I’d never seen a man
bigger than a tank
until now
Look at this image of Dr. Hossam Abu Safia approaching the cowards hiding in the tanks; it is hard to believe. Where else would one see something like this?

- Replying to @foundinsunshine and @nytopinionI’m so proud of that job! I did it because folks studying global education dev. alongside me at @Columbia didn’t seem to think experience *in the classroom* was all that important. I felt I needed to know what it was like to be on the ground to make any positive difference.
- Getting three Master's degrees, including an MA in education from Columbia University, where they did their dissertation on nuclear disarmament education and spent a year teaching kids in the field, is apparently not qualification enough, but yapping on Twitter all day is
- Replying to @herbizidThis is a man who’s spent months showing the world what the occupation was doing to hospitals, pleading with it to protect patients and healthcare infrastructure, whose 8 year old son was murdered by the IOF. It should not have come to this photo. Ever.
- Replying to @foundinsunshine and @nytopinionYes… and? 😉 While my nuclear disarmament involvement preceded my education & development work, I am so proud to have worked in the classroom. It was never my end goal but I knew classroom experience would be valuable. I hope anyone who’s ever taught feels the same!
GIF - But nuclear weapons deter attacks so this must be fake news, right? Either that, or nuclear deterrence is exposed for what it is: an abstract theory that’s touted to justify clinging onto weapons of mass murder. Nukes are a scam. Pass it on.Air raid sirens heard and explosions seen in sky over Jerusalem as Iran launches drone and missile attack on Israel - bbc.in/4aTNMRc
- Big thanks to @nytopinion for platforming (just a glimpse!) of the incredible disarmament work being done around the world! And for giving a shockingly high number of people a convenient place to admit they’ve never seen a ring light before 🤭“A world without nuclear weapons is totally possible,” says @Emma_Pike_, a nuclear disarmament consultant and activist. She shared her thoughts with Times Opinion on TikTok: nyti.ms/49buYeZ
00:00 - To folks claiming that nuclear weapons are *only* for deterring nuclear attacks, then turning around and saying oh wait actually nukes are for preventing conventional warfare, which is it? Never mind that nobody seems to have a solution for when deterrence theory fails.
- Replying to @nevervoteforjoe @foundinsunshine and 2 othersNope, my involvement in nuclear disarmament preceded my work in education & international development :)
- Replying to @nevervoteforjoe @foundinsunshine and 2 othersI never studied elementary education! Or any kind of teaching haha. It was just an apprenticeship I took for a year (and some change) to get experience inside a classroom because I had absolutely zero idea what that was like. Learned a LOT.
- You heard him boys, keep up the good work! And cheers for the support, @nuclearban and I thank you 😉All the unexcusable misogynist, sexist, and offensive stuff in the comments shouldn't hide the fact that @Emma_Pike_ has explained the idea of the #nuclearban to 8.7 Mio viewers within a few days. Thanks for all your support, fellas - keep retweeting!
- Scrolling through the condescending, sexist, and batshit crazy comments to @Emma_Pike_’s appeal for nuclear disarmament is depressing but not surprising considering the political climate and riffraff on social media. Hang in there Emma and remember: “When they go low…” 👏💪🏻
- 1/ Ever noticed how most images we see of nuclear weapons are of missiles, mushroom clouds, and low-key dictators? Here’s exactly how visuals shape the way we think about nuclear weapons, and how they tell a story that just isn’t true 👇 #nuclearweapons #media #photojournalism
