Here's my story: Former State Dept official @AnnelleSheline told me the move "reflects a doubling down on the administration’s determination to continue to provide unconditional material support for Israel’s genocidal campaign against civilians in Gaza." huffpost.com/entry/joe-bide…


Went on the Vets for Peace podcast to talk Freeze! and our contemporary nuclear dangers. @VFPNational Thanks for having me on Jim and Harvey! soundcloud.com/user-55976759/…

This quote, from the @nytimes review of the OPPENHEIMER film: "He served as director of a clandestine weapons lab built in a near-desolate stretch of Los Alamos, in New Mexico"... It was inhabited by Hispanos. They were given less than 24 hr to leave. Their farms bulldozed. 1


The program for the Peace History Society annual conference is now out. I’m chairing a session and presenting a paper on the MX Missile controversy. The whole conference looks outstanding. Join us! peacehistorysociety.org/phs2023/progra…

My dear old friend @VladislavZubok1 and I have a new piece in @ForeignAffairs on the Cuban Missile Crisis, everyone's favourite subject, which you will want to read because it literally has new stuff we did not know about (what, still?): foreignaffairs.com/cuba/missile-c….

Going to #OAH23? Check out "Mourning in America: Fighting for Justice in the Age Reagan" @ 2:45 Thursday. Fantastic papers from Emily Hobson on political prisoners' AIDS activism and @mfkantor on DARE. I'll be talking about the Sanctuary movement. Happy to have @murchnik chair.
