50 years ago today, the @nytimes began publishing the Pentagon Papers. Join me and Noam Chomsky, Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, Barbara Myers, and @GarAlperovitz (who helped me release the Papers), today at 7:30PM EDT on a webinar organized by @VietnamPeaceCo1: vietnampeace.org/blog/pentag…

The publishing of the Pentagon Papers was my first real world awareness of the power and importance of a free press. Thank you, sir.

On this day as we celebrate release of the Pentagon Papers, we must also call for freedom for #JulianAssange #ChelseaManning #RealityWinner

Thank you, Daniel Ellsberg, for everything
It would be a wonderful gift to humanity if, on today's anniversary, the charges against #JulianAssange are dropped and Julian is free. End this vindictiveness and cruel incarceration of a journalist/publisher. #DropTheCharges

I hope you share the story of what you and Howard Zinn did the night before it published- that was priceless!
And here we are with people not nearly as educated or outraged as the anti-war protesters were. They need to reflect on Julian Assange today & fight for him; because if he goes down all of us do too!
