imagine when we will ever live that down. We join the likes of Nazi Germany and Israel with that one. Who needs republicans when we have zionists in charge of the DNC.
You should have been added after like a century of constantly invading countries, funding extremists, setting up "revolutions" promoting their puppets, causing genocide, and doing war crimes nobody can persecute you for. Who needs zionisists when the entire country is a temple to unrestricted capitalism run by oligarchs.
Agreed. Although it seems different this time.
The US is breaking the world order that it created for its benefit after WWII, out of fascism and incompetence. The mask is off, this empire will fall and the violence is only ramping up in the meantime
Smart choice.
Genuinely.... It wasn't before???
A couple of centuries late. Even if we're only talking about their own citizens.
Reminder that slavery is still conditionally legal in the constitution (13th Amendment)
Cool, where can I flee to?
That’s what I am thinking!! I legit am a human without a state if “Mango Mussolini” in fact revokes the 14th amendment! Even thought Drumpf and Elon came here ILLEGALLY when my dad came here with a sponser from a church and became a citizen right away! GIVE ME MY TAX MONEY BACK THEN from 15-35 years on… if not then I am an American! I pay taxes and born with a SS# so wtf! If not GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK or F off! Like Drump said about egg prices, “shut up!”. From the douche lord himself!
FUCK AMERICA; WE ARE FUCKED! (New motto)
But really, where would I go?!?!
I once camped at a hick RV park on a lake. One of the RV'ers had erected a flag pole that had an American flag and below that a flag that read, "WELCOME TO THE SHIT SHOW."
I think those flags should always fly together.
I would say come here to Canada, but... 🤷♂️
You guys should build a wall.
Seriously, don't even let me in. It would just be a matter of time before I fuck something up
As an American I kind of agree.
Washington’s governor has stated that women and trans rights will be upheld against the federal government’s policies. It’s not fleeing, because we’re fighting.
Him and what financial army? US discrimination is insidious because it’s mostly done financially. For example most gender-affirming healthcare is not covered by insurance so you have to be in big debt or already rich just to survive.
Gender affirming care is covered by a lot of insurance in Washington.
Long overdue. America should've been added to a human rights watch list decades ago.
"I'm going to embarrass this country in ways you've never thought of." - dRumph, maybe
Great. I love that for us. I always said they’d let you keep your guns as a distraction and dismantle all your other rights right from under your nose
Yep.... And of course the guns you get to keep are water guns compared to the firepower the gov and military get to own. Your desert eagle hangun vs the Apache helicopter with huge canons and guns and missiles ....
While the "Who would win Batman or Superman or US army" posturing is interesting to some...I have been finding fewer and fewer reasons to expect a military confrontation.
We saw one during the George Floyd protests - Trump sent the National Guard to quell protestors. It...didn't do much, and the Guard sort of stood around, acknowledging free speech.
I have also read testimonials from those in the Army - while it is true that the (incompetent) very top new leadership, and many grunts are die-hard MAGA, the vast majority of the leadership structure is disciplined and educated in the constitution. There's supposedly already been briefings delivered on "DEI" subjects that indicates the officers are still very vocally in support of them, and they in turn are still loyally respected by their units. In short: An attack within America against Americans would feel blatantly against what most of them stand for.
ICE, on the other hand, is a fringe set of whackjobs - and thankfully they're mostly cowards that only accomplish much by stealing in and out like burglars.
Anyone on here who shouts for civil war or revolution has never watched 2 dozen Apache helicopters approaching them ready to go. Normal, untrained, unequipped citizens stand no chance. It's either going to be a bloody resistance, think northern Ireland, or guerilla war, think Vietnam.
Or, any coup against the US gov would need to get the military aligned against current structures.... That also leads to a military controlled gov.....think burma.
No of these are good options unless you are facing extreme circumstances with no other hope
Honestly a little surprised it took this long, if only for the guns alone.
...along with Italy (I am Italian and I support this due to our fascist government acting, well, fascist), Serbia (no shit), Pakistan (I am ignorant about this one) and the Democratic Republic of Congo...
...how is the DRC not in that list since forever, seriously!?!
... at least 8 years late
I wonder how long it will take for his people to start shouting a catch phrase like the sieg heil.
"Make America Great Again!"
U. S. A. ! U. S. A. !
Honestly I don't even think most realize how batshit disturbing it is for other countries to hear about their Pledge of Allegiance. Absolute North Korea levels of nationalism worship.
Number 1 leader in human rights violations well before UN definitions, since it's creation

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
