A landmark treaty that reshaped Europe after the second World War, protecting millions of Europeans and supporting our shared values of human rights, democracy and rule of law.

Because human rights aren’t optional. They’re universal.

A list of fundamental human rights on a light, textured background. The text reads: "Right to life. Prohibition of torture. Prohibition of slavery and forced labour. Right to liberty and security. Right to a fair trial. No punishment without law. Right to respect for private and family life. Freedom of thought, conscience and religion. Freedom of expression. Freedom of assembly and association. Right to marry. Right to an effective remedy. Prohibition of discrimination. Prohibition of abuse of rights."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Today is Ukraine’s Independence Day.

We celebrate a nation and its people who are bravely resisting Russia’s war of aggression.

For their freedom. Their peaceful future.

We stand by them for as long as it takes for a just and lasting peace.

With Ukraine, unwaveringly.

To the left of the Ukrainian flag is a vertical strip with five yellow stars, representing the European Union flag. The words "YOUR FREEDOM IS OUR FREEDOM" are written in bold, white uppercase letters on the right side of the image.

When Trump meets Putin, we may receive new evidence about whether Trump is a gentleman or merely a showman.

Will anyone from his inner circle recall the “gentleman’s agreement” the US made to Ukraine?

When principles begin to erode, the tangible signs of a declining society become apparent

What worries me about chaotic Trump administration is that this kind of behavior will spread across the world as a pandemic against fundamental values of democracy. As in previous pandemic, what matter most is how fast we create an antidote. And it will not be a mRNA, but a civic wake-up!

Today, the Coalition of the Willing convened.

We support the proposal for a full and unconditional 30-day ceasefire.

It must be implemented without preconditions to pave the way for meaningful peace negotiations.

The ball is now in Russia’s court.
