"#Amazon, #Meta, and #Tesla have earned the rather dubious honor of being named some of the worst corporate underminers of democracy by the world's largest trade union federation.
The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) published a list of 7 companies it said were #emblematic of the ways large corporations have begun tossing their weight around to influence global affairs.
"…protects and expands [their] own profits by #undermining #democracy."

The new interconnected breed of #autocrats gains and retains power
-- by deception --
globally #undermining #democracies through their own institutions
An autocratic wave has crept up on us in the U.S. -- and over the world in the last decade.
#Democracy and #autocracy were once seen as two separate and distant worlds
with little in common,
and that the triumph of one weakened the other.
Now, however, autocrats across the globe,
in poor and wealthy nations,
in established and nascent democracies,
and from the right and left,
are using the same tactics to ⚠️dismantle democracies from within.
As of 2021, of the 104 countries classified as democracies worldwide,
37 had experienced moderate to severe deterioration in key elements of democracy,
such as open and free #elections,
fundamental #rights and liberties,
civic #engagement,
the rule of #law,
and checks-and-#balances between government branches.
This democratic backsliding wave has accelerated since 2016 and infiltrated all corners of the world.
What are #straightwashing and #ciswashing? The worrying #trends #undermining #LGBTQ+ #progress.
In recent years #film #critics have introduced the term “straightwashing” to highlight the #marginalisation of the #LGBTQ+ #community in #Hollywood, #television, #literature and in #history.

You probably know #Stephen #Miller as an #election #denier, a perennial Fox News guest, and, most famously, as the Trump adviser 🔸who proposed immigration policies so brutal that his own uncle spoke out against him. 🔸
These days, Miller also helms a hard-right law firm that is bent on eradicating any and all diversity efforts, everywhere from NASCAR to law schools.
You can think of Miller’s 💥America First Legal💥 ( #AFL ) firm as sort of a #low-#rent version of the longtime conservative law firm 💥Alliance Defending Freedom💥 (ADF).
Where ADF knows enough to present a professional facade while trying to #eradicate #abortion, enshrining into law #bigotry against LGBTQ people, and #undermining #public #health efforts in the middle of a pandemic, AFL displays no such restraint.

This doesn't surprise me. The #elite or #powerful (even at low levels e.g. #management) often have a sense of #narcissistic #entitlement which seems to cloud their #ability to have #social #responsibility. This leads to everything from #undermining & #micromanaging to #sexism #harassment & #bullying.

This fundamental interpretive shift is noteworthy and prompts serious #questions regarding the #RFRA's #congruity with the #Constitution.
#ConstitutionalAmendments like the #1stAmendment must not be #altered or #misconstrued through the #enactment of #ordinary #legislation like the #RFRA. Such #alterations must be viewed as #undermining the inherent #authority of the #constitution and its #amendments, potentially creating #legal #discrepancies and #loopholes. (6/8)
Houston, TX schools superintendent: "Kids are reading below the levels they should."
Also Houston schools superintendent: "We're closing our school libraries."
Not kidding. Both of these statements are in the same story. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2023/07/26/hisd-to-eliminate-librarians-turn-libraries-into-discipline-centers-at-28-campuses/

Pro-Trump Republicans — not Alvin Bragg — are 'undermining the rule of law' says former Reagan speechwriter
The #party #line among Trump's Republican defenders is that Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin #Bragg, Jr., who has been investigating Trump for alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, is #undermining the rule of #law and that the indictment is an overtly #partisan attack on the ex-president.
But one person on the right who doesn't see it that way at all is veteran opinion columnist/author and #former Nancy #Reagan #speechwriter #Mona #Charen.
In an article published by The Bulwark on April 4, the Never Trump conservative argues that it is #MAGA #Republicans, not Bragg, who is #attacking the rule of law.
