@thetrustfalldoc #PardonAssange so that he may move forward with his life @POTUS

Julian Assange did not deserve over a decade of ill treatment & prison time for publishing the truth.
Assange does not deserve a criminal record for journalism.

Leave a legacy @JoeBiden
Journalism is not a crime

[THE TRUST FALL: JULIAN ASSANGE - Documentary @thetrustfalldoc]

‘"Julian is slowly recovering. He is doing a lot of physical activities: long bike rides, swimming in the ocean, long walks... So his colour is coming back. It moves me when I see him, in the Australian wilderness, looking at the waves for a long time. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that what I see is real.”
- Stella Assange, Sep 2024
The whole world must know the story of what they did to Julian and WHY! Help us continue to share this story with as many people as possible!

Democrats Have Decided To Just Ignore American Muslims This Election Cycle

A new poll from the Council on American-Islamic Relations has Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein beating Kamala Harris among American Muslims in three key battleground states, with an especially large lead in Michigan.

Among Muslims, Stein leads Harris 35 percent to 29 percent in Arizona, 44 percent to 39 percent in Wisconsin, and a whopping 40 percent to 12 percent in Michigan.

This would be interesting in and of itself, but what really stands out for me is the extreme contrast between how American Muslims and the rest of the US population are polling right now. An August report by the Statista Research Department has Jill Stein polling at just 0.2 percent overall among the general population, with Harris leading the Green Party candidate by 46.8 percent to 0.2 percent in Arizona, by 47.7 percent to 0.8 percent in Wisconsin, and by 46.1 percent to 0.9 percent in Michigan.

To call this a night and day difference would be a severe understatement. Clearly Muslim Americans are seeing something they care deeply about this election season which the rest of the population has decided doesn’t matter very much.

That something is of course the US-backed genocide in Gaza, which the Biden-Harris administration has been forcefully supporting for nearly a year. Stein opposes these atrocities, while Harris is currently serving in the administration that’s making them possible. Activist campaigns like the Uncommitted National Movement have been rallying pro-Palestinian voters to pressure Biden and Harris to stop the slaughter in Gaza under the threat of losing their votes, and now polls show that those votes are hemorrhaging into the Green Party among Muslims.

And I just think it says a lot that American liberals have decided to simply ignore this. Not just the leadership of the Democratic Party — who famously refused to allow any Palestinian Americans to even speak at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month — but ordinary members of the public as well.

White non-Muslim liberals, who would normally claim to stand with Muslim Americans and support listening to black and brown voices, have decided to simply turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to what their Muslim neighbors are saying this election cycle.

Everything this particular marginalized community is saying gets met with fingers in the ears. Any other minority group on any other issue at any other time and it would be “I hear you, I see you,” but when it comes to this particular religious minority group with regard to ending an actual genocide, they are saying the exact opposite.

Which, just like the destruction of Gaza itself, says so much about where the real values of mainstream western liberalism actually lie. It’s not about being good, it’s about feeling good. It’s not about being moral, it’s about feeling moral. It’s not about fighting for justice and equality, it’s about fighting for electoral wins and emotional comfort. While people who actually care are trying to wake everyone up to the reality of the nightmare in Gaza, American liberals are trying to get everyone to shut up and stop shaking the bed so everyone can go back to sleep.

What’s happening in Gaza should radicalize you against status quo politics, and if you are a good person, it will. The fact that Democrats of all levels are so completely incurious and indifferent toward what Muslims in their country have been saying since October shows they are not good people, and shows they are not what they pretend to be.

I feel he deserves a very special and monumental ‘Thank You’ for turning the tide.

Professor Mearsheimer makes his case why Julian Assange should not be extradited to the U.S and be pardoned. Something worth seeing before his final appeal on July 9. Incredibly rare for him to discuss a public statement on non-geopolitical issue

Flight VJ199 will soon take off for Saipan.

Saipan is a remote US overseas territory. He will be entering the United States. Julian won’t be safe until he lands in Australia. Please keep tracking his flight. #AssangeJet

Soulagée d'apprendre aujourd'hui que la justice a décidé d'auditionner Julian #Assange.

Mais ce sursis est insuffisant. Avec plusieurs eurodéputés, nous avons réécrit au ministre de l'intérieur du 🇬🇧 pour lui demander de refuser son extradition. Ces poursuites doivent cesser !

World exclusive: In major breaking news, International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor @KarimKhanQC tells me @IntlCrimCourt is seeking arrest warrants for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the October 7 attacks on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "The Americans, Israelis and Britain are saying the International Criminal Court does not have jurisdiction. How do they have jurisdiction when Israel isn't a signatory and Palestine isn't a state?"

Toby Cadman, "The report declare that Palestine is a state for the purpose of the Rome statute of the International Criminal Court.. The attacks in Gaza is part of an international armed conflict"

KGM, "Does this mean that if an arrest warrant is granted, any country that is a signatory to the ICC would have an obligation arrest Netanyahu if he sets foot in their country?"

Toby Cadman, "Yes"
