What inspires someone to pursue physics for life?
From discovering general relativity to the encouragement of mentors, women in our community share the moments that shaped their journeys.
This #InternationalWomensDay we’re celebrating women advancing physics and inspiring the next generation. 🌟
21 minutes ago Farnaz Fassihi The attacks have come on a Saturday morning, the first day of the week in Iran, with millions of people at work and children in school. Residents in Tehran described scenes of panic and chaos.
Tehran is a city of nine million people, with 17 million in the larger metropolitan area.
Saturday is the first day of the week for Iranians.
Millions of people are at work, and children are in school.
Killing Iranians through unprovoked missile strikes is a hell of way to distract everyone from the #EpsteinFiles.
Trump believes in the great powers-spheres of influence theory of international relations in which America’s great power and sphere of influence should extend anywhere he can distract from his domestic failures or enrich himself, ideally both—cost, risk, law and US interests be damned.
In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law
The Brits are doing much better at this than we are.

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

"Loneliness *is* a problem. I am inviting you to contemplate how frequently it is treated as a problem for men and only for men, to be solved by everyone else, by doing work on their behalf that can only ever be considered repair if they do it themselves."

I think @edsbs.bsky.social said it best.
What about the 2 million unreleased Epstein files tho
Listen closely to every word of this
This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later.
Wonder why that is.
This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
Well, here’s another test for mainstream journalism.
He covered a protest at a church where an official was working with ICE. They previously threatened to use laws that protect worship and civil rights against him. More context here: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
My attorney’s statement on the DOJ’s efforts to prosecute me.
MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”
So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

They won’t investigate the murders of Good or Pretti, but they’ll investigate fake 2020 election fraud. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...
This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Murder. Shot in the back three times.
Don’t turn away. Please share.
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.
We are searching for the woman in a red jacket who captured the ICE situation on video. We heard she was taken by federal agents. If anyone has updates, let us know.
Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
FUN FACT:
My favorite part of tonight's election results is that all three of the major trump endorsements (Ciattarelli, Miyares, and Cuomo) LOST bigly.
And trump handed out 53 down-ballot endorsements in New Jersey and Virginia. THEY ALL LOST.
Every. Last. One.
