I think we can achieve meaningful change, but only if we demand that the institutions themselves change their behavior.

Disturbingly, the First Amendment, along with the Fourth Amendment - protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures, and requiring warrants - have been the major casualties of the shift in government policy in the last two decades. Unfortunately, I think that the biggest consequences of this tragedy won't be clear until it is far, far too late.

It's not my goal to be a leader or spokesperson, or anything like that.

Donations to my legal defense fund really help, and I think keeping me motivated and spreading the message are also very important.

As a young kid, I spent a lot of time exploring the world around me.

I think the increased ubiquity of the internet and networked computing in general allowed me to have some tether no matter where I was geographically. I could log in to a computer from anywhere in the world and access the same information and the same people. It allowed me to transcend the physical differences.

I have served a sufficiently long sentence. I am not asking for a pardon of my conviction.
