Trump’s Secretary of Labor, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, is holding a press conference at the Department of Labor tomorrow morning to make an “announcement.” It’s probably not gonna be good news.

DOL workers are asking folks to come show support as they continue fighting Trump’s anti-worker agenda:
Stand up for workers' rights – join us tomorrow! At 9 a.m. ET on Friday, May 23, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be holding a press conference outside Department of Labor headquarters in D.C. to make a public announcement. We believe it's critical that workers’ voices are heard loud and clear. Join us to show your solidarity. Bring signs. Bring noise. Bonus points if you show up in costume or bring your inflatable rat. Together, let’s make a statement that can’t be ignored.

Quote from the book: "Figure 4. Three species of dung beetles with different nesting behaviours. a – Aphodius pedellus (6–8 mm) is one of the more colourful species of ‘dweller’ in Canada. b – Onthophagus nuchicornis (6–8 mm) is a species of ‘tunneller’ that locally can be very abundant. c – Canthon pilularius (12–17 mm) is a species of ‘roller’ and is perhaps the largest species of dung beetle in Canada. Whereas it is a native species, the other two are of European origin. Photos: H Goulet (retired), AAFC Ottawa, ON" Quote from the book describing the image: "Of African origin, Digitonthophagus gazella may have the widest distribution of any dung beetle species in the world. Because of deliberate introductions, it now occurs in Australia, New Zealand, Central America, North America and South America. Photo: H. Goulet (retired), AAFC Ottawa, ON." Image of three staphylinid beetles. Text quoted from the linked book: "Figure 84. Subfamily Omaliinae. a – Omalium rivulare (Udo Schmidt – CC-BY-NC-SA); b – Phyllodrepa floralis (© Lech Borowiec); c – Xylodromus concinnus (Udo Schmidt – CC-BY-NC-SA)." Diagram of a cow patty and where creatures can be found on it. Quote from the book: "Figure 3. Dung beetles can be grouped into categories of ‘dwellers’, ‘tunnellers’ and ‘rollers’ based on their nesting behaviour. Within each category, different species of beetles may form different types of burrows. Image modified from Doube (1990) and reprinted from Floate (2011)."
