The 3D printed fire control group is installed in the FGC-9 MKII and passes a function test. It did set off a primed case, so live fire will be tested tonight. Pictures of the hammer after dry firing to follow 👇 https://t.co/ZaetmkH4i7
Happy birthday, Chelsea Manning! (December 17, 1987)
As a member of the US Army, Chelsea Manning struggled with her gender identity and the moral weight of the innumerable crimes which she was privy and party to in America’s Middle Eastern wars. Downloading nearly 500,000 documents and smuggling them past security, Manning set out to expose them to the world. Rebuffed by mainstream news outlets, Manning gave the documents to WikiLeaks. She continued passing information on to WikiLeaks until she was caught and arrested. Her sentence of 35 years in prison caused outrage and was later commuted. She was imprisoned again for over a year recently for not testifying against wikileaks.
“In our zeal to kill the enemy, we internally debated the definition of torture. We held individuals at Guantanamo for years without due process. We inexplicably turned a blind eye to torture and executions by the Iraqi government. And we stomached countless other acts in the name of our war on terror.”

"For everyone, everything. For us, nothing."
From the artist:
To give all that one can while taking naught in return; this is an ideal I aspire to live by, and one that has been practiced for over twenty-four years by the Zapatista movement in its struggle against neoliberalism and the Mexican state.
Despite the global weight of colonial interests set against them, the Zapatistas have endured with an ideology based in mutual aid, horizontal autonomy through participatory democracy, and revolutionary feminism. I think it is clear that the libertarian socialist values of the movement mirror the ideals of pony society, and I think that artists should work to illustrate those parallels to help spread the seeds of revolutionary thought.
Vive EZLN, vive la revolución.
I would advise looking into the EZLN's titular commander Subcommandante Marcos' writings or interviews.
The Zapatistas assure people their basic needs, in style of Kropotkin. It's sort of a pro-tech Amish community with Mayan land practices.
