Scumbag judges should be thrown off for this.
Completely bullshit. They held her in prison for a year with no charges and now they want her to pay a quarter million in fines? Fuck off.

#12TLDR; the Assange grand jury was dismissed today so Manning is ordered released but she still owes the coeercive fines which amount to $256,000.

#13If anyone knows of a (legit) way to donate or make a payment towards her $256,000 in fines, please do share the details.

#14This is fantastic news.
Why? I'm not familiar with the facts of the case. And, I further realize that facts are almost completely immaterial to motivated reasoning about the case, but... ... assuming that you (or someone) is a straight-shooter, why is this "fantastic news"?
Because she is being released from incarceration!?

#15At last some good news today.

#16Looks like they are still fining Manning $256,000.00.
Her attorneys recently said 'half million' in fines...so I'm confuzzled.

#17I'm wondering if jail is a safer or less safer place in light of the current pandemic.
Let's face it, if you got your freedom after so many years only to be handed a facemask on your way out and told - you will need this. Has to suck at some level.

#18Can Manning avoid the fines by declaring bankruptcy?
Re: Chelsea Manning ordered to be released [pdf]
#19Did something in particular change so they no longer needed her testimony, or did they finally accept her argument that she already told them what she knew and had nothing more to say? Edit: Oh I didn't see that the Assange grand jury was dismissed today!
She attempted suicide and a judge decided that she need not be incarcerated to compel her to be a witness.
That's not at all what the court order says.

#20I’ve said it before but the idea of secret courts trying to coerce people into doing things seems extremely backwards and regressive. Maybe I don’t understand this system but it doesn’t seem to be about getting justice. If there is testimony already given as well it seems doubly wrong, inconsistent and hateful.
