"Raul Grijalva was a happy warrior on behalf of people and the planet. In his incredible career, he advanced the causes of environmental justice, public education, and civil rights more than seemed possible. He will be sorely missed."

“It is us, as the scientific community, who now have the chance to lead, to be brave, and to do everything in our power to insist on an administration and a world that uses science for good.” UCS President @gretchentg.bsky.social summarizes a busy week of action for scientists & science supporters.

Yesterday the NNSA held a hearing on the future of Los Alamos National Lab, where the government plans to resume bulk production of plutonium pits for use in new nuclear weapons for the 1st time since the end of the Cold War. The hearing got a little rowdy: www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...
Critics at hearing speak out against expansion plan, pit production at LANL
A public hearing Tuesday in Santa Fe is one of several opportunities for people to weigh in on a draft environmental assessment.

New Mexicans are out in force to oppose plutonium pit production at Los Alamos. UCS agrees- it’s unnecessary, endangers workers and the public, and confirms US failure to move away from a reliance on nuclear deterence. I provided commentary and encourage others to do the same.

An important opportunity to weigh in on a key process. Los Alamos is seeking to become a production site, making significant quantities of plutonium pits for use in new nuclear weapons, something the US has not done for decades - and doesn't need to do now. Raise your voice against a new arms race!
Hi Bluesky community! We're happy to be on here & share that we're hosting a workshop this Thurs, 2/6 at 5:30pm MT on the Los Alamos Lab Site-Wide EIS to engage the public in the review process of the Site-Wide Environmental Impact Statement (SWEIS) for #LANL - see more nukewatch.org/action-item/...

Trump has claimed that he will bring China to the arms control table in the past. Read my eminent colleague @gkucs.bsky.social on what it would take to actually make that happen:
If President Trump really wants nuclear arms control talks with China, he should consider the following advice, offered five years ago.
China is Willing to Negotiate on Nuclear Arms, But Not on Trump’s Terms
Here are four steps that might bring Beijing to the table.

As she writes, "Given serious concerns about his qualifications, dangerous beliefs & values, & lack of meaningful track record, Hegseth is a poor choice..the US deserves someone with the experience, expertise, and judgment to deal with them wisely."

A lack of common courtesy is just one more indication of why Hegseth is a poor choice for secretary of defense. My colleague @lauraegrego.bsky.social makes a much broader case for why the Senate should reject his nomination here: blog.ucsusa.org/lgrego/congr...
Congress Needs to Ask Pete Hegseth Tough Questions
The new secretary of defense must face a number of challenges with experience, a steady hand, and a willingness to listen before making decisions. Pete Hegseth falls short.

Today the Senate Armed Services Committee held a quite disturbing confirmation hearing on the nomination of Pete Hegseth to be secretary of defense. Hegseth refused to meet with Democratic senators on the committee before the hearing, a breach of long-held protocol, but is sadly not surprising.

This kind of flew under the radar last year but as a reminder, Nobel Laureates put out the Mainau Declaration warning the world about the continuing danger that nuclear weapons STILL present. This should be on our radars. ⚛️🧪
