Q for scholars of the Dutch empire & decolonization: a friend's father spent the 1950s in Papua New Guinea where he recorded the last stages of Dutch rule. Would any institutions or scholars be interested in several hours of film footage, once digitized? Looking for a good home for these materials.

Another really lame BBC piece by @vanessabusch.bsky.social who once again fails to name Venezuela's largest world oil reserves as primary reason for Trump's action. Immigration and drugs are listed high. Why can the main cause not be stated openly? It's obvious to the rest of us, why not the BBC?

Nazi Germany wasn’t Nazi Germany until it was. Everything was normal, life went on until it didn’t.
Early 1920s banner of Leningrad Bolshevik Party in its new home in Marx Memorial Library yesterday.
Among yesterday's arrestees is Deborah Hinton, an 81-year old retired magistrate with an OBE. That's Yvette Cooper's idea of a terrorist. Language has been turned on its head. The law has been turned on its head. Murdering children is righteous. Trying to stop it is terrorism.
2nd reading of the Terrorism Bill, 14 December 1999. Home Sec Jack Straw responds to an MP asking if supporting international protests involve property damage would be counted as supporting terrorism: "Not even remotely". This is the legislation being used to proscribe Palestine Action. #Palestine
If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences? This is where we show them how solidarity works. My latest with the great @doubledown.news
