My colleague, MP Victoria Velasquez, has been boarded and unlawfully detained by Israel in international waters while attempting to sail food and medicine to Gaza.
I expect our government to demand the immediate release of Victoria and the other activists, and to condemn Israel’s crimes. #dkpol

Min kollega, MF Victoria Velasquez, er blevet bordet og ulovligt tilbageholdt af Israel i internationalt farvand, da hun forsøgte at sejle mad og medicin til Gaza.
Jeg forventer, at vores regering kræver Victoria og de andre aktivister øjeblikkeligt løsladt, og fordømmer Israels forbrydelser #dkpol

Antarktis har længe været betragtet som mere stabilt end Arktis, men i dag er billedet ændret: Havis forsvinder, temperaturer stiger også her, isstrømme accelererer, og smeltevand trænger ned i gletsjernes sprækker, hvilket får dem til at glide hurtigere ud i havet.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
