The best statement on the clear intent of the Trump and Biden administrations to see Julian Assange, who committed no crime, die in custody, under conditions amounting to torture: https://t.co/QWbfyvDcLk
"Publishing information that is in the public interest is a cornerstone of media freedom and the public’s right to information about government wrongdoing. It is also protected under international human rights law and should not be criminalized." @amnesty https://t.co/GScxtjWxbQ
What's happening to Julian Assange is the world's slowest execution. It's payback from the government whose war crimes he exposed. It's a revenge killing because he committed journalism.
Every reporter must denounce it if only for the goal of protecting our right to do our jobs.
Read my latest in Black Agenda Report, "Why We Must Defend Julian Assange."
I'll join @kthalps and others tonight to discuss the defense of Julian Assange.

Congrats Biden! When it comes to Assange, you've sided with Trump over Obama. You continue Trump's attack on rule of law & free press. Thank you for giving up any illusion of being better than Trump on this. Tune in at 3pm w/

How dare Biden lecture a @StateDept#SummitForDemocracy today while refusing to pardon Daniel Hale and Julian Assange, thereby killing freedom of the press for “national security.” Watch this @BPFreeSpeech video (it's all worthwhile- mine starts at 46min): https://t.co/ft5J22y40a
“What we’re witnessing is criminalizing of basic journalistic practices. We’re witnessing prosecution of a journalist who is simply exposing lies & told truths of American empire” - @CornelWest on Julian Assange @kthalps@leslieleeiii#FreeJulianAssange

US media is completely useless, they yelped about freedom of the press when Trump was a dick to Jim Acosta but now that there's an actual threat in the prosecution of Julian Assange they have nothing to say or they cheer it on
BREAKING: Danbury prison officials released me this morning to serve the rest of my sentence (136 days) at home.
Huge step forward for our campaign -- but the battle for my freedom and to hold @Chevron accountable continues. So grateful.
