    Debbie Brockman is a journalist for WGN, Chicago's most iconic television station. Here she is being wrestled to the ground, handcuffed & detained by masked ICE agents in broad daylight ICE rammed into her vehicle & dragged her out. Her whereabouts are unknown This is fascism.

    She's a politician, running for Congress. She attended a protest against ICE. ICE brutalized her, tear gassed her, body slammed her to the ground. And now *she's* been arrested for 'hindering' ICE. She faces eight years in prison. This is fascism. msnbc.com/msnbc/news/kat…

    Six guys were fixing a roof near Chicago, as kids played in the street. They were legal immigrants, with papers. No matter, ICE kicked away their ladders, made them jump, chased them guns drawn as families watched, detained them anyway. Fascism.

    A fresh direction for the franchise. Brilliant creative vision from director Gareth Edwards & team. Huge new stars: Jonathan Bailey, Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali. Oh yeah, I'm back as paleontology consultant... ...and writing this from the set in London!

    Our little one has just arrived. Welcome Baby Yingliang, a gorgeous fossil dinosaur embryo preserved inside its egg! You're looking here at a baby dinosaur, not too long before it would have hatched.

    Sharks eating dinosaurs! At the charming @narodnimuzeum in Prague. Totally morbid paleoart. But based on one of the few Czech dinosaur fossils, an ornithopod bone crisscrossed with the razor blade bites of sharks.

    It's happening. The reports are true. A new @JurassicWorld film is in the works! And I'll be back as a consultant, helping the moviemakers get a pulse on what we really know about dinosaurs. Honored again to follow in the footsteps of @dustydino. Stay tuned...

    Never thought I would see the day when the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology sues the President of the United States. But here we are. Let's stand with SVP to protect our fossil heritage, not destroy it in the name of coal mining, ranching, and Trumpian politics!

    Welcome Dearc sgiathanach, our new species of pterosaur from the Middle Jurassic of the Isle of Skye, Scotland! When it was flapping around the heads of dinosaurs 170 million years ago, it was the largest animal that had ever flow in Earth history (that we know of).
