I join all defenders of freedom of the press in demanding that the Biden administration drop the unconstitutional indictment of Julian Assange and accept--not appeal--the decision of the British judge not to extradite him.

Civil-Liberties Groups Ask Biden Justice Dept. to Drop Julian Assange Case (Published 2021)

A Friday deadline in the London extradition case may force the Biden administration to decide whether to keep pursuing a Trump-era policy.

No surprise Joe "God bless our troops"

@Biden

still wants to silence #Assange, a narrative-busting all too influential anti-war advocate. Nigel Blackwood proposed chemical straight-jacket to make SAMs manageable & US argues Judge Baraitser didn't realise that's OK. Stand firm UK

How would you suggest the selections be made? In the past, the selections have been made in order to bring about a desired (often political) outcome. Assange made enemies on both the authoritarian left and right, and that's perhaps a sign he did something right.

What Assange did was unconstitutional and a violation of our national security.

What did he do that was unconstitutional?

Julian Assange should be extradited to Sweden to face investigation on suspicion of rape, three cases of sexual molestation and unlawful coercion.

And the most ‘inaccurate tweet of the day’ award goes to...you. Seriously, this is borderline defamation. You should prob take it down.

I feel like I'm in a Greek tragedy. Julian Assange exposed the crimes of a war that killed Joe Biden's son. How does Biden not see the perils of prosecuting this man? #Theburnpits #FreeAssange #EndTheForeverWar
