Dear @ElBaradei- it's an honor to hear from you. I have the greatest admiration for your career. I would like to talk with you personally about nuclear dangers. Please DM me, and let's talk. Thank you.

Nothing like it! Tuesday on @PBS: the premiere of "The Movement and the 'Madman,'" a film on the most effective mass protest action during the Vietnam War, perhaps any war. It stopped Nixon’s secret plan to initiate nuclear attacks on North Vietnam. A must-see.
Discover the story of the 1969 showdown between President Nixon and the antiwar movement.
“The Movement and the ‘Madman’” premieres Tue, March 28 at 9/8c on @AmExperiencePBS.

All the young activists rising up give me hope as I leave my life. As the movement against the Vietnam War showed, young people can save lives when they make their care known in action. Keep going. The world is in your hands. cnn.com/videos/tv/2023/03/23…

"It has been said that it’s good to live each day as though it were your last, but that’s not really practical. Living this *month* as though it is my last, however, is working out well for me, and I can recommend it."

I wrote this letter recently to my friends in the antiwar and anti-nuclear movements. I see it’s being circulated, so I’ve decided to share it here. For all of you working on these issues, thank you, and please keep going!

To @POTUS and @TheJusticeDept: Stop the extradition of Assange. I am as indictable as he is on the exact same charges. I will plead "not guilty" on grounds of your blatantly unconstitutional use of the Espionage Act. Let's take this to the Supreme Court.
EXCLUSIVE: “Let me tell you a secret… I had possession of the all the Chelsea Manning information before it came out in the press” - Pentagon Papers whistleblower
Daniel Ellsberg says he was given leaked US diplomatic cables “as a backup” by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
Daniel Ellsberg - Pentagon Papers whistleblower
Stephen Sackur speaks to Daniel Ellsberg, the Pentagon Papers whistleblower. He’s warned Americans of the dangers of unchecked military power ever since, but are they listening?
