For as long as I've known @DanielEllsberg, he has continuously expressed a desire to do more to end the government's abuse of secrecy; that for the state to deceive the public is to undermine democracy.
We're proud to announce a new effort, in his name, for your right-to-know:
In honor of a whistleblowing legend: Announcing the @DanielEllsberg Chair on Government Secrecy. freedom.press/news/in-honor-…

I was recently on a panel w/ @DanielEllsberg where he implored a room of 200 reporters to skeptically investigate the secrecy system.
So in honor of our dear friend, we're going to do just that: Announcing the Daniel Ellsberg Chair on Government Secrecy freedom.press/news/in-honor-…

“The war in Ukraine, he said, “feels very similar to Vietnam. The war is stalemated, that seems so obvious now except for the fact that both sides totally deny 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!

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."
