Only a Clinton shill who doesn't know those emails contain all the dirt the DNC had collected on the Trump campaign would say that.

A New York court ruled this publication, which btw showed the DNC had rigged the primaries / stolen the primaries from Bernie, and pushed media to always talk about Trump in the mistaken Clinton would easily win against him, was First Amendment protected by the highest order.

Yea, I see what you mean, and if you don't know German you'll likely not notice the 'not now' option in the pop-up that lets you keep reading. Kind of annoying but I promise the page is technically not paywalled.

Are you having trouble with republik.ch? It doesn't have a paywall to my knowledge! But if you prefer, you can head on archive.org without any popups: https://web.archive.org/web/20240910100941/https://www.republik.ch/2020/01/31/nils-melzer-about-wikileaks-founder-julian-assange

Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Anyone can and does edit it. Heck, I know I have.

If you'll please just read this interview with someone who has looked into the case in Sweden in great detail.

Unfortunately I'll be at work at the time but I will be watching it soon after, I'm sure! It feels like a profound moment for humanity, that he can speak freely again. Many people are going to be watching live and hang on his every word. The pressure must be enormous. I'm very interested what he has to say.

Do you believe every rumour started by cops?

Wow, rude.

I tried to watch the video, couldn't get through it. Hence the request for a tldr. Honestly I'd be fine if just ignored but y'all don't need to make assumptions about my abilities and hound me for a simple request.

Umm... I don't follow.

I'm sorry I can't watch these type of edited fast-paced ramble videos. Give me a 1hr uncut but not this.

Anybody got a TLDR?

Edit: I just want to know, does he talk about third party candidates at all or just telling people to not vote at all?

Edit 2: please?

15yo me gets an angry phone call from the dad where I'd scored a weekly long-term babysitting gig after the first or second night: don't think for a second that you're coming back! (I'm paraphrasing here).

I give a one-word reply and he hangs up.

All I did was leave after getting paid without saying bye while they were checking on the kids. (They were asleep). Because I didn't want to be coerced to get a ride like last time.

Took me years to realise they were in the wrong.

Signal app size 165MB. Conversations: 42MB.

I can't message someone on Signal without installing Signal or Molly which also uses Signal servers, which has to be trusted on good faith (can't run my own). Ergo a walled garden just like Whatsapp.

I can't register with just a username & password. I have to trust their PR saying they don't store my ph #.

US has some of the worst legislation when it comes to privacy; when the agencies decide they want your data, Signal will not be allowed to tell you. And don't give me the bs line that they only store 3 pieces of info about you. Unless you've built their server software you don't know what they collect am store.

Signal is so bloated compared to Conversations on Android. Also it's a walled garden requiring your ph number to register (edit: and requires owning a smart phone👎). Based in the US so not great for privacy. Marginally better than Whatsapp suppose.

Edit: and it requires a smart phone.

As long as their corpse isn't outside your bedroom door you're probably fine.

is your friend alive?

Is it just me or does food taste better when you're hungry?

I don't really know how party conventions and noninations work, but I'll take your word for it.

vote for a half term. why half a term? Why not just a full term starting as soon as the newly elected Presidenn takes office?

Further, because of the sheer size of the United States, many people have to travel could need to travel upwards of 30-45 minutes one way to vote, so many people rely on mail in votes, which would be close to impossible to distribute and then collect in the time the snap election happens. It would just be easier to wait until the next election.

Sounds like they need more funding for more voting booths...

Omg yes!! I want to read that. I'm trying to read his other book, Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers, atm but have been too distracted to get far unfortunately. I'll get there.

The world owes Dan a lot for his courageous and principled actions.

Ellsberg also was a great advocate for Julian Assange's freedom, even giving evidence at his extradition hearings. It's sad he didn't get to see his release. Great man. RIP
