Julian Assange darf nicht an USA ausgeliefert werden. Völlig unerwartet urteilte heute so die Richterin in London. Das ist auch ein Sieg der Solidarität. Die Begründung ist etwas daneben. Egal. Jetzt muß Assange sofort raus aus dem Knast. Freiheit für Julian.

The rejection by the UK court of the US Govt's request to extradite Julian Assange to stand trial on espionage charges is obviously great news. But the judge endorsed most of the USG's theories, but ultimately found the US prison system too inhumane to permit extradition.

Zoom shuts down an NYU academic event on zoom censorship. Facebook asks NYU researchers to stop doing research on political ads. NYU’s response will be interesting to see how even powerful universities can struggle to maintain institutional autonomy vis a vis tech companies.

Firefighters-for-hire flooded into the Glass Fire as it threatened expensive homes and multimillion-dollar wineries.
This has been happening for years, but officials say the number of private crews is rising, and with it the potential for conflict. trib.al/KvkzCc8
