I'm terrified for American, to weaponise this so blatantly and quickly is incredibly dangerous. He could not have cared less when Democrats were murdered recently, I dread to think what measures he will try to justify with this

Wrote a short piece arguing that the UKās nuclear strengthening, and the narratives around it, does not lead to security and in fact makes us all less safe:
ā¢ #NuclearPoliticsParadox No.18 #KeirStarmerās speeches around the UK's #StrategicDefenceReview contain narratives that make nuclear strengthening seem logical. šØ @ZeenatSab argues this alerts us to the insecurity to which #Nuclear posturing leads us. š https://t.co/ujvpxiidkY

My God. Each pair of shoes is a child's life.
Today in Utrecht a grim milestone was marked; for the 2nd year in a row, a Dutch activist group laid out childrenās shoes & read aloud the names & ages of the children who have been killed by the Israelis in Gaza. Today they read 19k names. It took almost 6 hours.

80 years ago, the world changed forever š We are thankful for the brave truth-telling of the survivors of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, & nuclear testing. Disarmament is not simply a goal, it is our responsibility to those who paid the highest price. Join us: #HumanRaceNotArmsRace

If you had been at #Hiroshima, 80 years ago this morning of 6 Aug, and survived the damage wrought by the single Little Boy, these are some of the sights that you wld have seen. Let's not forget that nuclear weapons r not ordinary weapons. The rest will follow.

To mark the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasakiāāand the start of the nuclear epochāāI have explored the role of fear in driving states to acquire nuclear arms and the limits of fear as a basis for lasting security
theconversation.com
If the nuclear bomb was born out of fear, then ensuring it is never used again requires replacing fear with trust.
