I read Breslin’s piece on Pollard in my first year of Journalism school. Still one of the best things I’ve ever read.

Not so fast. As I understand it, the people he beat up were men.

Dear Woody:

Revis is a legendary Jet and yet his biggest accomplishment is winning a Super Bowl with the Patriots.

Man, I can NOT believe that the Pats cutting him loose was the right move. Seriously. That’s ridiculous.

I love how refusing to visit a draft dodger in the White House is somehow disrespectful to the troops. Not to mention our commander-in-chief once ridiculed a gold star family, a war hero and said he “knows more than the generals.” Yeah, he respects the hell out of the troops.

It obviously also means that you hate Cuba, you racist fuck. /s

Not sure if this is a legit right-wing meme, but the misspelling of “Whtiehouse” is compelling evidence.

The fact that they felt the need to even address the issue is insane. Like, this is the most important thing you have to deal with right now? Trump’s narcissism knows no bounds.

I was pleasantly surprised by how many men were at the NYC march. One of my favorite chants was a call-and-respond where the women shouted “My body, my choice” and the men responded “Her body, her choice.” I’ve been feeling very alone in this crazy country recently, and today was a good reminder that we have friends…

Another woke little dude. Saw this on twitter.

OK, hang on. I’m of Indian origin too. Two words: Narendra Modi. Are you kidding me? The guy incited bloody riots that actually resulted in deaths.

Nah son, Brushfire Fairytales is a shitty album.

It is possible to think 35 years is too long but 3.5 years is too short.

(edit: 6 years—-she was credited for pre-trial confinement. That is closer to ok, but I’d say 10-15 is in the right ballpark)

You know that’s a common thing in American jails/prisons, right? In the “justice system” when someone attempts to kill themselves they’re officially seen as a danger to themselves and thus they can be tossed in solitary. Never mind the psychological torture of solitary, our system believes they’re “keeping people…

I think she deserved her sentence. It is hardly the worst under the espionage act (which allows for a death sentance). That said the treatment of prisoners of Manning’s level (pretty much continual solitary confinement) is horrible and should be done away with. But freeing her isn’t going to change any of that for…

She IS a traitor, and DOES deserve to be in prison. Maybe not for 35 years, but for longer than what her commutation takes her to. The oath of enlistment, not to mention all the various things she had to do to even be trusted with access to that information mean that she’s isn’t a whistle blowing hero in this case,…

Wow. She put so many lives in jeopardy with the info she leaked, and you are hoping for a fame and fortune filled future for her? Cool.

She deserves to be in prison. She’s a traitor.
