Today marks the 80th anniversary of the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima killing 140,000 people. Today we can best honor the victims of that bombing and the Hibakusha by working together to guarantee a future free of nuclear weapons. Join the effort @backfrombrink.bsky.social

80 years ago today, families in Hiroshima were having a meal together, tucking children into bed, taking the dog for a walk…the next day the U.S. dropped a 15 KT atomic bomb on their city. May such horror NEVER be witnessed again. #80DaysofAction @backfrombrink.bsky.social

The myth of deterrence is greatest driver of our current nuclear arms race. EVERYONE and THING we care about is threatened by their very existence. This video demonstrates the size of the current global arsenals.

In March 2025, there were 99,130 Hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors) alive, average age 86.13 years. We owe them, and those victims who perished, a world free of nuclear weapons to guarantee that it can never happen again. Help make that a reality @backfrombrink.bsky.social

A nuclear war between the US and Russia is estimated to kill 360 million outright & >5 billion would die from crop loss starvation due to the release of 150 Tg (Teragrams=million metric tons) of soot into the upper atmosphere. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Nobody likes to think about nuclear war, but you can’t ignore the elephant in the room if that elephant can cause the end of civilization. BTW…elephants are 100% for nuclear abolition!

Nuclear deterrence is a myth and ultimately the greatest driver of the arms race. The only way I can deter my opponent/adversary/enemy is by having more or better weapons and so is our march to nuclear madness. We must abolish these weapons. Join us

A “limited” regional nuclear war between India and Pakistan using 100 Hiroshima size bombs (<1% of global arsenals) would kill ~2 billion people globally from famine due to climate change and subsequent international crop failures. psr.org/wp-content/u...

There is NO adequate medical or humanitarian response to a nuclear war. We must prevent it by abolishing ALL of these weapons.

With these weapons ultimately we could end all of life. That threat remains with us to this day, unless we abolish these weapons.

According to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, it’s 89 seconds till midnight and the end of life as we know it. We must eliminate nuclear weapons before they eliminate us.
