“Julian Assange is officially back on Twitter, restoring to the world an important voice we were robbed of by the US empire’s years-long campaign to silence the WikiLeaks founder via lifelong imprisonment for forbidden acts of journalism. Not everyone will remember it but there was a time when this was almost impossible to imagine. It seemed almost certain that this man was going to die in Belmarsh Prison or spend his remaining years in some hellhole in America. Now whenever my nephew catches me or my husband expressing pessimism about something working out, he tells us ‘Hey. Assange is free now’. It’s become our family code for ‘Anything’s possible. Don’t give up hope’. We should really try to appreciate this. Never let hope die. A better world is possible. Anything can be.” (09/19/26)
