A solid team effort from @mongabay.com examining the impact of the Trump's administration's cuts to USAID and conservation funding on the global illegal wildlife trade. 'The traffickers are going to have more space to operate, and it’s just going to put these species back on a path of extinction.'

This story requires a great deal more attention. The Trump administration is doing everything it can to get Russian gas back into Europe. This is Washington and Moscow now in full strategic alignment via a shared vision of a fossil fuel future.

Remember: POTUS' power is cabined by law. Knowing these orders will flout the rule of law, remember this too if Trump moves forward: He will run into a unified wall of seasoned civic organizations, many of whom are purpose-built to fight the transgressive use of power. #Solidarity #PackStrength

So, this lawsuit filed on Saturday did get a little attention, rightly on the merits — about a climate group suing over money the Trump administration is trying to keep from them — but it's important for at least two other reasons. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/c...

Not an exaggeration to say this was pound-for-pound the most effective piece of US public diplomacy in China. Twitter was blocked, but U.S. embassy pollution tweets forced Beijing to start publishing its own pollution data, which fed public outrage. Result: millions breathing vastly less toxic air

Kudos to @jpalfrey.bsky.social and the MacArthur Foundation for stepping up at this critical moment. Increasing foundation giving to fill the gap left by the broken promises and breached contracts of federal funding shows true leadership and compassion. #belovedcommunity apnews.com/article/maca...

Seeing piece after piece in the DC sheets about mounting economic uncertainty. They're saying it implicitly by what they're discussing. But note that the editors are really struggling with the fact they can't bring themselves to say that Trump is tanking the economy.
