Reality Winner.
Just saw Tina Satter’s movie adaptation of her piece, “Is this a room?”… boy, that is claustrophobic and intense! One can wonder in astonishment about the failed US state and even the failed US media while fascistoid and kafkaesque chills run down the spine.
Reality Winner deserves a medal.
No one has ever received a longer sentence for leaking classified information to a media outlet.
