Hi! I study DNA from museum specimens and fossils to see how animals are responding to change in the environment. This is a cave in Madagascar where bones of extinct species can help us in our research #ScienceIsForEveryone #ScienceSelfie

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf.
America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

The woman murdered in cold blood in Minneapolis today by ICE on behalf of Trump was not, as Sec. Noem, a "domestic terrorist." ICE agents were the domestic terrorists here—and they work for her, and ultimately him.

This isn't a new problem.
ICE initially claimed that the officer was "seriously injured" sustaining "severe injuries" and in "serious condition" but actual body cam footage of the ICE agents now shows that they LIED. The officer himself says it was "nothing major" via Chicago Sun Times: chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

An ICE officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis. Local officials, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, denounced the surge of federal officers in the area.
"This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed,” Frey said. https://wapo.st/4qOqc0x

Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility.
There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified.
This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

What happened in Minneapolis today is an inexcusable tragedy. My heart is with the victim's family and loved ones.
One thing is clear: ICE is out of control. We have to listen to local leaders warning that ICE is putting communities in danger.
ICE must leave Minneapolis now.

You have to watch this video. It is the best angle. It is on other platforms. I reposted it on X. I prosecuted and defended hundreds of cases where people were alleged to have used their vehicles as deadly weapons against police. This is not that. bsky.app/profile/bnon...
Bluesky is hiding our post which shows what happened in Minneapolis, even though there's no graphic content (the victim is never shown).
Video evidence shows the public what happened and allows people to form an opinion, which is especially important when officials call it an act of terrorism.
