Just a reminder that I manage a conservation and fisheries (or fisheries conservation) starter pack. One day I'll get around to a counter IUU specific one but today is not that day.

None of these things are new but I’m grateful to the @financialtimes.com for being another voice bringing these abuses to light
NEW: Our investigation finds a tuna supply chain riddled with exploitation and abuse - where fishermen spend months or even years at sea.
Some describe threats, beatings and deception over pay.
Yet the fish they catch is still ending up on our plates.

Some of my words and images in this open article by the Financial Times in London… for the last few years I have been working more on the labour side of fisheries, yet as former migrant fisherman myself I hardly get invited to contribute. I appreciate the opportunity

The world is shit right now. Make it a little less shit - grant a wish for a kid in foster care.
🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇

My Catholic League story is that when I wrote opinions for the Stony Brook Statesman I had to call them for a comment on something and I actually got Bill Donohue, who yelled at me when I asked if he was the only person who worked at the Catholic League.
Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers
He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command."

www.mediamatters.org/oath-keepers...
![STEWART RHODES (FOUNDER, OATH KEEPERS): And one other thing I want to say is that President Trump, as commander in chief, always has absolute authority to call all of us up as the militia because every one of us — in federal statues defining the militia, it's every able-bodied male from age 17-45. And for us veterans, it goes up to age 64 because of our prior training and experience.
Right now, under federal statutes, President Trump can call us up as the militia if he sees it necessary, especially for three purposes: to repel invasions, to suppress insurrections, and to execute the laws of the union. And right now, we see all three of those in play.
...
And the militia is all of us. So the National Guard is part of the militia, which is why it's completely lawful for him to use the National Guard as he has, and he should do more of that, I think, across the country.
...
He could just say given the circumstances of an invasion, insurrection, and resistance against federal law being being enforced, I'm calling up the militia, ordering all the men to come together [in] every county, put the veterans in charge of training and organizing all the other men and just have them stand too and await his orders. He can do that and I think he should do that. And so that's what I'll be advocating for from him. So from the bottom, from down the rank and file, we can let President Trump know that we're ready to serve, encourage him to do that, call us up as a militia, order us all to come together in our counties under his command, which gives you complete legal sanction to do what you're doing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:af7tqcetuyt352aolf3znlxe/bafkreialm4skuozqobejpd6vx4m6kuwsgtidxmmxvj3ftcff6otiuyohiy@jpeg)

His health is declining, they won’t let him get his legs and they’ve placed him in solitary

a lot of people are quoting this and saying things like “standing up for trans rights is a winning political strategy” and while I agree with this, win or lose standing up for trans rights is important - no, vital - because it’s the right thing to do.

In an article full of interesting facts is the idea that we don't know how many crew members of fishing vessels are abandoned in random countries BECAUSE NOBODY IS TRACKING IT.
There are stats for other types of crew members, such as crew on shipping vessels.
