On this day in 2006 Julian #Assange created @wikileaks.
Julian is 52 now. He was 38 when WikiLeaks published Collateral Murder and was last free. The video shows the US army killing a dozen civilians, including two Reuters employees on assignment and the rescuers who stopped to help the wounded. Reuters formally attempted to obtain the video but the Pentagon refused to hand it over. The evidence of what had happened remained on US military servers until intelligence whistleblower Chelsea Manning sent it to WikiLeaks.
Collateral Murder had a massive impact. The millions of dollars that had been poured into Pentagon PR messaging couldn’t make the public unsee the war crime.

@BILLSCHOFIELD@mcuban In 1943 the War Labor Board, which had one year earlier introduced wage and price controls, ruled that contributions to insurance and pension funds did not count as wages. In a war economy with labor shortages, employee health benefits became a means of maneuvering wage controls
@AOC@elonmusk@AOC Have you two considered sidelining petty bullshit, working together and utilizing one another's strengths to lead? Asking for a friend.
The Remarkable Weather of 1911: The mercury went above 100 deg. in western Canada, and whalers brought back reports from the Arctic regions of open water where always before there had been solid ice. https://t.co/a2HNVhuZkP
