Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

At Teotihuacan, a major Mesoamerican city, we’ll be using our new database of avian proteins (doi.org/10.21203/rs....) to identify fragmented bones and eggshells and reconstruct the role of wild and domesticated birds in the subsistence strategies of the city’s residents. #paleoproteomics #MSCA

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.
