A note from @MichaelEllsberg: Soon I will be transitioning Daniel's Twitter account to a profile in his memory. I will occasionally share gems from Daniel's voluminous unpublished writing, which he authorized me and my brother @RobertEllsberg to edit and publish.
A note for media: @chrismichel has generously made his 2020 photos of Daniel and Patricia available for sharing via the link below. Please credit him as follows: "Photo by Christopher Michel @chrismichel"
We will be arranging a public Zoom memorial for Daniel in the coming months. This will be announced here on Daniel's Twitter with plenty of advance notice. Thank you.

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!
Biden should drop his appeal to extradite Julian Assange and dismiss all charges against him, on the new disclosures that Assange has been subjected to the same governmental crimes that led to the dismissal of my own prosecution half a century ago. 1/ news.yahoo.com/kidnapping-ass…
2/ These governmental crimes include illegal, warrantless surveillance, conspiracy to "totally incapacitate me" and--in the words of my judge--"bizarre events" that "offend a sense of justice." All of these apply exactly to the just-revealed crimes against Assange.
3/ Here is Judge Matthew Byrne's statement dismissing the charges against me and Tony Russo, on May 12, 1973. AG Garland should take similar action on Assange this week. And if that doesn't happen, the UK High Court should dismiss the appeal. / nytimes.com/1973/05/12/arc…
