This weekend I went to Tularosa, NM for a vigil on the anniversary of the Trinity test. I was so moved by the community's battle w. cancer & persistence in demanding compensation & recognition from the govt. Here is some of what I heard from members of the community. 1/13

Author Ta-Nehisi Coates made the powerful case for reparations to members of Congress today: "It is tempting to divorce this modern campaign of terror, of plunder, from enslavement, but the logic of enslavement, of white supremacy, respects no such borders."

For most of us, nuclear weapons can seem kind of abstract, far away. For people living in areas were nuclear weapons have been produced, tested, their effects and impact are everywhere. Check out @azakre's thread for a powerful illustration👇 It's time to #endnukes

[#NoFirstUse @CostOfNukes]

They're pushing to buy more than a dozen new nuclear subs at about $6Billion each.

LIVE at 12 ET: Most U.S. policymakers have little understanding of what the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is or how it operates, a fact that limits our ability to peacefully resolve the crisis in North Korea. Join the conversation with #CatoFP... https://t.co/oeGdL8NOLd

[PSR Nuclear Weapons Abolition @PSRnuclear]

Is your bank using your $$$ to finance #nuclearweapons? @PAXforpeace and @nuclearban have launched a new report showing how banks and pension funds are financing the companies involved in the production of nuclear weapons @DontBankonBomb https://t.co/s2lO14jsvD

[Global Zero @globalzero]

There is a new nuclear arms race happening. To prevent this, the US and Russia should work toward extending New START, which has reduced and limited the number of nuclear weapons of both countries, and is up for renewal in 2021. https://t.co/arxMSLlD3w

[GermanForeignOffice @GermanyDiplo]

The problem: The #NPT is undergoing a crisis. The nuclear-weapon states must do more to live up to their responsibility and disarm. At the same time, there is a danger that more states will acquire or have already acquired nuclear weapons (e.g. Iran and North Korea) 3/5

[Hans Kristensen (also on Bluesky) @nukestrat]

Fascinating batch of declassified documents from @NSArchive about nuclear alert postures https://t.co/7p5sgj0vtj

Also check out our UNIDIR nuclear alert study from 2013 https://t.co/xEetsn8odf

[Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists @BulletinAtomic]

The mother of all UFO narratives, the so-called Roswell Incident, is deeply rooted in the nation’s nuclear history. https://t.co/WB25h3YtvU

Check out @nukes_of_hazard’s fact sheet on #NoFirstUse!

“If the United States did use nuclear weapons first, a nuclear-armed adversary is likely to retaliate with nuclear weapons, and a conflict could escalate into a full-scale nuclear war.” https://t.co/hH5KAEVSc5

Love these high school students against war in Yemen!!!

JUST IN: House defense bill sets stage for contentious nuclear debate https://t.co/S0EyB6CgAp

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

This is outrageous, Saudi Arabia has a consistent record of violating human rights, destabilizing democratic movements in the Middle East and is causing a humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Last thing we should do is sell weapons to them.

Over the next 10 years nations will waste over $17.5 trillion on defense.

How large is 17,500,000,000,000?

If $1=1 second.
$17.5 trillion=554,921 years.

On many levels it seems that world peace would be the greatest gift we could give to the planet.
