- Margaret Kimberley RetweetedI see a lot of people screaming about this, but TBH it's not all that much different than Obama classifying "all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants" to hide the true number of civilians *he* killed. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/05/under-obama-men-killed-by-drones-are-presumed-to-be-terrorists/257749/ …
- Margaret Kimberley Retweeted#InternationalWomensDay Let us pay tribute to these twelve Soviet snipers who killed a total number of 775 Nazis during WWII. In 1943, there were over 2,000 female snipers in the Soviet Armed Forces — credited with more than 12,000 confirmed Nazi kills.

- Margaret Kimberley RetweetedThis is a false dichotomy. Malcolm Nance is on MSNBC so often as a paid analyst precisely because he says insane things like this about Russia. They're feeding their partisan audience what they want to hear. That's the model and purpose of MSNBC: to validate. He's doing his job:
- Margaret Kimberley RetweetedOn the 48th anniversary of the burglary that revealed the FBI's infamous #COINTELPRO surveillance program, I spoke with Betty Medsger, the reporter who broke the story in 1971, about journalism's cultural shift toward skepticism of government secrecy in the '70s, and much more
- Margaret Kimberley RetweetedRemembering the burglary that broke #COINTELPRO - On the 48th anniversary of break-in at the #FBI’s Media, Pennsylvania field office, reporter Betty Medsger reflects on the role of whistleblowers in the pursuit of government transparency https://buff.ly/2NQK8ON by @liamhknox
- On March 8, 1971 eight people calling themselves the Citizens Committee to Investigate the FBI broke into an FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania. Documents they stole were later published by Washington Post. We wouldn’t know about #COINTELPRO if not for this act.
- Margaret Kimberley RetweetedNote the internal contradiction here: @chrislhayes argues "Manafort did collude w/ Russia" by citing the sharing of polling data for reasons, Chris later acknowledges, "we still don't know why." If we don't know why, how can we say he colluded? Might there be other explanations?
- Margaret Kimberley RetweetedThis is disgusting, and all due to the efforts of the DOJ to criminalize the publication of classified information in order to prosecute WikiLeaks and Assange: something all press freedom groups, major newspapers & even the Obama DOJ said would be a major threat to press freedom:
- Margaret Kimberley RetweetedI continue to find it astounding that media stars have spent 2 years prancing around proclaiming Trump poses a grave threat to press freedom because he tweets insults at Chuck Todd, while they ignore by far the greatest press freedom threat: their attempt to prosecute WikiLeaks.

- Margaret Kimberley RetweetedChelsea Manning jailed for refusing to testify on WikiLeaks and Assange. Whistleblowers are now being forced to testify against journalists and sent to jail when they don´t cooperate. A new angle in the attack on media freedom.
- Margaret Kimberley Retweeted** this account will be run by friends and volunteers until Chelsea is released from jail for further updates on her grand jury resistance, follow her support committee at @ResistsChelsea and please donate to her legal fund. #LeaveChelseaAlone
- #ChelseaManning was arrested today for refusing to testify before a grand jury. She needs help with legal fees. @xychelsea

- I’m glad so many white people compare #PaulManafort sentence to those that black people receive. I hope this isn’t just about Trump and they do something about the criminal injustice system.
- “Selling your country.” No. Conviction was for tax fraud. Obviously I’m opposed to draconian sentences but let’s be clear about Manafort’s crime.

- I was a guest on the Sputnik program Fault Lines today. I discussed Venezuela with @GarlandNixon and @stranahan. We start at about the 1 hour and 19 minute mark.
- Margaret Kimberley RetweetedJudge Ellis can feel compassion for Manafort, but not for the black guy he recently sentenced to life. Seems like sentencing reform works for certain ppl. But it's always been that way in this country.
- #PaulManafort sentenced to 4 years for being a tax cheat. Charges unrelated to Russian collusion charge BTW.
- Margaret Kimberley RetweetedMumia is a journalist
- When you hear about a journalist being detained in Venezuela remember that U.S. police do the same thing if they don't like what is being reported. Maybe we need regime change? I'd be in favor if it stopped police murder. #StephonClark
