A figure depicting continental drift from when Gondwana existed to present day, with continents and countries colored according to the ratite species that occur or occurred on them. Next to that is a cartoon of a phylogeny that we would expect support for if continental drift explained patterns of species occurrence and relatedness. And next to that is a cartoon of the phylogeny supported by the genetic data presented in this paper, which demonstrates that closely related species must have traveled great distances after Gondwana broke up, after which flightlessness evolved, and that this happened more than once.

This paper is a great for teaching phylogenetic trees.

"Ancient DNA reveals elephant birds and kiwi are sister taxa and clarifies ratite bird evolution"

Clearly written. It discusses hypotheses of relatedness among species via continental drift vs genetic data. 🧪

Major Minnesota Update: The Trump Narrative Falls Apart as Even Republicans Question It We have a major development this afternoon.

This is a breaking point.
This admin’s story on the Alex Pretti killing is collapsing on TV even some conservatives aren’t buying it. Now centrist Dems who funded ICE are backing impeachment for Kristi Noem. They’re scrambling. This matters.

Three-way video sync and slow+zoom showing the moment of the first shot before Alex Pretti was killed by DHS agents in Minneapolis yesterday.

There's some claims that Pretti's gun was the source of the first shot after it was taken from him, though in these videos it doesn't appear that's the case.

Believe Your Eyes People are risking their lives to document agents in Minneapolis.

In 2024, Border Patrol released this propaganda video showing off their crowd control training. If you notice, protesters (actors) have anti-Trump and ACAB signs. What they're doing in Minneapolis isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about targeting so-called leftists.

Cold Blooded Murder by ICE

Pick.

Side.

If you turn away from what's happening and have ANY political power, you've made your choice.

You're supporting the killing and kidnapping of innocent people.

And people around the US -- and the world -- are bearing witness.

Nine Solutions for Political Corruption A new era of anticorruption reform is long overdue.

President Trump’s assertion of near-total control over the executive branch — leveraged to grow his net worth by more than an estimated $3 billion since returning to office — alongside dark money, shows why a new era of anticorruption reform is overdue. Our latest report outlines nine solutions.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Maybe this is America after all.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Very beautiful

Very sad

Republican fear is so unattractive

Does anyone remember the classic "ICE vs The Viking in a Bathtub" sketch on Monty Python? Good times!

Stay safe Don. Thank you.

This IS the result of the Supreme Court of the United States of America giving the most amoral person in America immunity from his crimes.

Crimes that stack up daily.

Including 115 counts of 1st-degree murder of unarmed civilians suspected of crimes not punishable by the death penalty.

No one safe from #ICE
This is a nightmare! What needs to happen at this point to end this⁉️

"It's a good act but it's hard on the spectators..."

They say they’re monitoring ICE arrests. Feds say they’re breaking the law. The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a Minneapolis street here, has brought new attention to ICE monitoring.

"The veteran said he saw volunteering as an ICE observer as another way of serving his country.

'It’s the most American thing to do: not to be scared of people trying to scare you...

This is a pivotal moment we’ll be asked about by our kids, "Where were you?"

At the very least we should impeach her hat.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
