81st anniversary of Hiroshima atomic bombing
Today is the 81st anniversary of the nuclear bombing of #Hiroshima. Yet despite the gut wrenching horror, the 9 nuclear states have *already* amassed the equivalent firepower of 145.000 Hiroshima bombs & still want more. This is madness. #NoMoreHiroshimas @cnduk.bsky.social
Russell England 7Went there in 2016, had goosebumps stepping off the tram outside the dome. Still gives me goosebumps now. I also saw thousands of paper cranes in display cabinets outside. From children all over the world. And discovered the story of Sadako Sasaki.

Will 🏳️🌈1It is abhorrent. It is also reality. What is the plan for disarmament? Israel, North Korea, Pakistan and India, let alone Russia and China have absolutely zero intention to disarm. And nor does the US even under the democrats. France too given that part of its doctrine is the warning shot
Jeremiah Savant1One thing always puzzled me: USA actually used The Bomb on a country about to capitulate... and we're supposed to TRUST the USA?
steve-krikler.bsky.social1We need a nuclear-free world, but with Putin and Trump in charge of the two biggest nuclear arsenals, it is hard to see how we get there.
Roy Williams1In a few decades our complex civilisation will collapse. My hope it that it can do so without spreading radioactivity. That will allow hunting and gathering.

Seeadler3When one state had two Hirohima-sized bombs, it used them. When 9 states have the equivalent of 145,000, they go unused. We have not uninvented nuclear weapons, but we have done the next-best thing; we have made their use so undesirable as to be unthinkable.
