Man this story is so sad and creepy. It reminds me I've missed quite a few of the documentaries about Assange and just haven't kept up on the story.

Has he been writing anywhere online or doing podcasts or anything?

his family have been. Julian has been in supermax prison since 2019

Which he deserves.

“Lightning fan, and it's the only way Bitcoin will stay relevant. We all know on-chain bitcoin is out of date and behind the times and has failed to evolve. Lightning will save bitcoin from what was looking like a slow and painful demise.”

Very sad and shocking. His relatives spoke at one of the bitcoin conferences a few years ago

The crimes committed against Assange are not the death of journalism. They are the death of all civil rights -- aka totalitarianism. The only question is how long until all nation-states can treat every human on the planet as the West is now treating Assange. Assange, and many others like him, are the tip of the iceberg; the rest of humanity is the rest of the iceberg.

Those who enter government, in whatever role, simply lose their ability to distinguish right from wrong.

Here is the leaked video because of which he was charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYTxuW2vmzk

For example, at 2:05, the Apache crew misidentifies a camera as an RPG:

A long shadow cast on the ground by a telephoto lens on Noor-Eldeen's camera is misidentified by the pilot as an additional RPG aimed at him and a U.S. Army Humvee directly below his aircraft. One second later he screams, "He's got an RPG!"

The Olympians won't allow Prometheus to go unpunished; they intend to bind him permanently.

Assange is a criminal. That's a fact. He is the same sort of scum as those that attempted a violent overthrow of the US government on Jan. 6th, 2021.
