โWe must all be able to debate freely and openlyโ is crazy coming from a man who arrested over 1.3k in a month for holding pieces of cardboard that said genocide is bad.
She should be woman of the year. I donโt think itโs even fathomable how incredibly traumatizing and painful seeing yourself violated over and over again for public consumption must be. But she did it for all women.
Gisele Pelicot for woman of the year. Full stop.
The legendary Freddie Mercury would have turned 78 today.
Here are some of his best moments that have gone down in history ๐งต

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian's freedom is our freedom.
[More details to follow]
George Bush & Tony Blair launched an illegal war in Iraq, leading to the death of a million people.
Today, they're rich, rewarded & free... whilst Julian Assange languishes in prison for exposing their war crimes.
