If we want to strengthen nuclear disarmament, we should listen to those who have lived through precedent times of nuclear tests & bombings. Their stories should be enough to remind us to not take nuclear threats lightly. Thanks to @francoisdm.bsky.social & @thebulletin.org for publishing our piece

On this day in 1945—August 6—the US dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. 81 years later, as nuclear risks escalate globally, public debate remains dangerously disconnected from human reality. 🧵1/👇

A imagem é um card institucional sobre as Olimpíadas de Inverno, com predominância de tons azuis que remetem ao gelo e à neve. No topo, lê-se “OLIMPÍADAS DE INVERNO” e, em destaque central, a frase “O BRASIL É OURO”, com a palavra “OURO” em letras grandes douradas. À direita, aparece a ilustração de uma medalha olímpica de ouro com fita vermelha.

No centro do card, há a fotografia de um atleta brasileiro praticando esqui alpino em alta velocidade na neve, vestindo uniforme branco com detalhes em azul e verde, óculos de proteção e o número 1 no peito. Na parte inferior da imagem, está o nome “Lucas Pinheiro” e a modalidade “Esqui alpino”.
