Remember 2019?
It seems like ages ago, I know… but it would be prudent to review a few of the more riveting headlines:

Julian Assange Arrested — After exposing classified documents that proved war crimes and egregious abuses of government power, the founder of WikiLeaks was arrested in London, and he continues to be held in a maximum security prison to this day.
