It's Julian Assange's Birthday! Please help if you can.

[Amnesty International Australia 🕯 @amnestyOz]

Today is Julian Assange’s 53rd birthday, his 13th spent away from loved ones and in fear of extradition to the United States.

The Australian government must do everything in its power to have the US drop the charges against him and to ensure his release.

CBC news speaks to Glenn Greenwald about attempts to extradite Julian Assange, which seeks to 'criminalize the heart of investigative journalism', as wife of Assange was granted a private audience with the Pope at the Vatican on Friday @CBCNews https://t.co/IQS7Midcnr

Julian is turning 52 tomorrow, Monday July 3rd. His fifth birthday in Belmarsh prison.

On his second birthday in Belmarsh in 2020 the kids and I baked Australian lamingtons and filmed this video for him, which he has not seen to this day.

Anyone who has spent any time on #Nostr will agree with @Snowden here:

Android people, try "Amethyst" (another nostr client) if you can't find Damus. There are probably other nostr clients too, I just haven't been keeping track of which ones are the new faves.

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

It's a good day to check out #nostr again, since somebody broke Twitter. It's a protocol, not a platform, so you can use any app or just a web browser.

No rate limits, no hostility to anonymous accounts, no bot panic. Search your app store for "Damus."

Temporary my ass! And system manipulation #WTF Clearly Elon is censoring Twitter for someone. It's definitely time for everybody to use #Nostr @damusapp @primal_app @plebstr @iristoapp

It's really crazy that Apple will unilaterally block you from running the software you want on your own device.

One of the most disrespectful parts of their culture, and it's damaging to their brand.

"Julian Assange is a victim of torture and inhuman treatment. This is a threat not just to Assange himself but to freedom of speech everywhere in the world"

"The @UN's Nils Melzer’s book is the essential, utterly forensic analysis of this case" https://t.co/oKvEq2ZVID

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

In Brazil, thousands of politicians, scholars, journalists, researchers, ex-ministers, and activists -- many on the left but not all - sign a letter urging President Lula da Silva, a vocal defender of Julian Assange, to grant asylum to Assange in Brazil.

A reminder of why Julian Assange remains in prison in the UK, Wikileaks under Assange released the Collateral Murder video

The footage shows Reuters journalists, Saeed Chmagh and Namir Noor-Eldeen being gunned down by a US Apache helicopter. Several others were killed while the US pilots laughed.

George Bush & Tony Blair are not in prison, but Julian Assange is jailed in the UK, with the US pursuing extradition to imprison him for 175 years.
