The greatest danger to human civilization and the planet is the inability to believe that tomorrow can be different — the idea that we are individually powerless in the face of colliding existential threats.

78 years later, the impacts from the Trinity Test continue to be felt, even though downwinders from New Mexico have yet to receive compensation.
But that could change. RECA passed in the Senate, and now it needs to pass in the House.

Aug 6, will mark the 78th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
We will observe a minute of silence at 8:15 a.m. JST to pray for the souls of the dead and for peace.
No matter where you live in the world, you can join us at your own time.
Let's pray for world peace.

⚠️ Tactical nuclear weapons—those "smaller" bombs ostensibly meant for battlefield use—sharply increase risk of civilization-ending nuclear war.
In a new report, Nolan Center authors illustrate the history of this threat—and ways to bring it to an end.

"Today's nuclear weapons are much more powerful than Oppenheimer's nukes."
@JoanRohlfing & @James_DMcKeon provide modern context for viewers watching #Oppenheimer, the most highly anticipated film about nuclear weapons in decades. 👇 bit.ly/44tKCkr

"The best way to reduce nuclear risks and prevent a nuclear arms race is for the US & China to engage in serious dialogue to explore possible transparency, crisis management, & confidence-building measures," @hideo_y2 writes for Atomic Pulse 👇 bit.ly/43li7nJ

Me at a deterrence event gently ramping up to talk about paths to reduce the role of and eventually eliminate all nuclear weapons so as not to scare the hardliners:

The world is too dangerous and stupid for nuclear weapons.
We should really do something about that. globalzero.org/donate

Packed house tonight at Hometown Newsstand for the pop-up showcase of Atomic Terrain, exploring the intersection of nuclear weapons policy, colonialism, and environmental justice.
Great stuff @bombshelltoe!

This is EXACTLY @globalzero’s position: The use of nuclear weapons poses an existential threat to humanity, and the existence of nuclear weapons disproportionately harms marginalized communities. Morally bankrupt + huge mistake (in terms of building power) to pretend otherwise.
Both things can be true. @sapinker @derekjGZ
-Past harms from nuclear testing and development disproportionally hurt people of color.
-If nuclear weapons are used again everyone will suffer.
Tom Lehrer was right: we are all in this together.

Global tensions and growing nuclear arsenals increase the risk of tragic mistakes. To ensure a safer future, we must eliminate nuclear weapons. Disarmament is the way to prevent disasters and promote world peace.
"With international tensions rising along with nuclear arsenals, the corresponding risk[s] that mistakes or misunderstandings lead to disaster are increasing." @washingtonpost
To eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons, we have to eliminate the weapons.

John Wolfstahl reaction to Jake Sullivan’s speech at @ArmsControlNow conference this morning: We still have to have a vision for what we are trying to do. The US is committed to complete nuclear disarmament.

Atomic Terrain from @bombshelltoe is a project that brings policy research, creative writing, and gardening together to understand the connection between nuclear and environmental security.
...And it's coming to a city near you (if you live in NYC, LA, or DC)! Save the date 🗓️
