Since Trump’s revolting treatment of Zelensky, I’ve seen people taking to the streets in London, LA, NYC and Vermont. This particular protest was held at the American consulate in Krakow, Poland.
Powerful sign, to say the least…

Dat was ik zojuist, met headphones op m’n knar, luisterend naar Rijnmond Sport, juichend op een verlaten treinstation in Katonah, NY, terwijl Feyenoord, pakweg 5000 km verderop, het grote Bayern Munchen met 3-0 naar huis stuurde❤️
