I agree with @DanielEllsberg, and admire @xychelsea's courage. Compelling sources to testify against the journalists with whom they've worked threatens the independent function of the free press in an open democracy. She must be released. freedom.press/news/daniel-el…

"Yesterday is a day that will live in the history of journalism," says Pentagon Papers source @DanielEllsberg on the indictment of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. "There hasn't actually been such a significant attack on the freedom of the press … since my case in 1971."
Daniel Ellsberg says Julian Assange's arrest is an attack on the press
Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, who was charged under the Espionage Act in the '70s, says he has long warned journalists that they and their sources could be targeted with the same law.

Recently I’ve seen many rumors and lies circulating about me. And enormous amounts of hate.
So I’ve written a text to make some things clear about my school strike.
