There are millions of Yemenis suffering in a Saudi-US war, and, as @FAIR noted, MSNBC "has yet to cover the war in all of 2019, repeating a similar no-show when activists [attempted] to end the war last spring" & when MSNBC "ignored Yemen entirely from 9/2016 through 7/2018."

The charge against Assange is that he "agreed to assist Manning in cracking a password stored on U.S. Dept. of Defense computers." It looks like their alleged "password-cracking agreement" wasn't even successful. Assange faces 5 years in prison over it.
(justice.gov/usao-edva/pres…)
Due to the use of the conditional tense & the fact that prosecutors don't claim the password was cracked, it looks like this alleged "password-cracking agreement" between Assange & Manning -- the crime Assange is accused of -- wasn't even successful. (justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/w…)
So after years of trying to find a way to get Assange, this is what Trump's DOJ goes with: an alleged -- & apparently unsuccessful -- attempt to crack a password *after* "Manning had already provided Wikileaks with hundreds of thousands of classified records."

1/ With Trump, Barr now on offense, Dems face an awkward choice: continue to defend those who gave them a discredited (& self-defeating) conspiracy theory, or acknowledge that those people, including intel officials, acted improperly. To any fair-minded observer, this is bad:
Here is the FBI applying to spy on Carter Page, claiming it "believes that the Russian gvt’s efforts are being coordinated with” him & “perhaps [others] associated with [Trump’s] campaign.” Their source for this insane claim, is, insanely, a dossier paid for by Trump’s opponent!
3/ Imagine if the FBI had sought to spy on a former Obama aide; claimed they suspect that aide of coordinating with Iran on Obama’s behalf; and then cited a dossier paid for by Romney. Would Dems be outraged?

Pls RT if you'd like @democracynow to interview @MaxBlumenthal about his new book, "The Management of Savagery." Amy G describes the media as "a huge kitchen table" where we "discuss the most important issues: life & death, war & peace." Certainly US regime change wars qualify.
You can also write @democracynow a polite note at: producers at democracynow dot org
I worked at @democracynow for many years & benefited greatly from it. I'd like to see it return to its noble tradition on the topics where it's gone astray, US regime wars & Russiagate. That doesn't mean adopting a singular POV: it just means being more open to dissenting voices.

In #Saudi Arabia, land of the “emancipator of women,” you are jailed, tortured and put on trial if you are a women’s rights activists. And you get arrested if you are related to those activists or if you support them. time.com/5564838/saudi-…

-Salah al-Haidar,whose mother women’s rights activist Aziza al-Yousef is on trial
-Badr al-Ibrahim,writer & physician
-Mohammed al-Sadiq & Abdullah al-Dehailan,writers
-Fahad Abalkhail,activist
The arrests are the latest reminder that de facto leader #Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman does not give a fuck about international condemnation of his brutality.

#Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman,suspected to have ordered murder of journalist #JamalKashoggi, launched unprecedented crackdown vs women’s rights activists in May. Those activists have been tortured & one has tried suicide 3 times google.com/amp/s/www.wash… h/t @SherifaZuhur
Some of the activists (none of whom have been formally charged or given access to lawyers) have been subjected to psychological or physical abuse while in custody, including electric shocks, sexual harassment, sleep deprivation and beatings. #Saudi
“In one reported instance, one of the activists was made to hang from the ceiling, and according to another testimony, one of the detained women was reportedly subjected to sexual harassment, by interrogators wearing face masks.” amnesty.org/en/latest/news… #Saudi

Thread on #Saudi meddling in #Yemen's internal affairs. Listed and in chronological order. Keep this in mind, next time some nutjob on the news rants about supposed "Iranian meddling" in regards to Yemen.
- Saudi-Yemeni War of 1934, dispute over regional ownership ends with #Saudi Arabia annexing the Yemeni provinces of Najran, Jizan and Asir. Saudi Arabia held Hodeidah city occupied and threatened to cut off food supplies as blackmail.
- Saudi support for the Kingdom of Yemen during the 1962 Republican revolution. Imam Ahmad bin Yahya was dethroned because of corruption and for transforming the legitimate imamate into a monarchy. What followed was 5 years of brutal civil war.
