(14,176 posts)I honestly don't know the particulars. I found out about it because I also follow Glenn Greenwald, who called her "one of this generation's greatest heroes." Jake Tapper is also following her, so I'm thinking the account is legit

Tweeting from prison reqs a lot of effort and using a voice phone to dictate #90sproblems

But we are going through a very dark period where the bad guys are living in luxury and the good guys are being persecuted.
Not the first time in history that this has happened.
Hopefully it won't take as long as it sometimes has historically, to right these wrongs.

(62,325 posts)This is apparently one she can personally access.
She already has 21,000 followers. Pretty impressive so far.
Starting with a shout out to the friends who have always stood by me @ggreenwald @amnesty @carwinb @savemanning and so many others #thankyou
Nice that she acknowledges the people who have consistently supported her.
She never should have been arrested. She should have been a witness in the Trials of Bush/Cheney and the rest of the War Criminals who are still, shamefully, loose in this world.
