On 8/6 James Martin CNS & Middlebury Institute @youthdisarmament.bsky.social hosted “80 Years of the Nuclear Age: The Role of Youth in Building a Safer World.” Remembering all victims—including those of nuclear testing—and amplifying youth leadership for peace. sites.middlebury.edu/criticalissu...

Gov Yuzaki never disappoints. At the ceremony, his message was clear: ‘Deterrence has been broken by over-confident leaders, extreme egoism, pressure from an agitated populace, & widespread misunderstandings.’ A powerful reminder on this 80th anniversary. www.pref.hiroshima.lg.jp/soshiki/52/0...

"...we have to put that fear in the service of something — to have “the courage to be afraid,” ... and broaden our imagination to the scale of our arsenal." Hiroshima and the End We Refuse to Imagine www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The completion of Japan Nuclear Fuel's nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in the village of Rokkasho, Aomori Prefecture, which has been postponed numerous times, could be achieved next year.

If there was ever any doubt why France 🇫🇷 tried to stop @who.int from revisiting the health impacts of nuclear war at #WHA78 last night—this is why. For decades, France & other nuclear powers have tried to bury the truth about these weapons @jonhenley.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Today the World Health Organisation will take up the issue of nuclear weapons again for the first time in 40 years. Led by the small island nations of Samoa and the Marshall Islands seeks to revive the WHO’s role on nuclear weapons—and puts U.S. allies in an awkward bind.

how far this madness goes.
