36 years ago today, the Berlin Wall fell - freedom and unity triumphed! Standing at that historic site a few years ago reminded me of the incredible resilience of the human spirit and our shared longing for hope. May walls continue to fall. 🕊️ #BerlinWall #Unity #Freedom

I don’t know who took this photo, but it speaks volumes about today’s challenges in the US. Leadership is more than power - it’s compassion, presence, and humanity. A nation deserves leaders who care as much for the people beside them as the office they hold. 🇺🇸💔

Yesterday showed that hope is alive! 🇺🇸 When people engage, change happens. Dear American friends, keep working for a future where leaders are accountable, truth matters, and America finds its way back to dignity and normalcy again.
