Drug laws have never stopped people from using drugs.
They've stopped people from using drugs safely.
It's time to legalise *and* regulate.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

As JD Vance attacked on women’s rights at an anti-abortion rally just miles away, neo-Nazis 'Patriot Front' marched in Washington, DC.

Well said, Steve Baker (says this Green Party member). #Newsnight

20.01.2026 22:58 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Listening to Trump presser for 40 mins. Rambling, repetitive stream of consciousness. Narcissistic in extreme. Every thought linked back to whether the person or entity voted for or likes Trump. If Biden had delivered this there would have been serious concern about his health.
