This is such a great story, some great work by Laura and others at Wellcome & @sciencemuseum.org.uk
Super proud of this one - sometimes in museums we get to do the right thing & correct a historical wrong.
Honoured to have played a part in returning Preben Holger Larsen's remains to Denmark, and I hope sharing our methods helps other museums follow difficult research threads.

ICE Accidentally Publishes A ‘Watch List’ Of Immigration Lawyers, Which Is Definitely A Normal Thing For The Government To Do
This is... disturbing.
Let’s not forget, this regime has not been subtle about its hostility toward lawyers in general and immigration lawyers in particular.

1. A blockade is an act of war
2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨
3. It’s always about oil.

Did someone say MOU? Reading between the lines of Mark Carney’s plan to build an oil pipeline from Alberta to the BC coast - Greenpeace Canada
The Carney government's MOU with the Government of Alberta to build a new tar sands pipeline rolls back key climate policies and attacks Indigenous rights.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.
