Over the last year we have found ways to remember the events around the US bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, through our translated protocols, in conversation with intergenerational Hibakusa, a workshop with journalists on our protocols and our protocols in the community

Nuclear weapons make fascist game play an existential threat every day. Time to get rid of nukes. Fascism too. www.bbc.com/news/article...

David Bridie says "We can’t keep handing our creativity, our loyalty and our cash to amoral tech giants who see music as content and war as business. I’d rather earn nothing than profit from destruction." ❤️ www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

The US atomic bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima & Nagasaki took place on 6th and 9th August 1945 Next week we mark the 80th year since these events which caused ~250,000 deaths by years end With Hibakusha, we continue to call for a world free of nuclear weapons #Hiroshim80 #Nagasaki80

US nuclear bombs have arrived in Britain. The UK government is ramping up military spending and preparing for war. We’re telling Keir Starmer - don’t build bombs, build a better future. Join CND today: https://cnduk.org/join/

If you haven't seen this photograph or have turned away from it, look again now. Listen to the photographer's story and his plea. Then let all those feelings turn you not away, but to action. We can not leave these children in Gaza/anywhere to die due to our inaction. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

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

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..

This article describes the relationship between australia and the US as "one partner in a marriage demanding that they receive an ironclad commitment that you will never leave them while they strongly reserve the right to walk out whenever they like." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

2/ The radioactive cloud released from these tests didn’t stop at state lines. Winds carried fallout across New Mexico and beyond exposing thousands to radiation. Many still don’t know they were affected. #Trinity80

🧵80 years ago, the U.S. detonated the first nuclear bomb on colonised First Nations land. No warning. No consent. Just secrecy, suffering, and injustice. #NuclearBan

Coroner finds NT police officer who shot Kumanjayi Walker was racist and can’t rule out that racism played a role in fatal shooting Justice is never possible but this is a step towards truth telling

"a world without the UN would, for most people in most places, be more dangerous, hungrier, poorer, unhealthier and less sustainable." The UN is our best defence against a third world war, writes Simon Tisdall www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great news from Australia: Victoria’s First Peoples’ Assembly to be made permanent and granted decision-making powers and the ability to advise ministers on issues directly affecting Aboriginal people in the state www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"The US government’s decision last month to review the Aukus agreement has shaken the British and Australian governments – while also energising Australian opponents of the deal, who see this as an opportunity for Canberra to back out." #StopAUKUS www.straitstimes.com/opinion/auku...

I had to look this up to verify it. Yes, it’s true. The ring contained trace amounts of polonium, which had a half-life of 138 days. #history #advertising

The corporate world has us tied to digital data, demanding all identifiable details, all financial links and more...then they neglect the safekeeping of these things. Qantas is just the latest in huge data breeches we have seen. There is no data safety. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Horse bolted.... Qantas confirms cyber-attack exposed records of up to 6 million customers

The story of Bougainville's Panguna mine is still shocking. @riotinto has so much to answer for their crimes there - they must compensate the victims of their dispossession of villagers & harms from the environmental & cultural damage they caused and remediate now www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Instead of focussing on food security, fuel security, industrial resilience and a sovereign/flexible defence force, the boys in our Defence Department are focussed on grandiose toys. So too is Government. It’s time to abandon #AUKUS and reset our national security strategy. #auspol

As the US chooses destruction over diplomacy in Iran, Australia has to decide between principle and prostration advises Allan Behm in the Guardian today: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This morning Australian Foreign Minister Wong, when asked about the legality of the US strikes, stated, "I think we are all clear that Iran … cannot be allowed to get a nuclear weapon. So yes, the government does support action to prevent that." So apparently the rule of law is optional these days?

The third in our series of Washington Post articles is public: This one, written by my colleague @mknight.bsky.social, describes how the US president (yes Trump!) has the authority to order a nuclear strike, even if every adviser in the room is against it. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

References to "tactical" nuclear weapons in this otherwise great @theguardian.com story by @hugolowell.bsky.social are misleading. The US would drop a strategic B61-11 nuclear earth penetrator with a yield of 300 or 400 kilotons. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 15 and 21 kt.

Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) shows that of the 12,241 nuclear warheads globally, 9,614 remain in military stockpiles, and 3,912 are deployed on missiles and aircraft, with 2,100 kept on high operational alert. None of them were in Iran's military arsenal last week.

Australian govt must take an important stance right now. Not only because it's the right thing to stand up against flagrant breaches of international law; or dangerous escalations of regional and global conflict; but because half the world's governments have already done this: SIGN THE TPNW

"There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world." x.com/antonioguter...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

“The prospect of radiation release, the erosion of non-proliferation norms, and the emboldening of nuclear-armed states to act without accountability – the deadly logic of nuclear deterrence playing out in real time.” - Gem Romuld, the Australian director of ICAN www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

ICAN Australia has released a response to the US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities saying "This reckless action brings the world closer to nuclear disaster and underscores the urgent need to reject nuclear weapons and the cover they provide for military aggression." icanw.org.au/media-releas...
