Chelsea Manning
Even if I didn't have the support that I have, I would still be fighting the same fights, and I would still be the same person that I am today.

There are just too many opportunities - and an increasing number of them - to hide systemic, institutional wrongdoing behind legal veils, legal theories, and arbitrary exemptions.

Chelsea Manning

Chelsea Manning
Investigative journalism and reporting has become much more dangerous. This is especially true for journalists and sources in National Security - but it has been getting pretty bad for beat reporters and small outlets doing local reporting, too.
Chelsea Manning
I want people to see the truth.
Chelsea Manning
If an organization produces a document, it should be made public as soon as possible.
Chelsea Manning
While being tossed around the world from place to place as a teenager, I wasn't really tethered to any place or anyone.
Chelsea Manning
I really don't care how I am perceived by people on the outside.
Chelsea Manning
I also request that, starting today, you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun (except in official mail to the confinement facility).
Chelsea Manning
The press and free speech landscape has totally changed. There is far less news reporting today. Instead, we have this endless stream of - largely meaningless and speculative - analysis by sideline commentators and self-proclaimed experts.
