Dear Joe Biden @potus,
You call #Putin a butcher for a very low casualty war that NATO, US Military Industrial complex started
What do you call US Presidents who dropped 7.5 million tonne of bombs = 469 Hiroshima Bombs on Vietnam. Your war killed 3.2 million Vietnamese

Your people came to America, a beautiful continent and destroyed the inhabitants - Native Americans. You stole their lands, killed them, destroyed their way of life and kept making treaties with them and then breaking them. You did genocide of the #NativeAmericans Americans

Frances Densmore (1867-1957) was an American ethnologist/ethnomusicologist. Inspired by the work of Alice Fletcher, Densmore devoted her life to documenting the songs & ceremonies of Native Americans, esp. the Dakota #Sioux & Minnesota #Ojibwe. #IWD2021 #NativeAmericans (thread)
After receiving a research grant, Densmore purchased this Columbia #graphophone #waxcylinder recorder and used it throughout years of fieldwork, recording songs and interviews. #fieldrecording #phonography #ethnomusicology #InternationalWomensDay2021
She left behind a meticulously catalogued and invaluable personal archive of some 2,500 cylinder recordings. (Photo: Densmore [in hat] stands before a #tipi, 1900 – other people in photo undocumented). #InternationalWomensDay

Lifted the ban on the importing of elephant trophies and endangered species
Knowing that elephants are sentient animals with families who mourn their dead

Lifted restrictions on safety at chicken and pork plants. Took away protections from the farmers and gave them back to the chicken and pork sellers. Made it ok for us to eat tumors/cancer in our chicken

Thx for having me @kstsosie @DecolonizeDNA! Today I will tweet about how ancient DNA (aDNA) 💀🧬can be used to revisit the historical record, & reconsider the stories of underrep & minoritized communities across the Americas 🧵1/ #DecolonizeDNA #DNADay (Img: Systema Solar)
aDNA is the🧬that persists in ancient tissues like 🦷🦴💀, or the remains of 🦌🌿🐀🐚. It can inform us about evolution, ancient diversity & health. But bc of its age, aDNA is degraded and easily contaminated so we must handle it using lots of PPE, like this! 2/ #DecolonizeDNA
aDNA🦴🧬+ other lines of evidence🔍📋🏺⚰️💀can reconstruct past events & their impact in the present. This is a powerful 🦸🏽✊🏽way to understand the experiences of ppls who were marginalized, excluded or misrepresented in the written historical record 📜3/ #DecolonizeDNA #DNADay

3/ ...(aka #MassachusettsBay, @Plimoth, #Connecticut & #NewHaven) demanded the #NarragansettIndians turn over these combatants, but the natives delayed any formal response. John Easton, in his "A Relation of the Indian Warr" wrote that soon after this refusal...
