My thoughts on the Chelsea Manning case
I have to admit I have mixed feelings about Chelsea Manning’s sentence being commuted by President Obama. I suppose I’m okay with it because it does not absolve her of the crimes she was convicted of like a pardon would have, and she has clearly suffered inhumane treatment while being
The war against porn…yet again

It’s time to end the shaming of the Porn Industry and those who work in it.
