1. Julian #Assange #BailAssangeUK US counsel opposes bail: “cannot be trusted to surrender”

2. US counsel refers to Julian #Assange and “others at @wikileaks “ *orchestrating* @snowden’ escape as a legal ground to oppose #BailAssangeUK
3. Tremendously interesting to see how US counsel just confirmed that @wikileaks original plans was to help @snowden to get protection in #LatinAmerica
4. US counsel mention UK spent 16 million pounds of UL taxpayers to keep Julian #Assange under surveillance in the embassy as an argument to deny #BailAssangeUK : my #Foia unearthed damning documents on how UK didn’t care about the money
5. US counsel argues that the suicide risk assessed by Julian #Assange’s medical experts is NOT well grounded. “NOT so severe as defence assessed”
6. US counsel questions Julian #Assange’s family life: Assange and his partner @StellaMoris1 “have never lived together “
7. JA counsel, Fitzgerald: Julian’s family important as a riling to mental distress, #BailAssangeUK would allow family unity with two small children and there is very serious #COVID in prison. NOTE: as a journalist I was denied access to data on statistics on #Covid in UK prisons
8. Judge Baraitser is absolutely right to ask where the data on #Covid in #Belmarsh from. Problem: for journalists it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get factual info on Covid in UK prisons. I was denied access to data by UK Ministry of Justice after trying to get data independently
9. JA counsel, Fitzgerald says main defence’s legal ground to apply for #BailAssangeUK is the physical and mental health assessment by medical experts. Fitzgerald mentions #LauriLove. let me say thank you to the unsung hero of LauriLove’s victory: @auerfeld
10. JA counsel Fitzgerald: factors for “overwhelming case for granting #BailAssangeUK”: mental health (as consistently acknowledge by judge Baraitser’s judgement): depresssion, Asperger syndrome +Covid risk. Living with his partner @StellaMoris1 and their children will protect
11. JA counsel Fitzgerald: is he remains in #Belmarsh with Covid and visits suspended it will be “life threatening”
12. Judge Baraitser: Mr #Assange was a *fugitive* from UK justice
13. Judge Baraitser: US has already lodged its appeal
14. Judge Baraitser: detention in Belmarsh NOT comparable to detention in US when it comes to support for mental and physical conditions
15. Judge Baraitser denied bail! #BailAssangeUK

Silent Run'g ..... Can u hear him
As usual, @C_Stroop is right that we need to get ready to roll up our sleeves. This doesn't end on inauguration day. Christian Nationalism needs to be in the spotlight it must be exposed to be fought. Small town Christo-fascism is on the rise, and my hometown is an example. 1/


My hometown is Alamogordo, New Mexico. It's a military town. Holloman Air Force base is nearby, and so is the Army's White Sands Missile Range. It's also a hotbed of White Evangelical Christian Nationalism. 2/

Currently, the most notorious Christian Nationalist from Alamogordo that I can think of is Couy Griffin (no relation to me). He's a former pastor, turned County Commissioner, and founder of the group "Cowboys for Trump." I've talked about him before.


Couy Griffin and his Cowboys for Trump attended the the Coup Klux Klan in D.C. I'm not surprised. They went prepared for extremism. Here's a quick video of them outside the kitschy "Running Indian" trading post just outside Alamogordo. 4/


Notice what they say. "Give me liberty or give me death" and "We've god God on our side, and we've got the Truth on our side." Probably every Ex-evangelical I know has heard those words in church. 5/
