Scientific American got at tour of a nuclear weapons facility at Los Alamos. Large expensive upgrade to produce new nuclear weapons. No pictures, though. https://t.co/19ziyf7PSQ

#Nonviolence is more than the absence of violence; it's a commitment to resolving conflicts with #compassion and respect. It's choosing dialogue over discord and unity over division. Join us on a journey to discover the power of nonviolence. 🕊️💙

The Strategic Posture Commission report from Congress is out. It recommends the United States should embark on a broad buildup of its nuclear arsenal.

The report reads more like a nuclear industry pitch than a Congressional study.

Ceasefire now.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

I just keep thinking about that time Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they “didn’t know the things that would lead to peace.”

For decades, the state of Israel has been crushing the people of Gaza and the West Bank, doing things that do not lead to peace. In response, Hamas has chosen to terrorize and kill people, doing things that also do not lead to peace. Now Israel is returning the harm, dropping bombs and killing women and children, which certainly does not lead to peace.

I’m pretty sure Jesus is weeping over Jerusalem… and Gaza… right now. Maybe we should be weeping with him.

Let us each take a moment to pause and pray…

Let’s ask ourselves and our God, what are the things that lead to peace?

What does love require of us at such a time as this?

What does it look like to resist injustice without mirroring injustice?

What does it look like to stand against terror without becoming terrible?

What does it look like to choose the way of the cross rather than the sword, and to follow the enemy-loving Jesus, the Prince of Peace?
