I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
@AnnCoulter Amazed at the MAGA peer pressure to only absorb MAGA magnified messaging. And they call me a communist because of their limited vocabulary.

The South African trust-fund billionaire wockaflocka brought in to gut our country's infrastructure, whose cuts to aid have already killed a half-million children, is now offering $100-million to make an all-white remake of a movie. This is all totally normal and whatnot.
‘Who the hell does the President think he is?!”
Whilst not Prince Harry’s biggest fan, @TomSwarbrick1 backs him ‘any day of the week’ to ‘speak for the UK’ over Donald Trump.
I'm excited to announce today that the National Quantum Algorithm Center at the IQMP has chosen five recipients for its Grand Challenges Program.
We're supporting researchers working on game-changing quantum applications and fostering collaboration between academia and industry.
Prince Harry:
I'm not here [in Kyiv] as a politician. I'm here as a soldier who understands service. As a humanitarian who has seen the human cost of conflict. And as a friend of Ukraine who believes the world must not grow used to this war or numb to its consequences.
Because what is happening here is not simply a war about territory. It is a war about values. About sovereignty. About whether the principles that underpin our shared democracy shall hold meaning.
On Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, we remember the 1.5 million Armenians killed 111 years ago in a horrific genocide.
I was proud to be Speaker when Congress formally recognized the Armenian Genocide. And it was my honor to lead a Congressional delegation to visit the Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial and pay respects to the men, women and children who were murdered.
By affirming the history of this tragedy, we work to make sure such horror can never again happen.
I offer my support to those who advocate for the abolition of the death penalty in the United States of America and around the world. I pray that your efforts will lead to a greater acknowledgement of the dignity of every person, and will inspire others to work for the same just cause.
