This is what the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had to do, although the distance may have been far different.

Darrell Issa announces he will not run for reelection, the 34th Republican to do so. The rats are leaving the sinking ship. 🐀
Joining MSNOW at 7 pm ET to talk the war and other things.
Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.
@barackobama.bsky.social: "It may be tempting to get discouraged, to give in to cynicism...But this man—Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson—inspires us to take the harder path...to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say 'Send me.'” barackobama.medium.com/my-remarks-a...
They're playing a lot of George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelic at the Suns game, tonight.
A classic black-and-white photograph of Geraldyn “Jerrie” Cobb, pioneering American aviator and astronaut candidate, seated in the cockpit of a high-performance jet aircraft during the early 1960s. She wears a flight helmet with visor, oxygen mask connected to a hose, and flight suit with patches. Her expression is calm, focused, and determined as she looks upward slightly toward the sky, evoking her role as the first woman to pass the same astronaut screening tests as NASA's Mercury Seven men and her status as the top contender in the Mercury 13 program. The image captures her courage, skill, and groundbreaking ambition in an era when women were excluded from spaceflight due to gender bias.
Jerrie Cobb should have been the first woman in #space. 🚀
Due to gender bias, she wasn't.
Part of the Mercury 13 (women), she passed the same tests as the Mercury Seven astronauts (men), often ranking in the top 2% (including compared to the men). She was born #OTD in 1931.

Close-up portrait of Setsuko Thurlow (born 1932), Japanese-Canadian atomic bomb survivor, taken in 2017 during an event. The older woman is shown in three-quarter view facing slightly left with a warm, gentle smile conveying joy, wisdom, and quiet resilience. She has short, neatly styled dark hair with soft curls, and red lipstick accentuating her open-mouthed smile or speech. She wears a red top or blouse partially visible under a gray blazer or jacket, and a small red pin or brooch on the lapel. The background is softly blurred with hints of purple fabric and another person nearby, suggesting an indoor gathering or conference setting. Her expression radiates hope and compassion, reflecting her lifelong advocacy for nuclear disarmament and peace.
Setsuko Thurlow survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 Aug 1945. She's a nuclear disarmament campaigner known throughout the world for being a leading figure of the International Campaign to Abolish #Nuclear weapons (ICAN). #WHM

The fishing of krill is putting marine wildlife at risk.❗
To protect this fragile ecosystem, the fishery needs to be paused until stronger management and safeguards are in place.

A six-year-old girl was fatally shot in the head while left unattended in a car in Michigan. Four other children under the age of 12 were in the car with her.
No child should ever have access to an unsecured gun. This never should have happened.
It is an important point.
Your post made me think of the ways voter suppression manifests and we should not judge those impacted by it.
The work to get people engaged is important.
My good friend initially rejected voting as an expression of his struggle against a system mired in racism. Fortunately for me, he became an extraordinary organizer who worked to increase African American participation in the ballot box.
Anti voting mythology is devious.
So few Americans realize that the political apathy conversation is directly related to the voter suppression conversation, which is directly related to the structural anti-Blackness question. So instead we just go, "Why don't THOSE dummies vote?!?".
Except for the concentration camps...
Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.
And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?
This is incompetence. Plain and simple.
Black-and-white formal portrait of Alva Myrdal (1902–1986), the Swedish diplomat, sociologist, politician, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She is photographed against a dark background, resting her chin thoughtfully on her left hand, which displays a large, ornate ring. Her expression is calm, wise, and slightly introspective, with deep-set eyes, fine lines of age, and a gentle smile. Her silver-gray hair is styled in a soft, voluminous updo typical of the mid-20th century, and she wears a dark tailored jacket or dress with a simple collar, along with a distinctive metal wristwatch on her left arm. Alva Myrdal was a pioneering figure in social policy, women's rights, and international disarmament. With her husband Gunnar Myrdal, she co-authored the influential 1934 book Kris i befolkningsfrågan (Crisis in the Population Question), which shaped Sweden's progressive family and welfare policies. She served as Sweden's Minister for Disarmament and Church Affairs (1966–1973), headed UNESCO's social science department, and played a key role in the United Nations. In 1982, she shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Alfonso García Robles for her lifelong work on nuclear disarmament and peace advocacy through organizations like the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and Pugwash Conferences. Known for her intellectual rigor, feminist principles, and commitment to global justice, she remains an icon of principled leadership in diplomacy and social reform.#AlvaMyrdal #NobelPeacePrize #Disarmament #SIPRI
Alva Myrdal was a Swedish sociologist, diplomat & a prominent leader of the disarmament movement. She shared the #Nobel Peace Prize in 1982 (w/A. Robles) "for their work for disarmament & nuclear and weapon-free zones." #WHM

Congress needs to act NOW to rein in Trump’s warmongering.
I fully support @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution.
The team hopes enough chicks will survive this year to bring the world Kākāpō population to 300—a major milestone for a species that was teetering with just 51 individuals in 1995.

every R US Senator but Rand Paul owns this war, failed to uphold the Constitution and needs to get booted out.

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important.
Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen.
also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.
