Einer der Hauptgründe für das Aufkommen des #populismus ist die Straflosigkeit, ja sogar die Konsequenzlosigkeit, der #korruption gegenüber.

Social media injunction unravels plans to protect 2024 elections
A July 4 #injunction that places extraordinary #limits on the #government’s #communications with tech companies #undermines initiatives to harden social media companies against #election #interference, civil rights groups, academics and tech industry insiders say.
After companies and the federal government spent years expanding efforts to combat online falsehoods in the wake of Russian interference on the platforms during the 2016 election, the ruling is just the latest sign of the pendulum swinging in the other direction.
Tech companies are #gutting their #content #moderation #staffs, researchers are pulling back from studying disinformation and key government communications with Silicon Valley are on pause amid unprecedented political scrutiny.
With voting in the 2024 primaries just months away, tech companies also are facing new #election #threats as leaps in #artificial #intelligence give bad actors new tools to create fake videos, photos and ads.

Tennessee is seriously lax on guns -- And Why is That?
Nearly 1,400 people #die each year in Tennessee by #guns, making it the 10th highest rate in the nation.
There are few requirements for gun purchases, including **no** #background #checks or #training for handgun buyers.
The state **allows** #permitless #carry, even for #concealed #weapons, for anyone over 21, and there are **no** #red #flag #laws to keep weapons out of the hands of dangerous individuals.
Last year, Republicans moved in the **opposite direction** from gun safety, with proposed bills #lowering the handgun purchase and carry age to 18 and #allowing the most dangerous guns, including #AR-15s, to be carried in public.
This was the environment in which the #mass #school #shooting occurred, and which has driven Tennessee students to take to the streets and to #protest at the Capitol.
**Gerrymandered** to the hilt
The Tennessee state House has 99 seats, with the state broken up by maps drawn by the Republican legislative supermajority.
The maps are designed to dilute Democratic representation, both in the state and in its Congressional delegation, something that the #Voting #Rights #Act and the U.S. #Constitution **used to protect against**, before the #Supreme #Court began #gutting voting rights, beginning with its #Shelby #County decision knocking out federal preauthorization for new maps.
The House district maps in Tennessee are a blatant and unapologetic #gerrymander.
For all the GOP’s talk of “political retaliation” against their presumptive presidential candidate, the real retaliation unfolded on Thursday on the front lines of the fight for gun safety in Nashville, Tennessee. Following a tragic shooting at the Covenant School in the city that left six victims dead, including three adults and three nine-year old children, more than 1,000 students marched on the Capitol building during a session of the state’s House of Representatives. The students, in the tradition of the Parkland and MSU students, went to protest the state’s utter inaction on gun safety in the wake of these shootings.
