Summary
After weeks of pressure, President Biden announced he would send Ukraine M1 Abrams tanks. The decision clears the way for Germany to send over a dozen of their own tanks to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian forces.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Pope Francis called laws that criminalize homosexuality “unjust.” It’s the latest statement he's made in support of the LGBTQ+ community — though he maintained the Catholic Church’s view that being gay or lesbian is a sin.
And in headlines: India forced Twitter and Youtube to take down a documentary critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Meta announced that it will reinstate Donald Trump's Facebook account, and Justin Bieber sold his share of the rights to his music catalog for $200 million.
