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…

"Every journalist in the country now knows for the first time that she or he is subject to prosecution for doing their job... That eliminates the First Amendment freedom of the press, which is the cornerstone of our American democracy"

"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."

Trump's war on the free press--his "Enemy of the People"--escalated to a new and dangerous height yesterday, unveiling the first indictment in our history of a publisher: for the crime of committing unauthorized journalism.
“It’s a very serious assault on the First Amendment. A clear attempt to rescind the freedom of the press” - @DanielEllsberg speaking w/ @SharminiPeries

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.
