    As is true for all Mammals, we nurture, care for, and protect our young. So I’m guessing that if we were Bears, ICE agents who separated children from their parents would have all been mauled by now.

        Mammals in general, and Bear behaviors in particular, are not political.

        Pretty much. A) pointing out someone telling Dr. Tyson to not talk politics because they don’t agree. B) telling him to not talk about it aka “stick to science” unless it comes to climate change were, I assume, they don’t agree. Irony is hard now.

        Unfortunately in ‘Merica 18 we have too. Take 30 seconds to look over my feed and anyone would have understood my point.

        Spare me, everyone gets to have an opinion. A ton of people follow Neil for his extensive knowledge in astrophysics. I was unaware people follow him for his political opinions.

        I don't see a hint of his opinion on the matter in that tweet. All Neil did was relate the situation going on to actual natural mammalian science. Any political opinion is your own projection.
