The international community recognizes certain fundamental human rights: the right to free speech, to free worship, to be free of genocide and organized abuse, and the right not to take care of the goddamned cat if you don't feel like ithttps://t.co/bpM67SeMT1

Srsly? Srsly:
WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange has directed his legal team to launch proceedings against the government of Ecuador for “violating his fundamental rights.”
In a statement, WikiLeaks said Friday Ecuador had “threatened to remove his protection and summarily cut off his access to the outside world.”
It added that the embassy has refused journalists and human rights organizations to see him as well as installed signal jammers to prevent phone calls and internet access…
The memo, which was written in Spanish and first published by Ecuadorean website Codigo Vidrio, specifies that Assange must pay for his own expenses like food, medical and laundry, that visitors must have prior authorization, and that he must not only keep the spaces inside the embassy clean, but also take care of his cat. It also reiterates the position that he is not allowed to interfere in any other country’s political matters.
The leaked document says that the 47-year-old is at risk of losing both his pet and his asylum status if he does not comply….
I mean, "squatter posting Hillary memes in his underwear while Ecuadorans yell at him to empty the litter box" sounds like John Kennedy Toole lived to write another book
