One year after being jailed for refusing to testify in front of a grand jury, Chelsea Manning was released from the Alexandria Adult Detention Center Thursday night. She was picked up by her lawyer, Moira Meltzer-Cohen, who entered the facility in a car and picked her up there.
Manning made no statement to the press directly, but her legal team offered the following statement:
"Judge Anthony Trenga today ordered Chelsea Manning’s release from confinement, after the apparent conclusion of the grand jury to which she had been subpoenaed, and before which she refused to testify. He further ordered that she pay $256,000 in fines which accrued each day she refused to cooperate with the grand jury.
Needless to say we are relieved and ask that you respect her privacy while she gets on her feet."
Sheriff Dana Lawhorne made a brief statement to the press verifying that she had been released from custody around 7:45pm.

The military wings of resistance factions in Jenin announced Sunday night at a military parade that they had prevented Israeli forces from entering the camp.
Participants reportedly included the "Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades," the "Martyrs Brigade," the "Jenin Brigade," the Mujahideen Brigade and the "Night Confusion Brigade," with the participation of dozens of masked armed men.
The parade roamed the streets of the camp, then the participants went to the funeral home of recently killed Baraa Lahluh in the camp and offered their condolences.
As an expression of unity, masked men from the military wings rose to the podium, and a spokesperson for the Jenin Brigade read out a statement where he reportedly said, "We announce, with all strength, boldness, and pride, and with the grace of God Almighty, the liberation of the first part of the historic enclaves of Jerusalem, which is the Jenin camp, and what unclean legs, A vile, improvised Zionist will trample the land of this pure camp, for it will only meet death, humiliation and humiliation.”
He added, "We will act on the will of the martyrs Jamil Amouri and Baraa Lahluh and all the martyrs, and we will direct all guns and all bullets at the chests of the Zionists and we will set them in ambushes as much as we can."

"Judaism yes! Zionism no! Israel has got to go!" Today hundreds of activists marched to AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual conference) to condemn Israeli influence on American foreign policy, and Israel's treatment of Palestinians.
Meriem Abou-Ghazaleh, a young Syrian-Palestinian activist, led the march in chant this year.
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be Free!"
"This is not a fight against Judaism," she told News2Share. "This is a fight against Zionism, a politically corrupt ideology that literally goes against entire Jewish faith and values."
"We demand an end to AIPAC's influence over American foreign policy," said event organizer Abbas Hamideh. "They can say it's anti-semitic, but nothing could be further from the truth."
"We wanted to take a look at what AIPAC is and how AIPAC influences American foreign policy, not just in Palestine, but they also want to send the American people to war," Hamideh told News2Share. "We ask them to wake up and understand why AIPAC exists and how much power they have over influencing foreign policy."
"We need to wake up and shut this place down."
AIPAC has been consistently protested every year by the Palestinian community but tends to get the support of both Republican and Democrat politicians. While in the 2016 race only Bernie sanders declined to attend, several Democrats running for president in 2020 have declined to attend, which marks a considerable progress for the anti-AIPAC crowd.
The issue is particularly spotlighted given Representative Ilhan Omar's comments that AIPAC influences American foreign policy because "It's all about the Benjamins, baby!"
Omar's comments were popular with protesters Sunday, some of whom quoted her and included her face on their signs.
The event also comes in the aftermath of Donald Trump declaring Golan Heights to be rightfully owned by Israel, a decision praised by Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu but condemned by anti-Zionist activists, who see it as Syrian land occupied by Israeli forces.

Protesters calling for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp marched to the offices of Washington Post, which they hoped to enter Wednesday afternoon. They say WaPo has given insufficient coverage to the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp, but MPD and building security prevented them from going inside.
One activist spoke to News2Share, describing how Washington Post has "done insufficient and minimal coverage of the continuing" operation of Guantanamo, despite Obama and Biden promising to close it.

Today Zachary Cruz, brother of Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz, announced a new anti-bullying initiative along with Nexus CEO Mike Donovan.
News2Share has extensively covered a number of activist events in the wake of the Parkland shooting focusing on further gun control to prevent school violence. Nexus CEO Mike Donovan told News2Share that Cruz feels differently about the solution.
"What he told me was 'gun control is not gonna solve the problem,'" Donovan explained. "At least not always, and not fully. There are kids still killing themselves, every day. There are kids still turning to drugs and alcohol every day."
"It may not be a mass shooting, but there are kids killing themselves everywhere. In every community. And gun control isn't going to change that."
