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.

"No-fly zone” is a misleading/misunderstood slogan. It calls for US air attacks on Russian ground targets. That would be war between the US and Russia. Neither side would permit itself to lose without resorting to nuclear weapons, endangering humanity. nytimes.com/2022/03/18/opini…

Our ICBM program is toxic pork. In fact, it would improve our security, and the world's, to pay Northrop Grumman NOT to build new ICBMs, and to remove the dangerous, launch-on-warning Minuteman missiles from their silos. commondreams.org/news/2022/0…

To Avert 'Global Nuclear Holocaust,' US Groups Demand Abolition of ICBMs

Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg says no other immediate action would go further "to reduce the real risk of a false alarm in a crisis causing the near-extinction of humanity."
