Today Gen. Guetlein, head of Trump's infeasible, wildy expensive Golden Dome anti-missile program, said this: "If boost phase intercept from space is not affordable and scalable, we will not produce it because we have other options to get after it.” armedservices.house.gov/calendar/eve...
The U.S. is spending $261,092 EVERY MINUTE on NUKES! He-who-shall-not-be-named (POTUS) has the sole authority to launch a nuke. We must ABOLISH nukes for good, for survival, for all of us living now and for future generations. @backfrombrink.bsky.social #peace www.commondreams.org/opinion/taxe...

How much tax money is being used on nukes?
Americans are paying more than 137 BILLION.
Every April, Dr. Bob Dodge calculates the full cost of all nuclear weapons programs to our communities.

Shout out to @daniel-hall9.bsky.social for his work in coordinating this day of action on Capitol Hill!
A very important reminder that the threat posed by nuclear weapons is also a local issue.

Earlier this week, Back from the Brink advocates stopped by Capitol Hill to drop off a letter signed by over 250 local and state elected officials from around the country urging leadership and bold action from Congress to reduce nuclear risks.
Read our letter:

Yesterday we signed on to @amnesty.org's statement in response to President Trump's ongoing threats against Iran.
"The law is clear that civilians must not be targeted, and they must also be protected from indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks."
Read more of the statement here:
A frightening reality check:
"When Donald Trump says he'll end a civilization to get what he wants, he's not just talking. As president he would have the sole authority to launch a nuclear weapon and make that happen."
Just one person, can make a decision to kill millions instantly.
Enough. Congress needs to act NOW.
Over 250 local and state elected officials across the US released a letter today to members of the U.S. Congress urging action to reduce nuclear risks.
Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee. LA City CM Nithya Raman. And others

We're reminiscing on the day 17 years ago in Prague when President Obama called for the elimination of nuclear weapons.
We need US and global leaders to uphold this call and reverse the escalating nuclear arms race.
It's time for peace and security. It's time for a world without nuclear weapons.
“At 2024 Summit, Presidents Biden & Xi agreed that AI should never replace human decision-making in authorizing the use of nuclear weapon…but there is no formal agreement in place among any of the nine nuclear powers to codify this policy.”

Nuclear weapons are a local issue.
We're proud of our Georgia activists who organized “Paddle and Boogie to Stop the Bomb,” an event at a local park to oppose the production of nuclear weapons and their harm to the environment amid the Iran war.
Watch here: www.wrdw.com/2026/03/28/p...
On the Mall, Dr. Ira Hefland says the new study coming from the @backfrombrink.bsky.social shows that even with a Golden Dome that was 80% effective, 75 million Americans would die in a nuclear attack from Russia or China. upinarms.life/golden-dome/
Over the weekend, members of TX PSR joined #nokings rallies across the state. In Austin, we joined with Texans Ending Nuclear Dangers to promote the anti-nuclear work we are engaging in. @backfrombrink.bsky.social @psr.org
No Kings. No Nukes.
On Saturday March 28, our activists showed up across the country from LA to Sacramento, from Massachusetts to Hawaii, to demand democratic checks on nuclear weapons launch authority, and to stand in solidarity with all movements resisting domination and fear.
New reporting from me on the recent substantial growth in nuclear-weapons-related spending in the Berkshires. www.reasongonemad.com/welcome-to-t...
Tomorrow we’ll show up — united, peaceful, and powerful — with a rally cry of “No Kings, No Nukes.”
We can’t separate the danger of nuclear weapons from the way power is wielded in this country.
Tag us and share pictures from your rally tomorrow.
Peace is possible.
Thank you Joe Wasserman and West Hartford Community Interactive for speaking with BftB's Danny Hall about our campaign and our strategy to remove nuclear weapons from our world in order to create safer and more peaceful communities.

Nuclear weapons are a local issue.
This report about the acceleration of nuclear weapons-related spending in the Berkshires area of Massachusetts features a few BftB activists.

“This is not just a regional crisis. It is a stress test of the nuclear system itself — and the system is failing.”
Our Danny Hall breaks down why the Iran crisis exposes the inherent failure of deterrence.

With the Iran war and nukes in the news, now is a good time to check out our Beginner’s Guide to Nuclear Weapons.
We expose the risks, myths, and real-life impacts of nuclear weapons. We also explain how anyone can play a part in building a safer world.

This is the energy we're bringing to the No Kings rallies on Saturday.
No kings. No nukes.
We'll see you there.
My amazing @scovillepf.bsky.social @seantmanning.bsky.social has a new @ucs.org piece on what he appropriately calls Trump's "Bloody New Deal," i.e., his proposal to dump $1.5 trillion into military spending, a massive 66% increase. See: blog.ucs.org/sean-manning...
The cost to humanity is simply too high.
Join our movement to prevent the growing threat that nuclear weapons pose to our health, environment and all we hold dear.
