(ANTIMEDIA)  — In an exclusive report published earlier this month, the Guardian highlighted a disheartening and highly disturbing reality, one that reveals itself quite profoundly in the article’s opening paragraph:

(ANTIMEDIA)  — United States senators from both the Republican and Democratic parties are pushing to implement a bill that would make it a felony to support boycotting Israel, punishable by up to twenty years in prison. On Monday, the ACLU issued a letter to the Senate opposing the proposed legislation, which was introduced in March by Sen.

A new policy at the Washington Post will punish its employees for using social media to make critical statements about the paper’s corporate advertisers. The policy was approved by Jeff Bezos, the billionaire head of Amazon who purchased the newspaper in 2013.

(TFC) — It’s the Fourth of July. The most American of days. If you left your home today or scrolled your social media accounts, you undoubtedly saw disrespect towards the American flag. It isn’t a new expression of speech, but it is certainly more widespread today than in years past. So the question arises: how can you make people respect the flag?

(RPI) — The Future of Freedom Foundation (FFF) has made available video of Ron Paul’s speech at FFF’s June 3 conference.

In her first interview since being released from prison, whistleblower said she felt “responsibility to the public.”

(COMMONDREAMS) — US Chelsea Manning has given her first interview since being released from prison last month in which she explains her motivations for making public thousands of military documents.
