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

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

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..

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

Reports coming in that US military is moving B-2 bombers from mainland US to the Pacific island of Guam
The planes are said to be refuelling over the Pacific
Australia now has a base for US B2 and B52 bombers in the NT - will we be next?
Will we become complicit in what is becoming a nuclear war?

Dutton began the election campaign saying "I'm very happy for the election to be a referendum on energy, on nuclear, on power prices, on lights going out, on who has a sustainable pathway for our country going forward"

I love that the Australian national broadcaster now seems to have a dedicated category of news for 'insects and arachnids'
I imagine for many European and American friends this will affirm fears about our lives 'Down Under'
(one headline here is about European wasps so this one's on you, friends)

This photo of men standing on a mountain of bison skulls often employed to show the genocidal acts of US colonialism. But did you know it's linked to the sugar industry? "Colonialism and capitalism travel together" explains Bethany Hughes from the Choctaw Nation

The next round of talks between nuclear armed USA & nuclear capable Iran are due soon. But there is deep mistrust, mixed messages, threats & retaliatory threats
How about everyone deescalates their ☢️ aggression, put down their nukes and disarms for all our sakes?

This week has been spent with Mr Morikawa, a hibakunisei (second generation survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bomb). Deep listening with survivors of nuclear harms is always a privilege. As the world watches the Nobel Peace Prize this week coming, remember the intergenerational survivors.

Many think fears of nuclear war was supposed to be left in the Cold War last century - but it's very much a threat today
SIPRI estimates of the total global inventory of an estimated 12,121 warheads in January 2024, about 9,585 were in military stockpiles for potential use.
