On the second and final day of the crucial appeal permission hearing for Julian Assange, the US repeated long-debunked and discredited theories and allegations.
The prosecution team led by Claire Dobbin and Joel Smith presented arguments that obfuscated facts and misrepresented both the prosecution against Assange and the nature of work done by WikiLeaks.

#PeoplesHistory | February 22 marks the anniversary of the 1943 execution of three young leaders of the anti-fascist White Rose resistance in Nazi Germany—Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans, and their friend Christoph Probst.
As students at the University of Munich, they helped anonymously distribute leaflets condemning Hitler's regime and calling for peaceful action against the government's atrocities. When caught distributing pamphlets on campus, the three were quickly tried and convicted of treason. The execution of the young students at the hands of the Nazis made them martyrs and symbols of moral courage in the face of violent, fascist authoritarianism.

Biden is reportedly weighing executive action on immigration that could prevent those crossing the US border unlawfully from claiming asylum.
If enacted, the action would be similar to former President Donald Trump’s attempt to target asylum seekers in 2018, which was blocked by federal courts and denounced by Democrats at the time.

#PeoplesHistory | On this day, we remember the legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois, whose groundbreaking research and writing exposed the oppressive links between racism, economic exploitation, and imperialism.
Du Bois was a courageous activist for socialism, believing it was the only path to racial justice and true liberation for all people. His Marxist analysis and commitment to solidarity continues to inspire movements to this day.

Without a ceasefire, there will be a famine ravaging through the region by May, warned the World Food Programme (WFP).

“I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” he said in a self-recorded livestream outside of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC. “But, compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.” He then lit himself on fire. He later succumbed to his injuries in a hospital.
