👁️👁️ More than 500 million years ago, some of the very first #vertebrates may have navigated the world with four eyes.
New #research suggests two of those eyes eventually evolved into the pineal gland – the part of our modern #brains that regulates #sleep.

Die National Portrait Gallery kürzte Trumps Biografietext – seine Impeachment-Verfahren verschwanden. Derweil dokumentieren 600 Freiwillige als „Citizen Historians", was aus den Smithsonian-Ausstellungen entfernt wird.

So right, if the #trumpadministration removes (plays with history) with the current exhibitions, the institution can use their power and (smile) charge $90 to enter which causes nobody to see the #censored info
That what they say is just a pretext becomes glaringly apparent when white government agents are stopping, arresting, and imprisoning Native Americans over their purported immigration statuses.
The shameful atrocities committed by the U.S.A. against native Americans from the 18th to the 20th centuries are the very things that #DonaldJTrump last year ordered the #Smithsonian to stop telling people about and is still suppressing today.
The president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota said three of the four tribal members detained by ICE agents in Minneapolis last week have been transferred to an ICE facility and called for their immediate release. President Frank Star Comes Out said the Department of Homeland Security refused to release more information on the men arrested unless the tribe entered into an immigration agreement with ICE. He said the tribe has no plans to enter into an agreement with ICE.
The Smithsonian Institution, the world’s largest museum complex, faces a deadline to comply with a White House demand looking for “improper ideology.” #Smithsonian #trump #politics
