So, a group of Leftists add their two-bit opinion to the public forum. So what? They opinion and $2 will get you a cup of coffee. Did you bother to read the drivel they list as "reasons?"

In the news release announcing the US’s addition, the organization cited recent actions taken by the Trump administration that they argue will likely “severely impact constitutional freedoms of peaceful assembly, expression, and association”.

The group cited several of the administration’s actions such as the mass termination of federal employees, the appointment of Trump loyalists in key government positions, the withdrawal from international efforts such as the World Health Organization and the UN Human Rights Council, the freezing of federal and foreign aid and the attempted dismantling of USAid.

The organization warned that these decisions “will likely impact civic freedoms and reverse hard-won human rights gains around the world”.

The group also pointed to the administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian protesters, and the Trump administration’s unprecedented decision to control media access to presidential briefings, among others.
(quoted from the article in the OP)

In other words, what's go their panties in a twist is that Trump is taking a wrecking ball to their Leftist values and programs, and they don't like it.

Wow, but understandable. Trump claimed he was bringing back Free Speech then starts harassing, if not arresting, who says things he doesn't like.

How's that Golden Age working out?

BTW, don't expect a single MAGAt to agree with you. LOL

IOW, some leftists are whining and throwing a hissy fit because they're getting a bunch of "their" (stolen from taxpayers) USAID money taken away from them.

How is Ukraine (50/100) anywhere remotely close to the USA (62/100) on this list? Ukraine currently has a dictator who has banned opposition media and refuses to hold an election. They still get a 50?!?!?
