    So happy for Julian Assange and his family. Prayers 🙏🙏 for them all from Florida.
  • Torturing the man for 14 years because of exposing war crimes that the criminals wanted to keep secret ! 😢
  • WELCOME HOME 🏡🥂🍸🎁🆓🛣️🍾🥂❤️‍🔥🍹🤗🥳 JULIAN ASSANGE. FAMILY LOVE.
  • He's a hero. Corruption and deadly gov lies should always be exposed! Whistleblowers should be protected. Look how two Boeing whistleblowers were just found dead under suspicious circumstances. They are not only heros for the public good and the safety of ourselves and our families,, but also very brave souls to stand up in the line of fire for us!

    Many of his trumped-up charges could not stand the test of US law in a court, a judge agreed to set him free after he pleaded guilty to just 1 charge. :eyes-purple-crying:
