What’s Wrong With Nuclear Weaponry and Energy

To Nuke or Not To Nuke?

Is It An Inalienable Human Right to Self-Destruct and Take Others With You?

Are a few decades of electric power really worth future millennia of radioactive waste deadly to all living things?

Nuclear Logic

  • Atomic reactors were originally developed to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons. Using the heat of their operation to produce steam pressure to drive turbines to generate electric power was a convenient cover story necessary to overcome people’s fear and repugnance against using nuclear weapons after the horror of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

  • Since nuclear reactors’ inception, over 50 years of repeated official promises to ban nuclear weapons have never been honored.

  • Every nuclear power reactor in every nuclear nation, and the accumulated radioactive spent fuel from its operation, is a potential nuclear weapon-in-place for saboteurs and terrorists.

  • Uranium mining, milling, enriching, fuel fabrication and nuclear reactors are also the industrial foundation for nuclear weapons production.

Start a Lasting Peace in Ukraine Now

We are heartened to learn that the U.S. government is communicating with the Russian government, and are only sorry that such a basic step seemingly required a presidential election, when a glance at the Doomsday Clock ought to have been sufficient.

Trump’s Gaza Plan: A Green Light for Ethnic Cleansing?

Let's be clear: the forced displacement of Palestinians is not a new idea. US President Donald Trump's latest proposal to take “long-term ownership” of Gaza, to “clean out” the “mess”, and to turn it into a “Riviera of the Middle East” is just the latest iteration of efforts aimed at ethnically cleansing Palestinians from their homeland.

 What makes Trump’s comments dangerous is not the immediate threat of US military intervention in Gaza followed by the expulsion of its 2.2 million residents. The real danger lies elsewhere. 

 First, Israel may interpret Trump’s words as a green light to push Palestinians out of Gaza or the West Bank. Second, the US could tacitly endorse another Israeli offensive under the guise of fulfilling the president’s wishes. Third, Trump’s remarks suggest his foreign policy on Palestine will remain largely unchanged from his predecessor’s.

From Doctors Against Genocide:  Urgent Support Needed for Senate Resolution Against U.S. Military Intervention & Forced Displacement in Gaza, Restore UNRWA Funding and Protection of Healthcare

As concerned citizens, we urge our elected officials to protect international laws.  

1. Support for S.Res. 68, a Senate resolution which says the U.S. should not occupy Gaza and displace its residents.  

2. Support for Welch's S.5388 bill asking to restore UNRWA funding. UNRWA is an essential UN program built to support Palestinians in refugee camps as they work for their right to return to the land they were ethnically cleansed from in the Nakba.

3. Demanding full protection for healthcare workers and Institutions everywhere, ensuring they can provide lifesaving care without fear of attack, detention, or persecution.  

‘A sad state of affairs:’ Ohio Fairness Act introduced for the 12th time, despite waning bipartisan support for LGBTQ+ civil rights

Ohio Senate Minority Leader and out lesbian Sen. Nickie Antonio (D-Lakewood) has re-introduced the Ohio Fairness Act for the 12th time, despite waning support among Republican lawmakers.

The Fairness Act – which would extend equal civil rights protections to LGBTQ+ Ohioans – was formerly a bipartisan bill. 

However, Antonio said the Trump administration’s focus on anti-transgender policy and rhetoric has helped set an increasingly anti-LGBTQ+ precedent at the Ohio Statehouse.

“We should already have equal rights in the state of Ohio, so it’s important to introduce legislation that calls for that,” Antonio said. “People from the LGBTQ+ community should already receive equal treatment under the law – and that means in employment, in housing and when traversing the public sphere.”

Blue states hope their clean energy plans withstand collision with Trump

For states that are pursuing plans to build more wind and solar projects, the federal government has suddenly shifted from a powerful ally to a formidable opponent.

State leaders are still scrambling to make sense of President Donald Trump’s flurry of executive orders, funding freezes, agency directives and verbal threats about clean energy. It’s as if the teammate who had passed them the ball is now trying to block their shot.

50501 Movement: A National Call for Justice, Integrity, and Accountability

Logo

The 50501 Movement is a coalition demanding justice, transparency, accountability, and an end to executive overreach. Despite being seen as leaderless, every individual, state, city, grassroots organization, and activist are leaders in this movement. Together, they guide us toward a future based on foundational principles. On February 5th we help mobilize over 20,000 like-minded individuals, activists, and organizations to stand against the harmful impacts of the current administration and Project 2025. 

In truth, the 50501 Movement does not refer to an organization—it represents a vision, the American Dream, as we were all once taught to believe it. Each voice of this movement, peacefully united, forms a rallying cry and demand for the "American Dream" that we once all held close to our heart. A dream that we feel has prove 

 This is not just a movement—it is our modern-day civil rights struggle.
