Chelsea Manning is tweeting from prison
Currently serving a 35-year sentence in military prison, Chelsea Manning has joined Twitter under the handle @xychelsea. Her first tweet was posted just after noon today, saying simply: “This is my new twitter account =P” Manning is dictating the tweets over a landline phone from prison, but said she’s hoping to use the system to reply to followers as well as posting tweets, allowing for a meaningful two-way dialogue with the outside world.
