Internet freedom declined in both the United States and Germany as Western democracies joined authoritarian states in imposing growing restrictions online, an annual survey by Freedom House said Thursday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/13/world/politics/internet-freedom-us-germany/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #internet #germany #propaganda #fakenews #humanrights #censorship

#Trump has accused boat crews of being *narco-terrorists*. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced

One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a fmr military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver.

The men had little in common beyond their Venezuelan seaside hometowns & the fact all 4 were among the >60 people killed since early Sept when the US #military began attacking boats the #Trump admin alleges were smuggling drugs. Trump & top US ofcls alleged the craft were being operated by narco-terrorists & cartel members bound with deadly drugs for #US communities.

The #Trump #DOJ has placed 2 federal prosecutors in Washington on leave a day after they filed a document in court that referred to the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the #US Capitol as a “riot” carried out by a “mob,” 2 people familiar with the matter said.

Imagine if they’d called it what it actually was, an #insurrection carried out by #insurgents.

In court filings, they said Taranto had entered the building with the crowd of #Trump supporters & later tussled with MPD officers who were trying to repel the crowds. Once forced outside, court documents allege, Taranto also fought with other #insurrection participants on the Capitol steps, using his cane to fend them off.

Since then, the #DOJ has dismissed or reassigned several of the prosecutors who led cases against those accused in the #insurrection, particularly in the #USattorney’s office for #DC, where Valdivia & White work.
Prosecutors charged Taranto, a 39-yo married father of 2, in 2023 with misdemeanors stemming from his role in the #Jan6 attack.

Although Valdivia & White were the primary signatories to the sentencing memo in Taranto’s case, the document also bore the name of #USAttorney #JeaninePirro, who was nominated for the role by #Trump.

The suspensions follow efforts by Trump & allies to rewrite the narrative of the #Jan6. Trump, in one of his first EOs after his return to the White House in January, pardoned hundreds of people who had been convicted of participating in the #insurrection….

Assistant #US #attorneys Carlos Valdivia & Samuel White were told they were being suspended just hours after they filed a sentencing recommendation in a case against Taylor Taranto, a Washington state man accused of participating in the #Jan6 #insurrection who is now facing sentencing for unrelated #weapons charges, acc/to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of #retribution.
