As predicted, they convened a new grand jury just to toss her back in the clink, along with an unprecedented from of punitive extortion.
Chelsea E. Manning, @xychelsea, May 16:
** Today, Chelsea was not only put back in jail, but Judge Anthony Trenga ordered her to be fined $500 every day she is in custody after 30 days and $1,000 every day she is in custody after 60 days. This is unprecedented.

Like a champ she was streaming video games the night before the trial. I’d say the dirtbags doing this need a lesson in class, but they get one every time they’re in the room with her. Maybe that’s why they want her out of sight. Anyhow, storm every Bastille, smash the state, yadda yadda.

Not just class, but sheer fucking grit too.
Oh fuck. And this while Trump and his accolytes openly ignore subpoenas and ignore the rule of law.
“YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!”
Jazzlet – The grittiest.
Charly – I wonder that this whole situation could also be considered authorities ignoring the law.
Marcus – Ugh. ;__;
i oughtta do a new post bc seeing that bit about that judge every time i load the page makes me feel mm just a little like going apeshit on a fascist.
Wait, what? They put her in jail and then charge/fine her money because they put her in jail?
