I miss @Edward Snowden on #Nostr and to my astonishment I discovered him regularly posting on Twitter. I don't make a complaint because I don't know his situations. But I liked this post by him there very much: 👇 # "People go through their whole lives without realizing that if, like, one conference center's worth of open source developers all happened to disappear at the same time, humanity would end up gnawing bones in a cave by the end of the year. # I don't know your names, but thank you." He added a photo to this post. I put that here too. 👇 And here is the link to his original post: 👇

"Stella Assange, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s wife, said the “world is watching” her husband’s extradition appeal hearing Tuesday. “We have two big days ahead. We don’t know what to expect, but you’re here because the world is watching. They have to know they can’t get away with this,” Stella Assange said at a protest outside of the Royal Courts of Justice in London, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Julian needs his freedom, and we all need the truth,” she continued." https://thehill.com/policy/international/4478370-assanges-wife-world-watching-extradition-appeal-hearing/

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS FOUNDATION: "Don’t be fooled. It doesn’t matter if #Assange is a journalist. The Assange prosecution places journalists squarely in the DOJ’s crosshairs by seeking to criminalize common ways that journalists cultivate and work with sources. But perhaps even worse, it attempts to criminalize journalism itself, by asserting for the first time that a publisher can be criminally punished just for publishing classified information, no matter how it was obtained. "If Assange is convicted, it will drastically alter the risk assessment journalists and their lawyers undertake before engaging in what was previously routine journalism — especially when their reporting might embarrass or anger government officials. The result will be less reporting on some of the most important issues of our time."

Publishing government secrets shouldn’t be illegal

The DOJ must end the Assange case before it turns journalists into criminals

"This time, Assange was finally granted the right to appear in person. Although an empty iron cage sat in the courtroom waiting for Assange, Assange was too sick to show up. He had broken a rib due to excessive coughing. "The situation is dire. And not just for the life of one man. Assange’s case is the press freedom trial of the twenty-first century. "If the United States succeeds in prosecuting Assange under the Espionage Act for publishing information about its war crimes, it will be shredding the First Amendment’s press freedom guarantees. But the damage will extend far beyond US borders. Assange is not an American, and WikiLeaks is not based in the United States. The United States is asserting the right to track down any journalist anywhere in the world, seize them, haul them to the United States, and disappear them into a US prison."
