Not a good time to be a whistle blower it seems
Wasn’t the US recently downgraded to a democracy in danger or something?
Given the recent SCOTUS ruling, I’m wondering how many state supreme courts will find a way to extend similar protections to governors. Could see whistle blowers like this imprisoned or worse for “security reasons” or some such nonsense.
Supposedly this is about defamation, and not the actual article. Which seems like a big fuckin’ stretch.

Two completely different court systems. Also she’s actually a whistleblower. Equating her with a spy harms our attempts to protect whistleblowers.
Assange pleaded guilty to journalism. You should change your Espionage Act so that talking to a source like journalists do all the time doesn’t land people in prison. Tyvm, the world.
