Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Once again: this is not neutral coverage!

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Congrats to Arianna and co. for a fab paper! Posth lab animal aDNA crew going strong 😋 Some nice damage correction software for non-UDG treated samples is also presented here- which I have had the pleasure of using in my thesis 🤩🧬🐎

GACT has now a "Hiwi" (research assistant). Welcome to the team @joe-mezza.bsky.social! 😀 More about Joe: geogenarch-tuebingen.de/news/this-is...

This is driving me crazy. The New York Times calling this madness an “anti-drug operation” is one of the worst forms of propaganda: accepting stated motivations of powerful people as the truth.

We’ve really hit a low when we’re letting Google publish “smart phone use is fine” in PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Sabotage.

If the Trump administration actually cared about the people of Texas, they wouldn't be firing climate scientists and shutting down the NOAA labs that make our weather forecasts possible.

Last Monday, a group of GACT members and students from the course “Archaeology and Ecology of Caves – the Swabian Jura Sites” visited Charlottenhöhle in the Lone Valley. Read more in our news.

Decades from now, the polite mainstream will claim the legacy of the protester who stands bravely against the jeering white boys - just like it currently claims the legacy of protesters who stood bravely decades ago. But let’s remember where the polite mainstream stands in the moment.

Speaking as college faculty...no. Rather, it is precisely **because** college students are forming strong bonds of community, interaction, and care that all of this is even possible. It's much of the rest of the US that's forgotten how to do that, and so looks on in terror.
