Chelsea Manning: Happy Birthday

It's Chelsea Manning's 26th birthday.
The fourth she has spent behind bars.
In August Chelsea was sentenced to 35 years in military prison for whistleblowing.
Earlier this month Marine A was sentenced to ten years for murdering an Afghan insurgent in cold blood.
The sort of war crime Private Manning exposed.

Update: Trafalgar Square vigil, this afternoon, via Queer Friends Of Chelsea Manning.

It only belatedly came to Fagburn's attention that it is also the birthday of Pope Francis. 

So thanks again to The Advocate for choosing his pope-iness as their Person Of The Year and ignoring Chelsea.
