For the past few weeks, we have been unveiling a series of stories that invite us to think differently about nuclear weapons - and break through our nuclear apathy. Today, we complete the series. 🧵
The first story, Madison Hissom's "Paddlefish," sets up a world where nuclear use becomes un-extraordinary and describes what it would look like to grow up in such a world.

The second story, Austin Mullen's "Five Twenty-Nine AM," takes us to the moments after a nuclear explosion, following a family in the confusion and anxiety of the immediate aftermath.

Today, we share the third and final story, @markdjacobsen's "Destroyer of Worlds," which presents us with a different kind of nuclear explosion to explore the difficulty of nuclear activism and the political aftermath.

Last month, the Adults in a Room asked how #Congress can reclaim its oversight power when it comes to US foreign policy.
"Accountability, on the other hand, requires #Congress to effectively use its bully pulpit to expose wrongdoing and to have the tenacity to hold agency officials accountable." -

@StrausReform "Today, there is a young cadre in the House and Senate, including a number of Iraq and Afghanistan war vets, who are willing to ask hard questions. We should celebrate such efforts, and, in general, encourage Congress to be more proactive." -

“What do you do with the mad that you feel?”

Mr. Rogers had a unique wholesomeness in America that shaped generations.

Still, hope comes when we see the kindness people have shown, the virtual connections people have forged, the care they’ve offered to workers on the front lines.

As Rogers was fond of saying, “look to the helpers.”
