Chelsea Manning saw injustice and stood up for whats right. Now, shes serving a 35 year sentence in an all-male military prison. Shes been systematically abused by the U.S. government, held in conditions that the UN considers to be torture, and has attempted suicide twice during her 7 years behind bars. But now theres hope. NBC reports that she is on President Obamas short list for commutation.
The news has sparked a groundswell of support for Chelsea online. Hundreds of thousands of people have already taken action to support her, but now the message is simpler than ever.
But now as part of a last minute campaign called #HugsForChelsea, people are flooding the Internet with photos of themselves with their arms outstretched, waiting to give Chelsea a hug. The goal is to show President Obama how much love and support Chelsea has, and how many people are waiting for him to do the right thing and release her....

It’s a “He,” less a few appendages. The Puffington Host never gets anything right.

Manning has NOT had surgery. Betting if he gets out...he goes back to being a dude.
But Obama is probably looking to set precedence r the surgery. Just sick...

Its called Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
Some people go to South America to get legs and arms removed because doctors won’t do it here.
They can only chop off ####s.

IIRC, didn’t Bradley Manning leak all the classified info because he was upset about a gay relationship going bad?
