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…

I was able to interview @DanielEllsberg for many hours about his life and the secret documents he never got to leak. It was a fascinating talk with a giant in American history and one you won’t want to miss #FirstPerson @nytopinion nytimes.com/2023/04/20/opini…

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

Dorothy Day refused to pay federal taxes in protest of spending for war. In the 1950s a young IRS employee who had called her in asked her how much she thought she owed. “I’ll tell you what,” she said. “You tell me how much you think I owe and I won’t pay it. How about that?”

No. In the 1970s this resurfaced. They said she owed $300K in taxes, tho no one at CW received a salary. But she wouldn’t register as a charity. Eventually the IRS dropped the case, in effect pretending that the CW was a registered tax exempt charity.

A harrowing story. And told so unbelievably thoughtfully, with photos. It’s a difficult but strongly recommended read.
