There's a lot of bad shit going on with Assange... but none of that is what they're trying to extradite him for. They're trying to get him on completely phony hacking charges related to Chelsea Manning.
As far as I can tell, they've stopped using the word "hacking" because now everyone knows it was Chelsea, everyone knows it's a leak, not a hack, which I was pointing out long ago while you guys mocked my source, who is currently on Team Wikileaks, preparing to defend Julian.. They're now trying to argue that he colluded with Chelsea to break into computer systems, rather than him simply acting as a conduit.

They want him because he exposed US war crimes. Posting videos of US soldiers sport shooting afghan civilians from a helicopter did not fly with the pentagon. He should be protected at all cost.
Yep and yep.

Especially now that america has a fascist in the white house.
Do you know what fascism is? Take a look at Spain, beating up grannies who tried to vote in a referendum the state declared illegal. Spain is still under the influence of Franco, long after his death. That's the closest thing we have to a fascist state in the Western world. America, sorry but nope. They can vote, they can own guns, they can protest at Trump without recriminations, which they regularly do. USA is far from fascist. There isn't a fascist in the White House, at worst it's an idiot who says dumb shit. He doesn't have enough power to be fascist, the American public wouldn't tolerate true fascism.

Don't water down terms like "fascist" to smear people whose ideology you find unappealing.

Case in point: when wikileaks didn't redact the names of afghan informants.
What would be the point? Once their names are published, it's too late. Redacting won't do anything, Lots of people immediately copy anything Wikileaks uploads, anyone who actually wanted to hurt Afghan informant will not be deterred by redaction. If it's such a problem, then USA should protect their informants. That's not Wikileaks' job.
