Our new essay on India’s tigers. They symbolized Rajput courage, Mughals saw hunting them as dominance over nature and the British used them to assert imperial control. Today, conservation has changed their meaning once again. @rybiller for @newlinesmag.

“For Mughal emperors like Akbar and Jahangir, a tiger slain in the forest showed their dominance over nature and, more broadly, their imperial authority.” | @rybiller

The Epstein saga “punctures the very myth that made the president who he was to much of his base” and poses a unique threat to his administration, reports @rybiller for @newlinesmag.

Always a pleasure to contribute to the great New Lines Magazine — my favorite publication to both read and write for. Check out our latest, which explores precisely why the Epstein issue is a unique PR problem for Trump after decades of flirting with QAnon and Pizzagate

[Danny Postel @DannyPostel]

The Epstein issue poses a unique problem for Trumpism: by exploding the MAGA fantasy of the president as a lone warrior against an elite pedophile cabal, it induces a knotty cognitive dissonance among the faithful. @rybiller explores the contours of this disillusionment⤵️

NEW: Trump’s ties to Epstein undercut MAGA’s core narrative of him as the lone warrior against supposed elite pedophile cabals. Now the battle over releasing the Epstein files poses a unique threat to his presidency, @rybiller reports for @newlinesmag.

One scientist spent decades battling conservationists’ skepticism in an attempt to vaccinate the Congo Basin’s gorillas. @rybiller examines an idea that could help save great apes in the wild and prevent a pandemic in humans, for @newlinesmag.

This @rybiller for @newlinesmag is outstanding.

In Gaza, even those who want to write often can’t find the time or strength as they are starved & bombed.

A personal piece for @newlinesmag from @lsmwilson which also captures the dread & anguish those of us that cover the tragedy from a distance feel https://t.co/asGhQyt0Rm

[Lydia Wilson @lsmwilson]

In which I learned: Superman punched Hitler (earning a furious response from the Nazis); caused a drop in KKK membership; lost to Mohammed Ali...the latest movie is true to this history of standing up for human rights, argues @rybiller for @newlinesmag. https://t.co/QVJfihXzPe

Editor’s pick: One ecologist fought skepticism for years to try to inoculate gorillas in the Republic of Congo. Could vaccinating great apes really help us stop a pandemic?
