I wonder how many journalists have already held back from reporting things they know in their heart a Free Press should be reporting, thinking “After what they’ve done to Julian Assange maybe I better not.” Authoritarianism doesn’t just land on people, it creeps toward us slowly

In Australia many journalists remain silent on #JulianAssange & when whistleblowers are subjected to vindictive prosecutions those same journalists did absolutely nothing for years. #auspol #freepress #righttoknow

Yeah like under the guise of "common good" like in relation to medical mandates, why did you not speak out about that if you're concerned with authoritarianism?? As a spiritual person interested in political culture I was disappointed that you went along. #CrimesAgainstHumanity

Yep. Exactly as intended. Set an example with one to instill fear in others.

Not just that, what they write could get them fired, which has happened far more than people realize, and is just another form of soft censorship which has existed for DECADES.

It's both parties. Dem voters really need to wake up!
