@EmmanuelMacron I hope that this will be an opportunity for Europe to finally stand up as a powerful force against Trump’s agenda.

@ZelenskyyUa @POTUS It was incredibly important that you spoke the truth in front of the cameras st the Oval Office and stood up for your values. You are the one of his owed respect for the incredible resistance you have shown to Putin’s savage war. It was disgrace to see how you were treated.

BREAKING | Danish police arrest 20 at a protest outside Maersk’s Copenhagen headquarters, where demonstrators, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, are calling for the company to halt shipments of military equipment to Israel. Police used batons and tear gas to disperse the crowd.

“We are here to demand that Maersk must stop all the transportation of weapons and weapon components to Israel,” Thunberg said in a video. “They must terminate all contract and investment that supports the genocide and occupation of Palestine.”

Maersk denied the cargo contained weapons, stating it consisted of military-related equipment in line with US-Israeli security agreements.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.

America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings.
We outnumber the oligarchs.
And they can be overwhelmed.

.@SenatorAndyKim at USAID: "I talked to the security guard just in there. He said he has been given specific orders to prevent employees of USAID from entering the building today. I just find that to be absolutely ridiculous. This is no way to govern."

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Elon Musk does not have the power to dismantle USAID.

The idea that a billionaire can wake up one day and decide to end life-saving international aid programs is undemocratic and outright dangerous.

[Kai Krienke, Ph.D. @kai_krienke]

No, we can’t let these thugs shut down USAID @usaidgh
