    Edward Snowden Retweeted Ruptly

    Images of Ecuador's ambassador inviting the UK's secret police into the embassy to drag a publisher of--like it or not--award-winning journalism out of the building are going to end up in the history books. Assange's critics may cheer, but this is a dark moment for press freedom.https://twitter.com/Ruptly/status/1116277306161618944 …

        Edward Snowden Retweeted

        For the folks reflexively saying "there weren't any secret police!", here's the reporter who was on the ground saying some of the arresting officers had been staking out the embassy in plain clothes for days. https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/1116285704630407168 …

        Not exactly... from the article "In order to proceed with the case, Julian Assange would have to be formally notified of the criminal suspicions against him. We cannot expect to receive assistance from Ecuador regarding this. Therefore the investigation is discontinued."

        Edward, I have supported Julian in the past but after Assange support of fascist racist Donald trump, for him to talk about freedom is a joke. He supported a trump a man who denies climate change, who support white nationalism and who constantly attacks the press. now he pays
