Elon Musk There are many other names, too. Did you know Daniel Hale is still in prison for revealing 9 out of 10 drone casualties were bystanders rather than targets? He did a remarkable and heroic thing. When did you last hear his name on TV? It's a real problem. theintercept.com/2021/07/27/dan…

Not only is he in prison - but he is in a notoriously restrictive unit called a CMU where communications in and out are extremely difficult

One way of resolving all these secret-document scandals is to acknowledge that after 75 years of experimentation, the chief accomplishment of the "classification system" has been to make our government less trustworthy and our country less free. Abolish and reform it. All of it.

Ten years ago today, Edward Snowden came forward as the source behind a series of revelations about the US's most secretive spy agency. A decade later he remains in exile. My piece in Jacobin on what he revealed and why it mattered. jacobin.com/2023/06/snowde…

We are sorry for not sharing more updates. There isn’t much to share. Daniel is waiting anxiously for his release and there has been no momentum on a pardon. He sends his love to Stella Assange ahead of next week and is glued to all the Espionage Act related news he can access

From Norman Solomon today in The Hill thehill.com/opinion/nation…

Two very different Espionage Act cases: Trump and the drone whistleblower—He “did not keep those highly sensitive secrets to share in the public interest like a whistleblower, but for self-interest and personal pursuits.” Real crime obstruction/treachery? thehill.com/opinion/nation…

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/just…

When Dan came forward and let everyone know his journey was coming to a close, Jacobin asked me to prepare an obituary. It was such an honor, but also the hardest thing I've ever had to write. I hope I did him justice. jacobin.com/2023/06/daniel…

Until Daniel Ellsberg (Memorial) got very ill, he was still Daniel Hale’s weekly Sunday call from prison- serving as a confidante, mentor and moral compass on the darkest of days. Rest in power, Mr. Ellsberg. Thank you for showing our Daniel so much love and compassion through to the end

👋🏽 from USP Marion. Daniel turns 36 soon and looks forward to it being the last birthday behind bars

Hosting this letter writing party with CODEPINK and Daniel Hale Support Team. Daniel loves receiving letters & he is turning 36 on August 1! Come write birthday solidarity letters with me :) codepink.org/danielhalebirt…

Thanks for covering his case Mehdi Hasan. For folks paying attention to this coverage, Daniel is still incarcerated at the CMU at USP Marion. In Congress, Rep. Ilhan Omar has been the lone, courageous advocate for his commutation. He is slated to be released next summer.

The Mehdi Hasan Show Mehdi Hasan Thx for this superb piece on #DanielHale. Pls consider speaking w me (his lawyer), @chipgibbons.bsky.social (chronicled his case), n (longtime friend & advocate), Sonia Kennebeck (doc on DH), William Neuheisel (runs support website), et al. Those in the trenches have a lot to add!

This is starting now! Come write birthday greetings to Daniel

It’s Daniel’s 36th birthday today! Please write to him, and follow the instructions posted here. He can’t receive postcards or greeting cards, but don’t hold back from printed photos and letters as long as they’re within regulation.

Daniel is happy to announce that he's made it to home confinement & will be there until July. In the meantime, he has asked that his supporters donate to and publicize a fundraiser for Justina Kaliebe, a comrade with whom he was incarcerated at CMU Marion: gofund.me/85f4bc61
