In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

Are THERE REALLY
Electronic Warrants ?
Not signed by a judge
Administrative warrants signed by ICE officials
THEY DO NOT PROVIDE LEGAL AUTHORITY for AGENT TO ENTER PRIVATE HOMES OR BUSINESSES WITHOUT CONSENT

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

ICE officers will almost certainly be prosecuted by Minnesota.
The people of MN should say this to ICE: “you’ll be prosecuted and go to jail eventually. Trump cannot protect you.”

Where can Californians sign up?
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

You're paying for this.
Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs.
Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.
