“.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish ..

“.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

90% of you probably don’t need to read this.
But maybe some of you are curious & 10% will feel seen. Or a little less alone. This isn’t about seeking sympathy.

Also read the amazing work by @alexdemendoza.bsky.social and co !!!
It is amazing that @dudinlab.bsky.social beautiful #ExM composition has been selected to highlight our #6mA work for the cover of @natgenet.nature.com. #Protists (and ichthyosporeans in particular) in the cover of NG must be quite unique!
