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
Anonymous has ongoing operations to keep .ru government websites offline, and to push information to the Russian people so they can be free of Putin's state censorship machine.
We also have ongoing operations to keep the Ukrainian people online as best we can.
My holiday wish is that the US drops the charges & extradition madness so
#Assange
can spend next Christmas in freedom with
@StellaMoris1
& their young boys.

@chrislhayes
This is an act of espionage, but also a catastrophic failure of cyberdefense. NSA whistleblowers I represent have faced jail for saying this out loud.
Judge refused to extradite
#Assange
bc of inhuman US prison conditions. I hope judges in
#RealityWinner
’s case take judicial notice of this & reconsider compassionate release.
NYT has sprawling front-page article on air strikes that killed scores of innocent civilians. Why is
#Assange
in prison bc
@wikileaks
reported the same thing??
BREAKING:
#Assange
loses case to avoid extradition. Basically, the judge is persuaded by US “assurances” that they won’t put him in a Supermax. Huge loss for
@wikileaks
&
#freepress
.
We’ve represented the most ppl investigated, charged, and/or prosecuted under the
#EspionageAct
for truthful public interest leaks to the press. The UK should NOT extradite

My mom in Macon, GA has COVID-19. I told the hospital I was pretty sure where she got it. They said, “We don’t do contact tracing in GA.” So I took it upon myself to notify her real estate agency and co-workers.
@Snowden
I assumed everything in the Embassy was under surveillance. I remember writing notes back & forth w/ Julian & then eating them (I brought my own edible paper.)
It’s a sick & dangerous perversion of the word “whistleblower” to use it for self-appointed moral enforcers of Texas’ draconian abortion law. Full stop.
@DevinCow
Guy in apt down hall asks me out. Chooses classy restaurant. Bill comes. I offer to split it, but he says he’s a Marxist — f/ each according to his ability, blah, blah, blah — and since I had higher income, I’d have to pay more.
#NoSecondDate
The first protesters are arriving at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to demand that Julian Assange will be reconnected to the Internet.
#ReconnectJulian
It should shock NOBODY that my worst cyber tormentors these past few years have been affiliated with
#QAnon
. And if you joined in piling on, you’re not just the grift but the guilty.
Know who never had the option to bond out? A VETERAN with NO CRIMINAL HISTORY, accused of a NON-VIOLENT offense, taken based on her conscience.
#FreeRealityWinner
Great piece on how “govt uses criminal

probes to punish journalists for unflattering articles.” But it omits the most flagrant & egregious example this century:
@wikileaks
Julian
#Assange
Whistleblower
#RealityWinner
, w/ history of resp illness & eating disorder, made similar request. Hope she gets same favorable treatment as Trump’s pal.
President Trump has requested the immediate preparation of paperwork needed to pardon several service members accused or convicted of war crimes, indicating that he plans to pardon the men around Memorial Day

@davidmirandario
This is heartbreaking. I’m profoundly sorry the loss of David. He left this world a much better place than he found it — through passion and compassion, empathy and strength, and sheer force of humanity. I hope his memory brings a small sliver of comfort to you, the boys, and all
@kateirby
This is such colossal BS:
1)
@DevinNunes
has his own friggin security detail.
2) Nunes can report harassing tweets.
3) Nunes can block harassers.
4) Nunes can get off Twitter.
5)
@DevinCow
prolly has even more tips (pun intended.)
Vaccine comes f/ the Latin word for cow (“vacca”) bc cowpox was the first vaccine used to prevent smallpox. So in honor of

#StopCOVID19
The techniques used on alleged
@wikileaks
whistleblower
#Schulte
are considered torture: long-term solitary confinement, sleep deprivation, sensory overload, starvation…
#Assange
has reason to be worried, despite the US’s deceptive & unenforceable “assurances.”
“Fauci was accused of...being in a secret cabal w/ Soros. His family got death threats.”
⬆️⬆️⬆️
Trump NORMALIZED this repugnant behavior. I was accused of being in a conspiracy w
@DevinCow
, working w Soros, and feared for my safety.
#Unacceptable
Thinking abt veteran
#DanielHale
, who is in prison for blowing the whistle on the
#drone
program. Like so many
#veterans
, he suffers f/ PTSD, moral injury & the scars of conscience.

There should be a Nunes Victims Compensation Fund to reimburse
@DevinCow

My daughter is at the Naval Academy and then will serve for 7 years defending this nation. She needs and deserves the meager $270 per week that she earns.

"Woodward reports new details on Russia's election meddling, writing that the NSA and CIA have classified evidence the Russians had placed malware in the election registration systems of at least two Florida counties, St. Lucie and Washington."
Bc presidents f/ *both* political parties have abused classification system &

to chill investigative journalism & punish sources, the differences bt Trump's actions & everyone else's will never resonate the way
@TheJusticeDept
hopes.
Shame on
@WaPo
for not checking w/
@Snowden
’s lawyers in the US. This misleading headline makes it sound like he renounced his US citizenship and swore fealty to Russia. He & his wife remain Americans.
Not in NYT exposé on civilian drone deaths:
Children were referred to as “fun-sized terrorists” or “TITS” (Terrorists in Training) to justify their deaths.
PSA: Me & many others are getting a spam text that looks like the image below. On iPhone, I 1) blocked all 20 numbers [it took a few minutes] & 2) forwarded the text to 7726 [the FCC’s spam complaint #].
@DrJenGunter
I just tell them I’m recovering from rectal prolapse surgery, a “female infection,” etc. and need my leg room to “properly air things out.”
#Assange
created a reverse dead man’s switch by giving
@DanielEllsberg
a copy of the Iraq war logs before they came out in the press. This revelation opens the door to a robust Motion for Selective & Vindictive Prosecution if he’s extradited.
Thank you, Tweeps, for your outpouring of support. You restore my faith in humanity & show that the 1st Amendment is not a f*ucking technicality. ❤️😊💪🏻
