A lot of Assange take writers are blurring the lines between the indictment’s “means and manner” paragraphs and the core statutory allegations, which is a shame.
The statutory allegations in the indictment are all about computer intrusion. But the indictment’s “means and manner” characterization of the conspiracy (naturally) mentions that it was a part of the conspiracy Assange was trying to receive and publish information.
I can see why it’s tempting to choose this as one’s line in the sand over press freedom, but it’s not a prudent or necessary one.

Senators Pelosi, Schumer, Feinstein and Warner, together with House chairmen Nadler and Schiff, sign onto a new letter demanding the full Mueller Report.
This part is the closest Pelosi and Schumer have come to entertaining the possibility of impeachment or some other sort of accountability (censure?).
They also cite two prior investigations that led to impeachment inquiries as precedent for releasing grand jury info.

The Assange indictment seeks to allay press freedom concerns by focusing on an allegation that he tried to help Manning “crack” a DOD password—i.e. entering into a conspiracy to steal rather than simply receiving info. justice.gov/usao-edva/pres…
There’s no allegation that they successfully broke into SIPRnet, and the seriousness of Assange’s effort is unclear, so I think people can reasonably argue the charges are pretextual and chilling. It’s an argument that will have to look past the face of the indictment tho.
The evidence Assange tried to “crack” the password? He said he failed, at least initially.

"How We Identified the D.N.C. Hack's 'Patient Zero'"

Eric Lipton, The New York Times, December 20, 2016

nytimes.com/2016/12/20/ins…
"As David Sanger, Scott Shane and I set out in late November to reconstruct the events surrounding the hacking of the Democratic Party during the 2016 election campaign, we too wanted to understand, among all factors, how and where this story started."
"The Times had extensively covered the remarkable story of Russia's effort to influence the election - with David Sanger and our colleague Eric Schmitt first breaking the news back in late July that the hack was almost certainly the work of Russian operatives."

1) Natalie Portman says that Israel’s nationalistic law - which defines the country as a Jewish state - is racist.

What prompted her to say this?
2) Around the world, many countries combine religion and state. That doesn’t make them wrong. vox.com/world/2018/7/3…

Reddit is being a bitch for some reason and I don't have a website, so I am posting something here about places that accept unsolicited pitches and pay. If that interested you, awesome! If not, ignore all the tweets.
On another post someone said they had no idea how to begin a career writing online. Since I do it for a living and LOVE IT, I decided to put together a very basic starter list of websites.
All of them PAY (you deserve compensation, not just “exposure,” although the amount varies wildly) and they all accept unsolicited pitches (which means they don’t require you to have past publications.) None of them (with one half exception) require a fee to submit.

Il y a quelques jours j'avais posté un article du New York Times sur la nouvelle vibe politique appelée "Intellectual Dark Web". En fait ce nom vient d'un site internet monté par un inconnu qui y réunit les figures de la galaxie libérale rationaliste ⬇️
intellectualdark.website
Cet "Intellectual Dark Web" (ou Alt-Lib) réunit essentiellement des gens d'obédience libertarienne ou rationaliste (les nouveaux athées américains par ex.), qui prétendent avoir un avis objectif sur la société car ils s'appuient sur LA science (la majuscule est importante).
Ce sont des gens qui profitent de la grande légitimité que notre société accorde à la science pour s'arroger une image de juste milieu voire même d'arbitre entre la droite et la gauche. Évidemment, comment pourraient-ils avoir torts, s'ils invoquent LA science.
