Another amazing discovery which pushes back the oldest known cave art by over 15,000 years!!!
And the professor who led the project is Adam Brumm, brother of Joe (the creator of Bluey!), and that’s why Bandit the dog is a paleo-archaeologist in the show! 😁

ICE officers appear to be committing criminal offences of assault and administering a noxious substance regularly.
They should be both sued on a personal level and prosecuted by the state.

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
