Yesterday Dutch parliament shamefully passed an extreme law criminalizing being undocumented, and also criminalizing aiding undocumented people. The Dutch national police has now released a statement that they can't support this. Most appreciated. politie.nl/nieuws/2025/juli/4/

I really really really despise this narrative that if you don't recover from cancer you just didn't fight hard enough.

@ChrisMayLA6 He’s indefensible, because he and the party flat out lied to everyone. Voted for in slim numbers because a great many people already saw through Starmer, and those that did now feel very betrayed. His articles in media like The Sun, his recent Enoch Powell speech, his reversal of all environmental policies, the parties acceptance of millions in ‘donations’ is sickening. As for his complete betrayal of human rights - that really is the bridge too far. Whether he’s cancelling the very existence of trans people, or pronouncing peaceful action as terrorism - it’s the opposite of everything Labour ever stood for. That’s before we even look at taking money from pensioners, keeping families in a two-child cap, and being unimaginably cruel to those disabled and to carers.
And then there’s his alignment with Donald Trump and understanding his ‘family values’. Starmer makes me sick and very angry.

Just deleted blue sky and threads from my phone again.

Too much like Twitter, I was getting wound up by strangers with bad takes who seem to be rather too fond of murdering children.

Been a while since I did this

Sorry to ‘told-you-so’ but I hope everyone who has sneered at my refusal to use Spotify over the years is pleased that their investment in music convenience is paying off so ethically.

Please stop supporting the platformisation of art. Buy music from musicians. Go to their gigs. Buy physical media. Use bandcamp.
