When we say that nuclear weapons are in our DNA we are not saying it lightly Each of our bodies - & those of every living creature - carries the violence of nuclear weapons "testing" in our bodies These bombs transformed our environment We live our lives with this harm www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Having commemorated the 80th anniversary of the Trinity nuclear explosion yesterday, today the @nucleartruthproject and @nuclearban begin the last three days of the solidarity tour, visiting Acoma Pueblo, Jackpile uranium mine and Red Water Pond Road community From the cradle to the grave

Today there are over 12,400 nuclear weapons. SIPRI & FAS warn a dangerous new nuclear arms race is energing. Arms control regimes are severely weakened. Nearly all of the nine nuclear-armed states are continuing intensive nuclear modernization, upgrading existing weapons, adding new versions.

My stepfather was a teen when nuclear bombs first dropped. He would recall people celebrating initially - it had been a long and brutal war...on the back of another war a gen before. They were told this stopped the war...but they soon learned it was the start of a different war, one affecting us all

As we mark the anniversary of the very first use of nuclear weapons in New Mexico, we stand with the People there and around the world impacted by nuclear violence. It was never acceptable harm. We will never forget. We will abolish these weapons. Follow @nucleartruthproject for more.

Nuclear war is an ever present threat while ever there remains nuclear weapons. Those who have experienced nuclear violence - from the deserts of New Mexico to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and beyond - can tell us that the harm goes on. In contamination of bodies and environment, in our minds and politic

I have been quietly contemplating the 80th anniversary of Trinity - the first nuclear bomb test All my people who knew that day, or knew the days to come in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, have now passed. I begged them to them tell me what they felt and thought when they first learned of nuclear weapons..

80 years ago this morning—at 5:29 AM (Mountain War Time)—about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, the nuclear age began with a big bang. Contrary to widespread assumptions, the area surrounding the remote Trinity test site was not uninhabited, and the fallout did not drift away harmlessly.

This Wednesday 16 July is the 80th anniversary of the very first use of a nuclear weapon. The Trinity test marked the beginning of a legacy of harms that continue to this day. We are in New Mexico this week to listen to the Trinity Downwinders and other affected communities Follow along #Trinity80
