Climate activists from Extinction Rebellion NYC staged a protest at the Midtown Apple store, spray painting its windows to express discontent over Apple's perceived betrayal regarding climate change commitments. They criticized Apple CEO Tim Cook for donating to Trump while previously supporting the Paris Agreement. During the protest, activists inside chanted slogans while others spray-painted messages outside. One man was arrested as police intervened, with officers discussing the clean-up of the spray paint left on the store's windows. The event reflects ongoing tensions regarding corporate environmental responsibility and political affiliations.
