Hey @NatWestGroup, nuclear weapons are banned now so why are you still financing companies that make them? Time to divest! https://t.co/CQKi5V0pNZ #nuclearban #ChangeNatWest

We must reinvigorate a "broad and cohesive civil society movement to shape public opinion about the threat, risks and policy solutions...that doctors and scientists can help to lead."

Congratulations to @ZackPolanski on your stunning victory.

Your campaign took on the rich and powerful, stood up for the dignity of all marginalised communities, and gave people hope!

Real change is coming. I look forward to working with you to create a fairer, kinder world.

MoD urged to publish details regarding the Category A radiation risk incident at Faslane earlier this year.

The consequences of the incident and measures for future prevention should be publicised, otherwise the Scottish public will continue to worry that these cases will recur!

This week, a foul untruth was published about me in @guardian letters page.

Thank you for allowing me to correct the record: I know my parsnips from my potatoes.

Rob Edward @FerretScot with the indispensable reporting on the UK nuclear nightmare.

If we didn’t have investigative journalists with initiative the Scottish public would be completely in the dark about all of this.

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Even the Guardian is covering it now

The dam has burst

We have all the receipts

This is direct participation in genocide. For 20 months - and counting

[Rasha Abdul-Rahim 🇵🇸 @Rasha_Abdul]

This is HUGE. Merz announces Germany not will approve arms exports to #Israel that could be used in #Gaza until further notice. This is in response to Netanyahu’s plan to fully occupy Gaza.

Many people will (rightly) say this is too little too late, but it is unprecedented.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

I just returned from two weeks in Japan, and I have to be honest, it really opened my eyes to how far behind the U.S. is falling in so many basic ways.

Some things that stood out:

- In two weeks across some of Japan’s most densely populated cities, I saw only two visibly homeless people.

- I saw one person who appeared to be struggling with addiction.

- High-speed rail made affordable, clean, efficient transportation the norm, not a fantasy.

- I never once felt unsafe letting my kids walk freely beside me in public.

- Despite having far fewer public trash cans, Japan’s streets had a fraction of the litter.

- The country’s reduced income inequality was visible everywhere, from housing to public services.

I already know what some right-wing folks will say: “It’s because Japan has low immigration” or “It’s not run by Democrats.” But those are lazy excuses and distractions from the real issues.

The truth? We’ve normalized dysfunction in the U.S., and we make excuses for it instead of demanding better.

80 years ago, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were devastated by nuclear weapons. Tens of thousands of children were among the dead We remember them. We honor them and we say: Never Again‼️

Israel is the only country in the region with nuclear weapons, 90, according to @FAScientists. In 2024 alone, it spent over $1B on its arsenal (via @nuclearban).
Iran does not have an active nuclear weapons programme and Israel’s attack is illegal.

Nearly all of the nine nuclear-armed states—🇺🇸🇷🇺🇬🇧🇫🇷🇨🇳🇮🇳🇵🇰🇰🇵🇮🇱—continued intensive nuclear modernization programmes in 2024, upgrading existing weapons and adding newer versions.

80 years of living under this existential threat is enough given we know we have only avoided nuclear disaster by luck on a number of occasions.. Now is the time to eliminate these weapons before they eliminate us . Why not get active with us: https://t.co/zAhiW8lS1G

80 years since nuclear weapons were invented and first used, in #NewMexico, #Hiroshima, #Nagasaki, and tested in places like the #MarshallIslands, #Kazakhstan, and #Algeria. Watch this powerful cross-generational message and don’t stop there🧵

This dangerous escalation from nuclear-armed Israel has undermined the prospects for successful talks on Iran’s nuclear programme and risks a broader war further threatening civilian lives. Read more here: https://t.co/XMkpowO86w

"Nuclear spending is not the only aspect of nuclear policy kept from the public and policy makers, but it is a particular affront to democratic governance."

What else don't we know about nuclear spending & why does it matter? Read on our Story Center: https://t.co/X1vVxT8tZw
