Another result of 45ism. While he continues to use dangerous rhetoric directed toward a federal judge and the prosecutorial team we just have to hope and pray violence does not occur. All the while we keep hearing about a 2 tiered justice system, give me a break!! The 4th estate is needed now more than ever. Please support your local news source if you are fortunate enough to have one. Here in Bristol we have The Bristol Edition, founded and run by volunteers in an effort to keep citizens informed. Save the free press⚔️🗞️

This is a dangerous attack on press freedom. I hope that national news and first amendment organizations join together to stop raids like this from happening nationwide. It sends a chill to everyone involved in news gathering but especially those at small hometown newspapers and websites. They don't have the resources to fight.

It's been really interesting to watch the watchdogs for the watchdogs react. I'm very proud of those groups.

Welcome to the show, indeed. Truth, Justice and the American way need to rain down upon their organized-crime-like tiny little heads. Because they done did crimes, IMO. Egregious. Beyond egregious. Gonna go pray for them and take deep breaths.

They really DID done did crimes. And I believe they need to answer for them.

So similar to The Handmaids Tale. This is how it all begins. Thanks for making us aware and for the people that have reached out against this happening.

This article is an entire journalism class in itself but thought I would send it along from a guy banned from MSM. and I think what young upcoming journalist should be aware of. IMHO.

Chris Hedges: Media Abandon Assange & Slit Their Own Throats

July 11, 2023

"Yeah this is what happened and he was sent anyway and not only that, but the media didn’t cover it at all.’

“This is about all of our futures, the future for our kids and our grandkids. The things we hold dear, democracy,..."

Thank you for this. We, the media, have our own crimes to answer for.

And educating the next generation of journalist and at least making them aware, (dropping seeds?), is a great way to make positive change. Education Not Militarization - VETERANS FOR PEACE

This is classic censorship, cronyism, and a blatant attempt to protect a crooked official.

This is "black letter law" at its worst.

People around the country and around the world need to keep a bright spotlight on this incident.

These people tried to pull a "try that in a small town" thinking it would fly under the radar. Fortunately, the spotlight is still shining on them and it's gonna get awfully hot under that spotlight. I can see the FBI, ACLU etc. putting boots on the ground there. This type of nonsense needs to stop...NOW.

I honestly think you’re right, that the bad actors figured they’re get away with it. How sad for them.
