This move to hand pick WH reporters is about controlling the narrative. The worrisome next question is: what else will the Trump administration do to sources and journalists who work to reveal true but unfavorable information about our government? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/b...

Trump scrapping internal whistleblowing and discrimination training will create an opaque environment where discrimination, fraud, waste, abuse and illegality can flourish unchecked amid a culture of fear of retaliation. www.newsweek.com/no-fear-act-...

My act of resistance today: “The over-the-top tactics Trump & Musk are using — placing ppl on ad leave w/o due process, leaning on career civil servants to resign, accusing them of ‘complete & utter incompetence’ — are very familiar to most #whistleblowers.” www.salon.com/2025/02/13/e...

This is not my most animated speech, but in 2021 I tried to warn people about Elon Musk's consolidation of power over the globe and the global imperial underpinnings of the "Kill Cloud" (timestamp 20:30), which I cowrote about in the book "Whistleblowing For Change" www.youtube.com/results?sear...

I’ve had clients prosecuted under the #EspionageAct & imprisoned for disclosing #classified info, even if in the public’s interest to know about (eg, torture)!! But Team Trump gets a pass when they do it for fame, gain, profit or revenge. 🤩💲👺🤺 www.cnn.com/2025/01/28/p...

In their introduction to the Investigating the #KillCloud conference, Jesselyn Radack and Thomas Drake discuss the key role of whistleblowers in the narrative of #AI and #warfare. Watch the video here: https://buff.ly/3ZP1D8X. #DNL34 @thomasdrake.bsky.social @jesselynradack.bsky.social

The Espionage Act continues to be sharpened as an unconstitutional and draconian weapon against #whistleblower & media leak cases. Already notoriously difficult for defense, pretrial detention makes things even harder. The public has a right to know.
