Please listen to this brilliantly produced interview by @lourdesgnavarro for @nytimes with my dad @DanielEllsberg. His most urgent message: "With my last breath I will be doing what I can to postpone and avert the risk of nuclear war." nytimes.com/2023/04/20/opini…

He talks movingly of his "tribe"--those resisters, activists, truth tellers who are prepared to risk their lives, jobs, freedom for the welfare of "the others." The odds of success are low; but history and his own life show chance of success is not impossible. Worth it? "Yes".

Henri Nouwen's "Ukraine Diary" just published @OrbisBooks. In the intro I describe the background: how 30 yrs ago I rejected this account of his 1993-94 travels in Ukraine, only now to realize its meaning. It was, in effect, a message that was meant for the future, for now.

A webinar on the book from the @nouwensociety features reflections by Archbishop Borys Gudziak, who initially invited Henri to Ukraine in 1993; his brother Laurent, who after Henri's death carried on his wish for solidarity with Ukraine; and from me. bit.ly/3AdTXPO

Brilliant interview with my dad and @mitchellreports on @MSNBC. His message and "legacy" could not be more relevant. As he says, "I feel as if I am stepping out exactly where I came in," trying to warn vs the use of nuclear weapons in a stalemated war. on.msnbc.com/41q2k7a
