The Iran War Makes Clear That Nuclear Policy Must Change - Back from the Brink The coordinated U.S.–Israel strike that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader and senior officials, followed by Iran’s rapid multi‑front retaliation, has triggered one of the fastest‑moving regional crises in ...

Nuclear weapons haven’t changed, but the system around them has—and it now amplifies the risk of nuclear escalation, nuclear war, and renewed nuclear proliferation as states conclude they are increasingly exposed in a world without guardrails.

Doomsday Clock 2026: Scientists set new time | CNN The new Doomsday Clock time has been set by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Here’s what it means.

With the Doomsday Clock at 89 seconds to midnight, the nuclear risk is real. As a cosponsor of H.Res.317, I believe Congress must restore arms control, rebuild diplomacy, and show visionary leadership. We need a world free of nuclear weapons.

Back from the Brink on Instagram: "🚨President Trump said the U.S. would resume nuclear testing. This is a horrible, dangerous, costly idea. Watch BftB's Danny Hall @danny_hall9 , our Lead Capitol H... Nuclear testing is a global threat, and the US shouldn't be the one to start a new arms race. Join Danny Hall as he breaks down the facts and urges Congress to take action on nuclear disarmament.

A push to restart U.S. nuclear testing is built on misinformation.

No country except North Korea has exploded a nuclear bomb in nearly 30 years.

Testing again risks a global arms race and harms already‑impacted communities.

Never again.

A House of Dynamite | Nuclear Disarmament Campaigner Reacts (Spoiler Alert) YouTube video by Back from the Brink

Watch my reaction. Let’s talk about what comes next.

“We Will Not Be Quiet.”

The same budget that funds nuclear weapons is shutting down hospitals and cutting SNAP.

This is policy violence—and a moral crisis.

Japanese American groups blast use of Fort Bliss, former internment camp site, as ICE detention center “The use of national security rhetoric to justify mass incarceration today echoes the same logic that led to their forced removal and incarceration,” one advocate said.

Japanese American groups see echos of dark era of Japanese internment -- the Trump administration is even reusing some of the same camp sites for ICE detention centers:

Our New Mexico hub brought over 200 people together to pray and work toward a world without nuclear weapons.

📬 Powerful voices, united for peace.

This morning, Back from the Brink hand-delivered 100 letters to Congressional offices, urging members to co-sponsor H.Res.317—a call to prioritize nuclear disarmament diplomacy & pursue a world without nuclear weapons.

Their message: the time to act is now.

Peace won't be secured through war. It's time to get serious about nuclear disarmament.

Thanks @afsc-org.Bsky.social for calling on reps to sign H.Res 317, and step us back from the brink of nuclear war.

Honored to have my LTE published in today’s Washington Post. I unpack why U.S. strikes on Iran’s safeguarded nuclear sites don’t strengthen nonproliferation—they undermine it. Time to reclaim diplomacy, international law, and serious engagement.
