Have learned more about #russia from @frankieboyle BBC documentary than any news. "Let's talk about othering. Othering is the idea that, often for political purposes, we create a group of people different to ourselves... The same idea Putin uses to control his own society."
8/ This is the era of permanent struggle; a form of rebellion brews in which righteous renegades see possibilities for the collapse of the system of domination today.

Wrong. Psychiatric treatment is more often damaging than helpful to patients. I'm a schizophrenic who spent two years in a mental institution and it was the most dehumanising experience of my life.

For his bravery I grew more and more amazed
The Truth in all its power defy the ban

The full extradition hearing for Julian Assange resumes today and is expected to last three weeks.

Julian #Assange supporters have produced their own newspaper being distributed outside Old Bailey at start of #Wikileaks extradition trial. #WeeklyLeaks
#Assange hearings update: District Judge Vanessa Baraitser refuses to delay the proceedings until January, telling the defence that they had numerous opportunities to make the relevant application. Stark contrast to her take on the prosecution's late and updated indictment.
Unconfirmed reports entire list of 40 civil society and political monitors have had their remote access to the #Assange hearings withdrawn - after being invited to register for access last week. This includes Parliamentarians and NGOs. #FreePress

Be of no doubt that this is an attack on the right of freedom of expression.
