Nuclear Situational Updates from the Decom Working Group

Each week we are honored to join the Decommissioning Working Group, a community of sister and brother activists from various organizations in a Zoom meeting in which information about nuclear-related developments are shared in a sweep across the country for on-the-ground reports.

Just a brief summary of our notes from today’s DWG Zoom confab gives a synoptic nuclear situational awareness view of what can be described as an ongoing nuclear complex coup.

Introduction 

This post focuses on examples of Trump’s inflated self-image as a president who sees himself as being above the law, his implausible notion of making manufacturing in the U.S. a dominating global force, and how, as one example, his policies harm the poor.
