I have a feeling that demanding justice and accountability for crimes committed by the wealthy and powerful is going to one day soon be legally classified as hate speech in the United States. #ClassWar #FreeJulianAssange

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 plane and departed the UK. This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible. After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars. WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know. As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom. Julian's freedom is our freedom. [More details to follow]

Horrible news from Israel. My condolences go out to everyone who lost relatives or close ones in the terrorist attack. We have faith that order will be restored and terrorists will be defeated. Terror should have no place in the world, because it is always a crime, not just against a specific country or this terror’s victims, but against humanity in general and our entire world. Anyone who resorts to terror commits a crime against the world. Whoever finances terror is committing a crime against the world. The world must stand united and in solidarity so that terror does not attempt to break or subjugate life anywhere and at any moment. Israel's right to self-defense is unquestionable. All details surrounding this terrorist assault must be revealed so that the world knows and holds accountable everyone who supported and helped carry out the attack. All Ukrainian citizens who remain in the risk zone must carefully obey all orders issued by local security services and remain vigilant. Please be cautious. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our embassy in Israel are ready to assist in any situation. To support Ukrainians in Israel, we established an operational headquarters. If you require assistance, please contact any of our diplomatic or consular offices in any convenient and accessible manner. Every life is valuable! We condemn all forms of terrorism.

Until Julian Assange is freed, you can rest assured that literally every word from the mouths of Western leaders are pure lies.

All Democrats do is simultaneously tell you they can’t help you while promising that if you vote for them they’re gonna help you.

There's zero possibility that humanity's techno-pied-pipers are smart enough to make a General Artificial Intelligence which will do what they want but which is also incapable of recognizing the stupidity and malice of humanity's most wealth-powerful.

Statement: On Tuesday next week my husband Julian Assange will make a renewed application for appeal to the High Court. The matter will then proceed to a public hearing before two new judges at the High Court and we remain optimistic that we will prevail and that Julian will not be extradited to the United States where he faces charges that could result in him spending the rest of his life in a maximum security prison for publishing true information that revealed war crimes committed by the U.S. government.

Julian Assange is a political prisoner.

"If you care about press freedom, make some noise about Julian Assange", @betsyreed2 writes, yet her paper's release of unredacted Wikileaks files was used as a justification for Assange's extradition, for allegedly putting Americans in harm's way. The Guardian are traitors.

A very telling thing about American democracy is that the maximum legal campaign donation is indexed to inflation, but the minimum wage is not.

Today, workers at Barnes and Noble Union Square have declared their intent to unionize. We're partnering with @rwdsustrong to fight for systemic changes within the company to ensure better working conditions and pay.

Hey @elonmusk you are a crook. Just another billionaire scammer. When you break the law, that makes you a criminal.

The fact that we can't ever have a single anti-war president makes it completely clear to me what America stands for.

I just submitted a complaint to the @TCEQ because I’m concerned about how @boringcompany is handling its “spoils” (dirt removed from the tunnel). This is the contents of my message: I am concerned that The Boring Company (RN111473534) is not appropriately handling the material they’re removing from the ground in their tunneling operation at their site in Bastrop. In the video, you’ll see: - Spoils being removed from the tunnel and piled at various locations - No kind of containment of the spoils - No labeling or signage to identify the spoils - Standing water in the spoils - Stormwater runoff from the spoils traversing the property, pumped over a driveway, and seeping into the @txdot right-of-way alongside FM1209 outside their fence - Example of recent flooding in spoil storage areas I have been in discussion with the Office of the Public Interest Counsel to try and determine the applicability of WATER CODE, TITLE 2. WATER ADMINISTRATION, SUBTITLE D. WATER QUALITY CONTROL, CHAPTER 31. SUBSURFACE EXCAVATIONS. I am awaiting a call back from a representative there as they gather research. However, in our searching we were unable to find a permit related to subsurface excavations for this corporation. In the meantime, I have received an anonymous tip from a (supposed) former employee that the fluids used in the boring process may not be safe for disposal. A tunnel engineer also contacted me with their concerns. I am including their comments verbatim: > As a tunnel engineer I am concerned about what I see at the Boring Company (and Space X) site adjacent to your property. The pumping of standing water over the fence line without any form of treatment is a clear violation and should be followed up with the relevant authorities. > My main concern is the potential for contamination of the local ground and ground water from the TBM [tunnel boring machine] tunnelling ongoing in your video. This type of TBM uses three key chemicals that come into contact with the ground. > 1. Injected foam or other chemical injected through the cutterhead of the TBM into the ground ahead to "lubricate" or otherwise treat the excavated material to make it more manageable. This may or may not be being used. If so, it should be identified in some Environmental submission and be of a biodegradable nontoxic type. This chemical can spread into the ground around the excavation and is also present in the excavated material being disposed. > 2. Grout injection around the segmental lining to fill the excavated annulus and stabilize the lining. A cement/sand/additive mixture with a chemical accelerator is injected into the extrados gap left by the TBM skin as the segments exit its tail. The type of additive (retarder/stabilizer) and accelerator (to cause it to rapidly harden) should be known and submitted as above. Again this should be non toxic as the tunnel is very shallow and adjacent to farmland where crops and or livestock graze. > 3. As the TBM moves forward it is maintained watertight by a type of grease injected into things called "tail brush seals" at the rear of the machine which form an active seal against water, ground or grout leakage in the annulus between the TBM tail skin and the erected segmental lining. This is a continuous injection as the TBM moves forward (maybe 20-30 gallons per day), the grease remains in the ground on the extrados of the segments. Again, this should be documented in an environmental submission of some kind (I'm not familiar with Texas regulations but you discussed them in your video). The grease should be a bio-degradable product. > Worth checking to avoid ground contamination and potential toxic leachate. Can you please investigate what chemicals are being used in their tunneling? Can you test to confirm that they’re documentation matches the reality? I would also like assurances that the appropriate remediations are done to any potentially contaminated areas.
