Because of the pandemic, virtual statements replaced our planned arrests protesting continued design of nuclear weapons at Livermore Lab 75 years after Hiroshima. It's all worth watching- mine starts at 1:09:40. piped.video/watch?v=x6fsQbWT…

I’m proud of my granddaughter Catherine Ellsberg for her powerful essay on the conscience and moral responsibility of officials who collaborate with evil policies.

Discussing the role of the arms industry in nuclear weapons policy, @DanielEllsberg says that the Cold War was "in large part, a marketing campaign for vast annual subsidies to the aerospace industry". US spending on nukes is even higher now
