On July 16, 1945, the first nuclear weapon was detonated. The code name for the test was Trinity. Today, more than 12,300 nuclear weapons exist, & peer reviewed research shows that a nuclear exchange of less than 3% of that could lead to the deaths of billions. No one wins a nuclear war.

The @nucleartruthprj.bsky.social is proud to support this webinar for Japan based journalists in the lead up to the 80th anniversary of the US atomic bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki Run by local community members & Rico Iishi Robertson, the event will introduce the NTP Protocols to journalists

The CBO projects $946 billion in nuclear weapons spending by 2034 That figure excludes recent overruns in the Sentinel program Davis Winkie reports on rising costs and policy tensions in USA TODAY

I've written a comprehensive report on plutonium pit production - including a critical look at the history, the risks and costs, and the science of Pu aging. Short story: new pits are unnecessary, dangerous, and expensive and alternatives provide a safer future. Please read and circulate! #NukeSky

Some additional essays (among countless others) we'd like to point your attention to cover many topics ranging from women in the anti-nuclear movement in the pacific islands, women and historical nuclear protests, and women in the UK protesting the nuclear program.

May 24th is International Women's Day for Peace and Disarmament. Take a moment to check out feminist peacebuilding orgs like @wilpf.bsky.social and read about gender and disarmament from @rcw-wilpf.bsky.social and gender & nuclear weapons from @nuclearban.bsky.social

NUCLEAR WINTER! Another song from my Atomic Cabaret show — written for climate scientist Alan Robock and dedicated to Carl Sagan, both champions of nuclear abolition. #NoNukes #AtomicCabaret #NukeSky #Climate @alanrobock.bsky.social youtu.be/6JIEnMLLzpA

We just hosted a fascinating conversation with Katie Kingsbury and @wjhenn.bsky.social on the @nytopinion.nytimes.com "At the Brink" series about modern nuclear threats. Watch it now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V0B...

Do you have an event in the PNW dealing with nuclear abolition/disarmament? Or a digital event on nuclear abolition... anywhere? Let us know! We can add you to the community calendar and/or to the digital bulletin board

Was talking to students about the relationship between nuclear weapons and freedoms---here's one of those ties... www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

This week, Joseph Nye, a legend in international relations scholarship, passed away at age 88. Here is his final commentary on how the US's recent actions may increase nuclear proliferation and he pushes back against arguments that increased proliferation could be stabilizing.

Any resumption of full-scale nuclear tests would be technically unnecessary and geopolitically disastrous. The latest from my colleague, Jennifer Knox, @ucs.org explains how scientists helped usher in the Partial Test Ban and reminds us that we can do it again, and do even better.

MARK Harmony // Oh Sweet Marshall Islands MARK Harmony is a mixed genre band out of Springdale, AR striving to raise awareness of the Marshall Islands and their history. Oh Sweet Marshall Islands specifically addresses the nuclear testing and its terrible ramifications on the Marshallese people.

No, @clivehamilton.bsky.social, it is not time for Australia to acquire nuclear weapons. Nor will it ever be. The safer path is diplomacy and disarmament. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/05... #nuclearban

From the Haymarket rally to the Vieques victory, May 1 shows that peace and justice come not from governments or bombs, but from organized people demanding something better. buff.ly/4WMaOxv

Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner receits her poem 'History Project' (text here - www.kathyjetnilkijiner.com/history-proj...) dealing with the ecological and health horrors, manipulation, and dehumanization rippling out from the Marshall Islands nuclear tests. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJm0...

One week from today: Check out Dr. Hamblin's lecture at UO on the Models of Harm for Radiation Effects in the Nuclear Age. May 6th at 4pm, 112 Lillis Hall

Are scare tactics the best way to raise public consciousness about the dangers of nukes? Maybe not. @emmaclairefoley.bsky.social joins the pod to discuss that and a lot more! youtu.be/HpgD-uXsA2g?...

Sobering report from CBO: Nuke modernization cost expected to reach nearly $1 Trillion the next decade, 25% more than projected last year. www.cbo.gov/system/files... This train wreck has been 15 years in the making as officials downplayed cost/risks of excessive modernization.

At 4pm on May 6th, @jdhamblin.bsky.social will be speaking at UO (Lillis Hall 112) on the long history of using humans, animals, and computer simulations to model the harm from radiation effects. nuclearabolition.now/models-of-ha...

Anybody going to #NUKECON a morning person? If so, you should come to our side event tomorrow at 7:45. Set your alarm!

“Sensible & sustainable nuclear modernization plan”? Come on @thebulletin.org ! We must ABOLISH NUKES, not make modernization “sensible”. The US would save TRILLIONS of dollars & turn doomsday clock OFF by CANCELING nuclear modernization arms race! #NoNukes #NukeSky thebulletin.org/2025/04/doge...

Thanks to everyone who followed our updates about the explosion at the Northrop Grumman missile and rocket plant in Utah's West Desert today. Here's our story on @inkstickmedia.com Substack -- and we've got more to dig into: inkstick.substack.com/p/building-e...

How much does the U.S. spend on nuclear weapons — and why is it so hard to find out? Stephen I. Schwartz breaks down the hidden costs of nuclear weapons, Congress’s limited oversight, and the $2 trillion overhaul now underway. Read the full story here:

It is always important to remember the fallibility of humans when considering the risks of weapons of mass destruction. Stories like this from 1966 where the US accidentally dropped nuclear bombs on Spain, for example. www.bbc.com/culture/arti...

FAS released their latest update on the state of the worlds nuclear forces recently. It's not great news. • nine countries possess roughly 12,331 warheads as of the beginning of 2025 • the USA and Russia possess approx 88% of the world’s total inventory of nuclear weapons fas.org/initiative/s...

While the bomb is indiscriminate in who it annihilates with its blast, the consequences of nuclear fallout and related traumatic scenarios disproportionately harm women. However, they're largely absent from the positions/rooms where nuclear policies are made. armscontrolcenter.org/nuclear-weap...

I'm attending World Beyond War’s 2025 Virtual Film Festival: The Untold Stories of Nuclear Weapons. Throughout the month of March we will explore the impacts of nuclear weapons, in commemoration of Nuclear Remembrance Day. #NoNukes #NukeSky worldbeyondwar.org/filmfest2025/

People in the St Louis area were exposed to waste from nuclear weapons production and got sick. Over 41,000 elsewhere received compensation but St Louis was not included and money expired last year. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Excellent commentary from @ploughshares.bsky.social on what it means to be part of the anti-nuclear community & "not only opposing dangerous technologies but also working to build a movement that reflects the diversity of the world it seeks to protect." ploughshares.org/article/what...

Demon Mineral screening tomorrow at the kaku-ixt mana ina haws in Corvallis. Post screening there will be a discussion of the consequences of uranium mining on Navajo Nation with Dr. Oliver Tapaha. For info on remote access to the discussion see: nuclearabolition.now/demonmineral...

Activists were outside the Vandenberg Air Force Base last night to protest to the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. A stunt to demonstrate the US's nuclear arsenal. ELIMINATE ICBMS!! NO NUCLEAR BOMBS! Learn more here: defusenuclearwar.org/eliminate-ic...

Demon Mineral has been rescheduled for February 24, 2025 at 530 pm (with discussion at 7pm). For more info (including remote discussion access) see: nuclearabolition.now/demonmineral-rescheduled

A reminder: in just under two hours Dr. Shannon Cram is speaking at Lillis 111 at @uoregon.bsky.social

In an hour: The Union of Concerned Scientists is holding a training webinar on how to write and submit a comment to hold LANL accountable for expansion risks (driven by increased plutonium pit production) & advocate for protection of the public and the environment. secure.ucsusa.org/a/2025-2-18-...

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/o... Fantastic piece from @beafihn.bsky.social reminding us that a great tool of nuclear proponents is to make you believe a world without nukes is naive and unrealistic. It's not true. We can and will abolish nuclear weapons and you absolutely can help.

M.V. Ramana on the opportunity costs of nuclear weapons & they are also a clear indication of the preferences of the powerful institutions and individuals who benefit from them. Nuclear weapons are inherently undemocratic & perpetuate systemic inequality. www.counterpunch.org/2024/12/03/n...

Incredible reporting from William Langewiesche on an early 80s war game that spiraled out of control, highlighting the dangers of low yield tactical nukes in terms of triggering the "death spiral" of escalation. We must not wait to build communication & trust. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/m...

An essay from Charles Oppenheimer. He argues that it is a must for us to work together, even with adversaries, as the costs of nuclear war are too high. We have been lucky so far. Belief in cooperation is not naive, but believing a nuclear war can be "won" is. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/s...
