"Americans have long glorified their constitution and the rule of law. But Donald Trump’s volatile and vindictive presidency has increasingly replaced that philosophy with something very different – call it “governing by shakedown”. - @greenhousenyt.bsky.social

Trump’s presidential philosophy is government by shakedown | Steven Greenhouse

The president’s strategy is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Congress and the courts must put a stop to it

Help please! We are doing FECs of bovids and have found something we cannot identify. Also some diarrhoea in these animals. Any help super massively appreciated! #parasites #wildlife #bovid Please share with any bovid parasitology experts (assuming this is what it is)! Google AI not very helpful....

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!
