So proud of my city today: Over 60,000 people in #Brussels came out on the streets today to protest the Belgian government's climate inaction. #ClimateCrisis #MarchePourLeClimat #Bruxelles #Brussel #ClimaatCoalitie
Photo with protestors marching down Rue de la Loi in Brussels. Above the street, activists have put up large yellow banners that read "We won't forget this summer" and "We won't forgive their silence".

So, after eighteen months of lying on the supermarket floor screaming at Denmark, Donald Trump has been handed the 1951 defence agreement, which already gave America bases and the run of Greenland for as long as NATO exists, and which it was using so enthusiastically that it closed sixteen of its seventeen installations there.

He will certainly make the history books, although I fear not in the chapter he was hoping for.
