Democrats continuing to stress post-9/11 "security" framing in their campaigns is not just bad politics, it is bad politics that contributes to the conditions that gave us a president who wants to make immigrant concentration camps

My column: 1. The Trump admin obviously hates press freedom. 2. The most effective way to curtail rights is to first go after the unpopular. 3. The Assange indictment is a clear danger, so stop trusting Trump's DOJ!

“With this prosecution of Julian Assange, the US government could set out broad legal arguments about journalists soliciting information or interacting with sources that could have chilling consequences for investigative reporting.” ⁦

None of this is true, even if you 100% believe everything in the DOJ indictment. DOJ does NOT allege Assange helped Manning access more documents than she already had access to, and it does NOT allege the password cracking even worked.

Great article by here. Worth reading. “Instead of thinking, “I hate Julian Assange, so I’m glad he’s going to be punished,” ask yourself this: do you trust Trump’s justice department to protect press freedom?”

Five issues w/Assange prosecution 1-could be pretext to punish publication 2-could be placeholder for dangerous espionage prosecution 3-language criminalizing journalistic activity 4-Broad CFAA could endanger other reporters 5-troubling asylum withdrawal

He’s not charged for anything election related. Also just because you don’t think he’s a “journalist” doesn’t mean any precedent used against him can’t be used against “real” journalists you like

you don't have to think Assange is a journalist to believe that his prosecution can be used against other journalists.

If you want to understand why the charge against Assange is a serious threat to press freedom, read the entire indictment, don’t just rely on the misleading headline from the Trump DOJ’s press release. I wrote about it for here:

These press freedom battles aren't "sent by God." The *people* and *institutions* challenging press freedom set the terms, and they intentionally pick unsympathetic targets. This is an important point and frankly it should be obvious.

You mean, a sentence fragment pulled out of context can be dishonestly framed as dismissive, in a way that obtusely misses the point the speaker was making? Interesting.

"The Trump administration is counting on the public’s dislike of WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange to potentially curtail press freedom rights. Don’t fall for it," writes.

Illuminating thread about why -- even if you were to remove all the serious press freedom issues from the Assange indictment -- the 'password-cracking' case in quite weak. Also suggests why the Obama admin chose not to pursue it.

"There is a lot of context here for the Trump DOJ going forward here on these actions from 9 years ago that the Obama DOJ did not deem chargeable"

Certainly true. But given the nature of the charge -- a discussion 9 years ago about an unsuccessful attempt to figure out a password -- I think it's fair to debate whether this is a figleaf for the government punishing someone for publishing stuff it doesn't want published.
