So I have these feelings in a context where the criminal justice system is broken, society is oppressive, and shit is just generally Bad. It's within the context that Chelsea Manning got imprisoned for letting the public know about information that should have been the public's right to know. She got imprisoned for an undue amount of time given the "crime" committed, and then was subject to the psychological torture that's unfortunately business as usual for trans people in the criminal justice system.

Everything about Chelsea's experience has been extraordinarily unfair, and her emminent release is, at the very least, a step towards things in the world being slightly less broken.
