Tommy Robinson is a hateful liar. He spread a lie about undocumented migrants murdering Americans. This is the real hate march.

We were outside the Dáil this morning at the Fair Seas Rally for Ireland’s Seas, calling on our government to finally bring in effective Marine Protected Area legislation. Ireland’s marine life needs our government to act now before it is too late. @fairseas.ie #MPAsNow

Racism is in every system and scientific field. Harmful biases and violence continue to impact minorities in marine science as well as thwart conservation efforts worldwide. We won’t achieve environmental justice or sustainable reform without acknowledging and working toward social justice.

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling. The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right. Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

The Common Fisheries Policy states that the distribution of quotas should be based on social and environmental criteria rather than historical catch criteria. Implementing this would represent a significant step forward for small-scale, low-impact fishers.

What is happening in #Berlin re Palestine activists and war protestors is not acceptable within EU charter and citizen rights. It is not a crime to protest peacefully, it is not a crime to defend Palestinian people's rights, and doing so thus not make you antisemitic or a Hamas supporter.
