Activist arrested spray-painting Midtown Apple store in protest over climate change and Trump

On Sunday, Extinction Rebellion protested at New York's Fifth Avenue Apple Store, spray-painting slogans and chanting against CEO Tim Cook and President Trump.
The protest followed Tim Cook's 2025 donation to Trump's inauguration and accusations that tech CEOs betrayed climate commitments while balancing business interests.
Activists called for a boycott, referenced Apple's climate hypocrisy, and denounced the Trump administration for rolling back environmental protections amid ongoing Texas floods.
Police officers ejected protesters and arrested one man who spray-painted phrases like "Boycott" and "Tim + Trump = Toxic" on the store's glass exterior.
The event highlights growing tensions as Big Tech faces criticism for expanding AI-related emissions and aligning with a government accused of undermining climate progress.
