The UK is complicit with the US in criminalizing journalism. I call on @JoeBiden and @TheJusticeDept to drop the extradition and prosecution of Julian Assange.
🚨 BREAKING🚨
Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, and Alice Walker React to the Assange Extradition Sign Off:
"It is a sad day for western democracy."

In-depth discussion of the profitability for the US military-industrial complex of prolonging wars like Ukraine:
“People ask: why don't we learn from our failures in Vietnam, and Afghanistan, and elsewhere?”
“And the answer is who has a lesson to learn?” @DanielEllsberg tells @marclamonthill in an #Upfront Special on the business of war.

"No-fly zone” is a misleading/misunderstood slogan. It calls for US air attacks on Russian ground targets. That would be war between the US and Russia. Neither side would permit itself to lose without resorting to nuclear weapons, endangering humanity. nytimes.com/2022/03/18/opini…

As a human, I am proud of the thousands of Russian citizens who are braving prison for protesting non-violently Putin's aggression in Ukraine. Join me in sending them this message of solidarity:

Our ICBM program is toxic pork. In fact, it would improve our security, and the world's, to pay Northrop Grumman NOT to build new ICBMs, and to remove the dangerous, launch-on-warning Minuteman missiles from their silos. commondreams.org/news/2022/0…

How dare Biden lecture a @StateDept #SummitForDemocracy today while refusing to pardon Daniel Hale and Julian Assange, thereby killing freedom of the press for “national security.” Watch this @BPFreeSpeech video (it's all worthwhile- mine starts at 46min): piped.video/watch?v=zn4lXOzK…

"To Avoid Armageddon, Don't Modernize ICBMs--Eliminate Them." Land-based ICBMs are a world-ending catastrophe waiting to happen, and are completely superfluous to a reliable deterrent. My article with @normansolomon in @thenation: thenation.com/article/world/…

Biden should drop his appeal to extradite Julian Assange and dismiss all charges against him, on the new disclosures that Assange has been subjected to the same governmental crimes that led to the dismissal of my own prosecution half a century ago. 1/ news.yahoo.com/kidnapping-as…

2/ These governmental crimes include illegal, warrantless surveillance, conspiracy to "totally incapacitate me" and--in the words of my judge--"bizarre events" that "offend a sense of justice." All of these apply exactly to the just-revealed crimes against Assange.

3/ Here is Judge Matthew Byrne's statement dismissing the charges against me and Tony Russo, on May 12, 1973. AG Garland should take similar action on Assange this week. And if that doesn't happen, the UK High Court should dismiss the appeal. / nytimes.com/1973/05/12/archi…

Did Gen. Milley save the world in January? Perhaps. He did what he should to avert a Chinese preemptive attack that might have led to nuclear war, based on their known fears of Trump’s madness. My interview with @Paul__Jay: theanalysis.news/milley-chin…

The first US prosecution of a publisher, Assange, for truth-telling journalism now pends his extradition from the UK, the first of many unless Biden does what he should: drop the DOJ appeal now to extradite Assange. My piece with Alice Walker and Chomsky: newsweek.com/why-biden-prose…
