FIVE POINT FIVE MILLION from @PleasrDAO. It feels like the whole staff of @FreedomofPress is watching live, and we've never seen anything like this. This is more than a spectacle -- this is drama. All eyes turn to the dark horse. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

The @PleasrDAO juggernaut crashes into the lead with $4,300,000. This is practically the annual budget of @FreedomofPress, and a real monument to charity. And then immediately overtaken by @xaix2k with 2,021.1337 -- $4.9M! By any measure, tonight is a landmark. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

We're down to the wire. Five minutes remain, with @PleasrDAO at a staggering $1,900,000 -- 777 #ETH. A substantial portion of @FreedomofPress's entire annual budget. Legendary generosity on display for this charity event. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

With just one hour left to go in the @FreedomofPress charity auction, a shocking bid by @jespow has just brought us over $1,000,000 -- this is one for the record books. I'm speechless. LINK: foundation.app/Snowden/stay-f…

Four hours to go and our charity auction to benefit @FreedomofPress is nearing $500,000. Amir (@mondoir) reclaimed the top bid against a very generous offer by CEO/@krakenfx, @jespow. We're simply overwhelmed with gratitude -- the raised funds will do a lot of good. twitter.com/mondoir/status…

With the FBI breaking into US systems to delete malware from Microsoft exchange servers and now this, the government is engaged in a breathtaking sprint to protect the Microsoft brand.
Have the Solarwinds hacks led to a quiet embrace of "national champions" style infosec policy? twitter.com/NSACyber/statu…

The FBI is breaking into Americans' computers to delete malware—and going beyond the law to do it. (Thread by an ACLU attorney:) twitter.com/granick/status…

On Feb 9th, I'll be unveiling the new Young Reader's edition of my first book, Permanent Record, with the far-sighted @doctorow. There are very few books like this accessible for children. copperfieldsbooks.com/event/edward-s…

Don't miss this extraordinary profile of my good friend @WolfgangKaleck's lifelong battle against impunity for official crimes. He is the reason many Bush-era officials—including Bush himself—have been afraid to travel to Europe. newrepublic.com/article/160515…

I would rather be without a state than without a voice.

Before people accuse going unpardoned as influencing my rhetoric, here are the receipts showing me saying exactly the same thing last year on national TV: newsweek.com/edward-snowden…
1094
I am not at all disappointed to go unpardoned by a man who has never known a love he had not paid for. But what supporters of his remain must never forgive that this simpering creature failed to pardon truth-tellers in far more desperate circumstances:

Oh yes, who can forget President Pat Cipollone? No, the failure to pardon Assange falls on one man, and history will remember it was not a White House lawyer. twitter.com/CassandraRules…
1096
My thinking on the Assange pardon is very simple: setting aside all else, Trump will either be remembered as the first President since JFK who from his first to last day in office was hated by the NSA, CIA, and FBI, or as the one who caved to pressure at the very last moment.
1097
The consequences of a failure to pardon Assange mean he'll remain in prison indefinitely while the DOJ endlessly files meritless appeals out of spite. twitter.com/benlewismedia/…
1098
Reports that Trump has let himself be bullied out of pardoning Assange, mistakenly believing Senate Republicans won't vote to impeach him if he caves.
Once he's out of power, they're going to vote to impeach him anyway. Which, well——that's one way to be remembered. #Politics
