    I’m paraphrasing but this is what Obama said to . “I’m sorry for your loss but f**k you.” In 8 years Obama DOJ only prosecuted 2 cops. The one who killed was not one of them. He is still on the force and got overtime pay for appearing in court.

    is premised on personalities, not issues. She has been largely focused on controversy for the sake of it, not talking about substance of US or Israeli policy criminality. It’s used to keep people locked in their partisan boxes and rile up “both sides”.

    A very overlooked fact - Julian Assange is a defender of other journalists as well as of sources and whistleblowers. He has assisted multiple persecuted journalists & editors from other countries to gain asylum. Taking him down is a direct threat to the physical safety of journos

    New York State gerrymandered a map to qualify Hudson Yards for $1.6 billion in financing meant for low-income areas—by threading it to public housing in Harlem. ( obtained the map info through FOIA.)

    After the Mueller Report drops, I'd like to open up The Mueller Resort™️: a place where pundits & politicians who became conspiracy theorists for 2+ years can go to decompress & have a safe space to share their unshaken belief that Donald Trump really is an agent of Russia.

    The thinks that it scored a big blow against Trump and 🇷🇺 by taking Assange prisoner. Trouble is that 🇷🇺 isn't hurt by this, while the 1st Amendment just got shredded - and they're no closer to "getting Trump" either. Trump, for his part, showed just how craven he is.

    The journalists decreeing that "Assange is not a journalist" aren't actually saying something about Assange, but about themselves. Assange engages in journalism that exposes the powerful. So those excommunicating him from journalism are saying they identify with the powerful.

    One thing that’s really bothered me about this whole gross RussiaGate business is the role that Soviet-Jewish emigre journalists have played in feeding and normalizing the xenophobic hysteria that underpins it.

    The Obama DOJ concluded that prosecuting WikiLeaks and Assange for publishing documents would pose a grave threat to press freedom - Dems who spent 2 years feigning concerns over press freedom but who now cheer the Trump DOJ for this are beneath contempt:
  • Remember when Trump administration was prepared to give Assange limited immunity? You don’t remember because no one told you. Comey and dem senator Warner killed the plan.
  •   Retweeted
    Remember when James Comey scuttled a proposed limited immunity deal for Assange after Assange offered to provide technical evidence ruling out Russia as the source of the DNC leak?
  •   Retweeted
    The words “hack” or “hacking” do not appear even ONCE in the text of the Assange indictment or the press release. So why are all the news headlines using it? They’ve been snookered by a press release HEADLINE.

    Funny how Hillary Clinton almost always supports Trump’s most hawkish moves, whether it’s bombing Syria or prosecuting a journalist
  •   Retweeted
    NYT editorial board sheepishly endorses Trump's persecution of Assange based on an evidence-free claim that Russia attacked the Clinton campaign and deems Assange's attempt to protect 's anonymity an "indisputable crime"
  •   Retweeted
    The only 2 times I can remember establishment liberals like and uniting with and cheering Trump Admin is when (a) he bombed Syria and (b) they indicted Assange (Schumer also cheered moving embassy to Jerusalem). That says a lot about their values.

    Freedom Rider: Scoundrels and Reparations by Margaret Kimberley should not be a topic for national discussion until there is something akin to a consensus among black people about what to demand and how to do it.
  • Confused about reparations? You won’t be if you read my latest column.

    We strongly condemn the detention of and the violation of freedom of speech. Our solidarity is with this brother who is persecuted by the US government for bringing to light its human rights violations, murders of civilians and diplomatic espionage

    Arresting Julian Assange for publishing is an attack on fundamental press freedom that democracy depends on. Like Chelsea Manning, US empire wants to imprison him for the "crime" of revealing what our government is doing. All who support democracy must resist!

    Just an encouraging reminder to everyone here on Lenin Moreno's disingenuous thread - there really are great leaders in Latin America who have real courage and do practice "sovereign decision" making for their nations.

    All you need to do is say the magic word "Russia" and you could turn the 'resistance' into extermination camp guards.

    Outstanding interview with as she explains what makes the Trump DOJ's indictment and extradition of Julian Assange so dangerous to press freedoms but also to general political liberties:

    For people who have spent 3 years claiming that (1) WikiLeaks is an arm of Russian intelligence and (2) Putin controls Trump, how do you reconcile those conspiracy beliefs with the fact that it was the Trump administration that devoted itself with such vigor to indicting Assange?
  •   Retweeted
    In this country we have protections for whistle-blowers, those who take personal risk to disclose wrongdoing in the public intrest. Julian Assange is not being pursued to protect US national security. He is being pursued because he has exposed wrongdoing by US administrations

    ⁩ Kweli thank you for exposing this treachery. The strategy for ADOS to get reparations is to attack famous (mostly) black people for two reasons; first, for not being black & American enough and second for being anti Donald Trump

    The extradition of Julian Assange to the US for exposing evidence of atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan should be opposed by the British government.

    THIS *REALLY**HORRIFICALLY* IS IT! -& LET IT BE SAID: "There is no excuse for any journalist anywhere not to oppose this tooth & claw. If u see anyone calling themselves a journalist but failing to oppose Assange’s extradition, you shd call them out for the frauds that they are."
