It starts on the smartphone of every child and can end in a case as shocking as Jane Done and the Cornell 7. It's time to hold the companies and the people accountable.

Abusing women is not a business model. Whether it's spyware to track women's phones, or nudify apps used to undress women, Big Tech has made millions off the abuse of women.

Leaving Uganda & Rwanda after researching plans to send migrants here. Some of my views changed, but I'm still against the deals: 1️⃣ Fragile system, risk of instability 2️⃣ EU law doesn't apply, no human rights guarantee 3️⃣ No ties to these countries: deportation, not return More soon… 💬

Perhaps you’ve heard: five European countries have plans in the works to deport migrants to 🇷🇼 and 🇺🇬. I’m very sceptical of these plans. So I travelled there to see for myself and gather as much information possible. Was I too sceptical, or are the worries legit?

We know why people migrate - plenty of research and knowledge exists. Why does it rarely shape policy? ‘Positive vibes’ are not enough to defend this performative proposal. @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu: withdraw your proposal and address migration seriously.

I’m fed up with those polarising the migration debate. Emotions instead of facts rule. What have decades of emotion-driven border policies brought us? Migration still happens, smuggler networks thrive, suffering at boarders increases. And the feeling of ‘them’ against ‘us’ reached a record high.

Von der Leyen pushes for ‘group expulsion’ of people seeking asylum. Feeling the heat of the far-right, she is joining the race to be the toughest on migration. At this rate, asylum itself may vanish in the next decade.

This was not the train I was on this morning, but the one behind it. Russian bombed this at the Ukrainian-Polish border. Thankfully the alarm system works well, people where evacuated in time, and no one got hurt. Russia escalates. Again and again. We should give Ukraine the means to win!

Now, the accounts of people keeping the world up to date on what is happening on the streets are being taken offline. This is nothing less than censorship and a repression of free speech.

Someone is trying to silence the Flamingo Revolution 🦩 A few months ago I went to Albania to support Albanians in their fight for a better future. Their fight for better pensions, better healthcare, and against the corrupt government was an inspiration

This weekend I was at Ventotene to discuss and debate European Federalism with people and politicians from all across Europe. It’s time to drastically change the way the EU works because that is the only way we can fight against the forces of Putin, Trump and Xi

Italian islands: sun, Aperol, and- European Federalism?! It’s hard to imagine a peaceful sun-drenched island off of Naples as the birthplace of European Federalism. But in 1941 the imprisoned Alberto Spinelli and Ernesto Rossi wrote the Ventotene Manifesto here

Of course, it’s hard to satirise someone in jackboots shouting racist slogans. So while this was fun, I will continue the fight inside and outside the European Parliament. I hope you’ll join me

Our ideas on Saving Europe involve compassion, tolerance, courage, and not hatred, division, and racism. And while they shout Europe is Full, we say it is full of talent, hope, and respect.

When the far right turns up in front of the European Parliament shouting about ‘remigration’, we had to sneak in our own ideas on how to ‘Save Europe’.

Migration is a complex and sensitive topic that I am happy to debate with anyone. But this dog-whistle racism has no part in European politics. If they show up tomorrow, we will be there.

Tomorrow Eva Vlaardingerbroek and Martin Sellner are bringing a circus of hate to Brussels. They are holding a rally in front of the European Parliament in support of remigration. Remigration is their dream of creating an all-white Europe by deporting people who have lived in Europe for generations

Onder Jetten worden straks de eerste huiszoekingen gedaan om afgewezen asielzoekers op te sporen en op te sluiten in de EU of in kampen buiten de EU. Ook kinderen. D66 zet de deur wagenwijd open voor mensenrechtenschendingen. Ik ben diep teleurgesteld dat D66 is gebogen voor de druk van VVD.

D66 stond jarenlang voor menselijkheid in het asielbeleid. Nu niet meer… D66 veranderde hun positie tijdens een stemming. Ze zijn niet langer tegen de wet die deportaties mogelijk maakt.

Vjosa-Narta, a nature reserve, is not just a line on a map but a symbolic place for all Albanians. Home to wilderness and beautiful flamingoes, it’s now under threat by Edi Rama, who wants to bulldoze it to build luxury resorts for his friends. Friends like Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

We can make a start at changing this culture by taking real action. Equal parental leave for father and mothers, to start with. Affordable daycare. Because whether unpaid or paid, work is work and it’s time society made it fair.

Inviting the Taliban to Brussels for asylum talks has consequences. They will come with demands too. This invitation legitimises the regime, even if the Commission denies it. Von der Leyen is rolling out the red carpet for those who deem women to be possessions. nos.nl/l/2615978

In Iran, the Islamic Republic has shut down the internet and is executing those detained during the January protests - a tactic we’ve seen before in 2022. International pressure works, and as European politicians, we were able to protect some of those facing execution then.

Ook ik kan me niet meer uitspreken over de noodzaak voor goede opvang zonder duizenden reacties vol drek over mij heen te krijgen. Te veel tolerantie voor deze kleine groep mensen zorgt voor een intolerante samenleving. Er zijn grenzen, en die zijn nu bereikt.

Anna Strolenberg @annastrolenberg.volteuropa.org · 13/05/2026
RTL: “De meeste Nederlanders zijn vóór opvang van asielzoekers én vóór de spreidingswet.” Toch laat een kleine agressieve groep zich het hardst horen - met brand, explosies en geweld. Dat maakt asielzoekers bang en maakt het voor bestuurders en politici moeilijker om hun nek uit te steken.

A clear definition of femicide is not symbolic, but necessary for justice, prevention and accountability. The European Parliament has already called on Member States to formally recognise femicide as a gender-based crime. Now it’s up to the Dutch government to take the next step!
