oh, sweetbreasts, it's the first time i heard chelsea manning, i woke to her and directly awakened, to love her, no doubt.  she is a sign of something good coming, rising through the cracks in the surveillance state and i am deeply heartened, whether she gets elected or not, that she can be who she is, an activist for human rights against the giants of death and destruction, that she is free is already a victory for sentient life on this imprisoned planet.
