My dear father, #DanielEllsberg, died this morning June 16 at 1:24 a.m., four months after his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer. His family surrounded him as he took his last breath. He had no pain and died peacefully at home. commondreams.org/opinion/dan…

At one point he said, if he were to have a gravestone, that he would say: "He became a part of the anti-Vietnam and anti-nuclear movement." By chance, my interview about him, for release this Father's Day weekend, was posted today. plough.com/en/topics/justice…

Condolences. RIP, Dan.✌️ "spent the day at a Xerox machine copying Top Secret documents. I was thirteen" Still wondering why copy *all* the papers, rather than just sneak out and quickly copy the most-damning few pages - the biggest bombshells - faster, easier, less risk

💔I'm old enough to remember Watergate and your father, he did a great thing for this country and we should never forget him.
