If you had a protest yesterday that you want to acknowledge, please let me know in the comments below and I will add them to the ongoing thread of #HandsOff locations.

There were so many, it's a bit hard to keep track of them all, but I don't want to leave anyone out who wants to be heard!

Trump: “We are talking to Russia. We would like them to stop. I don’t like the ongoing bombings. They go on endlessly, and every week, thousands of young people are dying.”

Instead of endlessly talking, he could have put real pressure on Putin but he hasn’t. He’s allowed this.

"America surrendered, capitulated, chickened out thanks to our Sarmatmobiles!"

Russian MP Fedorov said that the US capitulated because he gathered people and organized rallies with "On Washington Sarmatmobiles."

Meloni campaigns for Article 5 security guarantees for Ukraine.

Seconded 🙋🏼‍♀️

Wish she would think again on the money though a yes vote would have been impactful as well. I hope there’s a re-think

First they came for the defense companies, but I did not speak up as I was a pacifist american.
Then they came for banking and IT but I worked in construction.
Then there was a crashed dollar and not so great America.

The Netherlands seems to be ahead of most European countries in drawing the logical consequences from the fact that America is no longer a trustworthy ally. Beyond defence, the Dutch colleagues are already discussing decoupling relating to financial payment systems and to software dependencies.
