Might be scarce on social media for a bit. 🙏🕊️Peace & Goodwill

Excellent piece on Trump's call to resume nuclear testing in The Independent (and not just because is cites me & my @ucs.org colleague @dkspaulding.bsky.social). BLUF for Trump, as duly noted by our @nuclearban.bsky.social colleague: Melissa Park: "This is no way to win the Nobel Peace Prize."

President Trump said he is ordering the resumption of nuclear weapons testing. This is a horrible, dangerous, costly idea. 🧵 1/4
