Demonstrators surge in Vermont, New York City and Boston after Oval Office debacle with US president and vice-president

Summary

Protests erupted across the U.S. in response to Donald Trump and JD Vance’s Oval Office bullying of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Demonstrators gathered in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Boston, waving Ukrainian flags and demanding continued U.S. support for Ukraine.

In Vermont, protesters disrupted Vance’s ski trip, criticizing his stance. Many labeled the White House meeting an “ambush” and condemned Trump’s ultimatum to Ukraine.

The protests reflected growing public frustration over the administration’s shifting stance on the Russia-Ukraine war.

      I don’t know why enabling netanyahu’s genocide was a greater priority for the biden administration than Ukraine ever was. Or indeed, anything else for the entirety of his term.

      It was crazy to see waves of cops converging on Gaza protesters while college admins are dragged up in front of Congress to be harangued for allowing ISIS to infiltrate their campuses.

      I wonder if we’ll see Ukrainian protesters get the same treatment.

        The russians do not have the same amount of lobbying in the whole country that the israelis do, at least not yet.
