tripplethrendo··on Harvard Withdraws Fellowship Invitation to Chelsea Manning
Yeah most people are only happy with Wikileaks when they're going after Republicans. They can't stand the same heat when they go after Democrats.

I have always been, and will remain, a fan of the truth being exposed.

tripplethrendo··on Amazon Kindle Matchbook is live
I still don't understand how an e-book, which can infinitely be replicated at no cost to anyone, can cost $10. How on earth does this make sense? I purchased A People's History of The United States a few years ago, and now I can buy it for my Kindle for $10? Who does this?

Occasionally Amazon will offer the Kindle price higher than the used physical copy price.
