  2. While today's ruling in London was far from ideal, any event that brings Assange closer to his long overdue freedom is a positive one. Video discusses the implications of today’s decision — for Assange, his personal freedom, for press freedoms, and for legal rights generally.

  4. A major reason that people have doubted or ignored health decrees from political, media and health elites is because of blatant COVID hypocrisy: exempting themselves & their activities when it suits their interests, demanding everyone else obey. People aren't dumb. They see it.

  5. Amazing that refuses to answer these basic questions about how it is that -- 6 days after announcing she was positive for COVID with symptoms -- she was somehow able to travel to Wisconsin to DC to enter the Capitol and deliver Pelosi a needed vote for Speaker.

  7. Another propagandistic asylum tactic: * When a country grants asylum to protect against US persecution, US media highlights their own abuses, claims hypocrisy, but: * When US grants asylum, they never say: how can the world's largest Prison State, with GITMO open, grant asylum?

  8. Recall that both of Brazil's center-left presidents, and , have been outspoken in their opposition to prosecution & extradition of Assange. It's hard to put into words how rogue & isolated anti-Assange US/UK neoliberals are on this:

  9. The reaction in the US/UK is predictable. The rules: * When US or UK grants asylum against political persecution, it's noble and uplifting. * When a country grants asylum to protect against persecution *by* the US/UK (like Ecuador & Russia did), it's villainous and malicious.

  10. Mexico's President AMLO announces that Mexico is offering political asylum to Julian Assange, citing not only Mexico's tradition of protecting people from political persecution but also its "responsibility" to do so.

  15. The statement also notes: "Virtually all major press freedom and human rights groups have condemned the US government’s attempt to prosecute Assange as an existential threat to journalists’ rights." It's Pompeo/CIA/neocons/US-liberals v. the world.

  16. Statement of on Assange ruling: "Today’s ruling is a huge sigh of relief for anyone who cares about press freedom...[It] means US Govt likely won’t be able to obtain any precedent that would criminalize common newsgathering practices."

  19. The long-time editor-in-chief of The Guardian -- including when the paper partnered with WikiLeaks on the 2010 documents, and when the paper worked with me to report the Snowden documents -- showing how a journalist speaks and thinks when they actually care about press freedom:

  20. Há uma diferença crucial entre a gravação de ontem do Trump e o vazamento de 2016 da ligação com Lula/Dilma. É permitido na Geórgia que um participante de uma conversa a grave e libere. Mas Moro *violou a lei* quando gravou e vazou a ligação Lula/ Dilma

    In the final minutes of the live feed from court, Assange turns to someone talking to him and we see a grin.
