Trevor Timm discusses the arrests of Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning. Manning is only being held in jail because she refuses to testify in Assange's case, a move that Scott and Timm agree is unconstitutional and with any luck will be struck down in court so Manning...

Assange Too Sick For Court
by Scott Horton | May 30, 2019 | Blog
How well is he being treated? What's wrong with him? No one seems to know. Sure hope the U.S. or UK government don't just murder him. No point in going ahead with the recent superseding indictment if that was the plan.

by Steven Woskow | May 7, 2019 | Blog
Disagree with your child's doctor and you may get a visit from a SWAT team. Child Protection Service, state legislators and the juvenile courts are using federal child protection acts to expand their police powers. In Arizona members of the judicial system set up a...

Jennifer Lynch at the Electronic Frontier Foundation discusses the use by law enforcement of data stored in a Google database called Sensorvault. She also references a good New York Time article which shows specific uses of the data by police. The data is collected...
The Real Question of Justice in Billy Budd
by David R. Henderson | Apr 10, 2019 | Featured Articles, Politics
I just finished watching Django Unchained this weekend and I highly recommend it. One of the things that helped me enjoy it fully is the idea that anything a slave does to those who enslave him, even up to killing the enslavers and the enablers of the enslavers, is...

Chelsea Manning Fight the State
by Kyle Anzalone | Mar 11, 2019 | Conflicts of Interest
On FPF #321, I discuss Chelsea Manning's heroic refusal to testify in a secret federal court and her return to prison. Chelsea refused to testify in an unfair court by invoking her 1st, 4th, and 6th Amendment rights. Her rights were ignored, and she was thrown in...

The Kyle Anzalone Show with Jim Webb: Trump to Netanyahu: ‘You’re F**king Crazy’
Trump didn’t just get “frustrated” with Netanyahu. He confirmed he told him, “Are you effing crazy,” and that single moment raises a bigger question: if the White House is truly fed up, why does the region still look like it’s sliding toward wider war? Jim Webb joins...
The Other Side of the Slap
I spent a lot of time dealing with the victim of violence. That betrayal only a lover can express, the sinister switch from affection or at least the performance required to invent love, to twist into a tantrum of rage. The bruising and cuts, a secondary blistering to...
The Kyle Anzalone Show: Trump Meeting in Situation Room to Decide on Iran Deal
A deal with Iran sounds simple until you read the fine print. We dig into the reports of a memorandum of understanding that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift parts of the pressure campaign, then ask the uncomfortable question: is this “freedom of navigation,”...

John and I skip reading Rules for Radicals this week and discuss ideas that have been bogging us down for the last few months.
Trump Continues to Test Limits of Iran Ceasefire, How Will Tehran Respond?
