The Democracy Index Joyce Vance May 24 This week’s edition of The Democracy Index, which you’ll find over at The Contrarian starts with the disgraceful spectacle of Donald Trump forcing South Africa’s President to watch a video portraying patently false accusations by white supremacist that South Africa is conducting a “genocide” of white South African farmers. It ends with a federal judge in California blocking DOGE’s efforts to dismantle our government, at least for now. Head on over and get a look at our Index of how we are doing in the time of Trump. The Democracy Index is a great share with friends and family who have less time to keep up with developments, but still want to understand the throughlines and see what’s happening to our democracy. Our interactive graphic makes it easy to do a deep dive on the issues that interest you the most. The Democracy Index is available for free, because knowledge matters. We’re in this together, Joyce
