ICYMI: This morning CODEPINK's @medeabenjamin and Tighe Barry told @SecBlinken to #FreeAssange and seek #JusticeForShireen at a #WorldPressFreedomDay event where he mentioned neither of them.
Assange has been in prison for years in London while fighting extradition to the United States.
His "crime"? Publishing the truth about US operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Gitmo, and all around the world.

BREAKING: The US is finally opening an investigation into Israel’s murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
Six months after an Israeli soldier killed the world-renowned Palestinian American journalist, the US is finally taking the very first step towards holding Israel accountable for killing her.
The announcement comes after months of mounting pressure on the US government to investigate Shireen’s murder, led by a tireless effort from the Abu Akleh family to deliver #JusticeForShireen.
Lemme tell you how the Israeli-Palestinian narrative is shaped online;
The Israeli propaganda & disinformation stay online (under-enforced) while the Palestinian documentation of human rights violations is censored and taken down (over-enforced). check this thread for details 👇🏽

Yesterday's investigation results regarding Shireen's killing weren't surprising. but I wanted to remind you all, that we escalated this video twice to FB. Where the Israeli spokesperson is spreading propaganda & disinformation & FB didn't label it or take it down.
This is another screenshot of the Israeli prime minister on Twitter spreading disinformation, that she wasn't killed by Israeli authorities. It stayed online, without being deleted or even labeling it as disinformation.

❗️🇮🇱's military probe admits it is "highly probable" that an Israeli soldier shot to death journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, but won't take action against them. 🇨🇦 must demand an independent investigation to hold these murderers accountable! @melaniejoly @CanEmbIsrael @CanadaRepPA
@melaniejoly @CanEmbIsrael @CanadaRepPA Unfortunately, Israel's probe spreads misinformation by suggesting that Shireen may have been shot by 'accident', despite multiple independent probes which found no evidence of Palestinian militants in the area and said that the journalists were deliberately targeted by Israel.
@melaniejoly @CanEmbIsrael @CanadaRepPA From the start, multiple eyewitnesses, including several journalists, have insisted that Israeli forces were responsible for the attack, and that Abu Akleh had been deliberately targeted by Israel. These claims have been corroborated by multiple independent analyses.
It has been 100 days since Israeli forces killed veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the occupied West Bank.
Despite numerous investigations, no one has been held to account. Today, the world pays tribute to her memory. #JusticeForShireen

THREAD: After finally meeting with the Abu Akleh family today, @SecBlinken has yet to commit to holding a US investigation into the Israeli murder of their family member, Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
The family has been pushing for the US to hold Israel accountable for killing Shireen for over two months. The Abu Akleh family has been clear that a transparent and thorough US investigation is the very first step towards accountability and justice for Shireen.
Though they met with @SecBlinken today, the Abu Akleh family is still waiting for meaningful action from the US and continuing to demand a meeting with @POTUS to ensure that achieving justice for Shireen is a priority.
As Palestinians, we call for meaningful solidarity, we demand accountability.
Journalist syndicates & media studies/journalism faculties must take concrete action to hold apartheid Israel accountable for the murder of #ShireenAbuAkleh. #JusticeForShireen

Absolutely heartbreaking news. Veteran Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh has passed away after being in shot in the head by Israeli forces while reporting on an Israeli army raid on a refugee camp in Jenin, occupied West Bank. She was wearing a press vest at the time.
Whilst many ignore the plight of the Palestinians, Shireen spent decades courageously highlighting the Palestinian struggle. Since 2000 up until now, Israel has killed about 50 Palestinian journalists who were working in the field.
You will hear a lot about 'clashes' in the next 24 hours. This is a deliberate misrepresentation of the current situation in Palestine. This was a deliberate killing and not the first either.
