⚠️ Important headsup if you are on the server mastodon.cloud:
Mastodon.cloud no longer seems to be moderated. Its admin account hasn't posted since Feb 2023, its code of conduct is blank and there are vile racists posting from there. The racists have been reported many times but their accounts are still active.
Because of this, other server admins are starting to block mastodon.cloud completely.
If you're on mastodon.cloud you might want to move to another server ASAP: https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server

Nearly three months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. He has lost access to his email and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at The Hague-based court also have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. In addition, some nongovernmental organizations have stopped working with the ICC. Rights groups say these problems will prevent victims of war crimes from getting justice.

Ocean biodiversity must not be lost.
The time to act is now.
We’re taking steps to put into practice the High Seas Treaty, enabling Marine Protected Areas beyond national jurisdiction.
Our rules ensure smooth implementation across all EU countries with:
🐠 environmental assessments before any activities in international waters;
👩🔬 support for EU researchers.
Let's achieve effective conservation of at least 30% of the ocean by 2030.
For our oceans, our future.
