New Mexico doesn’t want it, either! We were barely added to the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act in summer 2025!

The president has ordered the “Department of War” to immediately resume nuclear testing. Here’s a thread on what you need to know (1/n)

The current plan is unnecessary, expensive, and risky and there are many alternatives that could increase safety

A House of Dynamite Gets It Right—But Here’s the Full Picture The Pentagon is wrong to attack the movie for being inaccurate. We cannot rely on missile defense systems to protect us from nuclear destruction.

My @ucs.org colleague Dr. Laura Grego explains why the Pentagon's _claim_ that a A House of Dynamite is wrong about the effectiveness the anti-missile system that supposedly defends the US against long-range nuclear attack is a load of hooey. The system, as the movie says, is a coin-flip at best.

Trump directs Pentagon to test nuclear weapons for first time since 1992 — The Washington Post The president said he wanted testing to occur “on an equal basis” with Russia and China, just before he met his Chinese counterpart for high-stakes trade talks.

Last night I discussed the potential for the U.S. to resume nuclear testing at a public event only to wake up to this headline…

The rain falls in Española today. Tritium venting is temporarily suspended. This is a blessing twice over. Happy to be with community today!

While a group of us will be gathered in Española to discuss cultural traditions on Saturday at NNMC, #LANL will be venting tritium. (1/2)

- Stay indoors as much as possible during the venting period
- Keep windows and doors closed
- Delay rainwater collection and harvesting gardens or fields until after the venting period
- Limit outdoor activity for children, elders, pregnant people, and those with health conditions

Sep. 2: Public Meeting of the NM Legislature’s Interim Radioactive & Hazardous Materials Committee at the University of New Mexico, Student Support and Services Center, 1155 University Blvd. SE, in Albuquerque. More details are available at www.nmlegis.gov/Committee/In...

Over 100 people online but none allowed to give oral comments during the 2-hour mtg. regarding radioactive tritium venting at LANL on Wednesday night. They didn’t want public comments; they wanted “technical questions” but rely on local NGO’s to translate the tech-speak for frontline communities.

In this powerful essay Beata Tsosie-Peña reflects on the experience of being a Native woman living adjacent to a nuclear weapons facility, and calls us into urgent action to protect our land, air, foods, and waters. #NewMexico #Pueblo tewawomenunited.org/2025/07/a-te...

A just future is one without nuclear weapons – where land, water, and life are protected, and the oppressive systems fueling violence, extraction, and ongoing harm are dismantled.

Reactor radiation harms: Trump's EO will make this worse - Beyond Nuclear It’s time to set the record straight on radiation and the damage it causes, particularly to pregnancy, children and women. Contrary to what Trump’s recent EO

Contrary to what Trump’s recent Executive Order claims, scientific evidence demonstrates many harms from radiation exposure, especially to children, women, pregnancy, and under resourced communities.
