27 years old, served 4.75 of 35 years in jail for outing murder and abuse by the government. Black liberation fighters are dying in jail. Palestinians are dying in prison for supporting orphanages. Torturers are free, paid millions and protected by Obama explicitly. How do you suppose the world judges our society? Happy Birthday Chelsea Manning.
Edward Snowden sums up the mood of collective gratitude: “I thank you now and forever for your extraordinary act of service and I am sorry that it has come with such an unbelievable personal cost. As a result of your courageous act, the American people are more informed about the workings of our government as it positions itself for endless war ... For this we all thank you. Happy birthday, Chelsea.”
