NEW PAPER! 🧪⚛️
In this work, we studied how the dynamical and spectral properties of a simple quantum system can be modified under the influence of a "structured" environment that behaves analogously to a topological insulator from condensed matter physics

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

Part of why dealing with the far right is so frustrating is that these people sincerely hate immigrants, LGBT people, and the left at large more than they care about their own personal wellbeing or their own communities. This young woman permanently disfigured herself to “own the libs.” Incredible.
SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend.
Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

Rest in peace, Mom. Retweets and likes would be incredibly appreciated. If you’re able to spare anything at all, it would mean the world to me. You all have done so much already, but time is not on our side with this. Thank you all. 💙

I’ve been skeptical of McBride’s play-nice-with-bigots approach, but I will give her credit for achieving some meaningful success here
This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud
House Dems unite to tell GOP to stop "demonizing" trans people with "dehumanizing" slurs - LGBTQ Nation
Rep. Nancy Mace's "tra**y, tra**y, tra**y!" tirade is just one example.

the lesson media people should take from the BBC blow up last week is that no matter how transphobic your editorial bent is, it will never ever ever satisfy the fascists
"One irony of this situation is that while those on the British left tend to defend the BBC on principle, they are often exasperated by its deference to the right-wing press..."

It really says something when one of the prominent voices in MAGA is insisting you consider the difference between a man raping a five year old vs a fifteen year old, while another still insists the masked men dragging entire families out of their homes are really about “protecting children”
I like how this employee of the federal government, a public servant, posts obnoxious replies to people that are replete with right-wing misinformation.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

The President of Colombia plainly states what is happening: Trump is engineering a war in South America to keep his MAGA base radicalized and to distract from the Epstein scandal.
Still waiting for the Democrats to explain it to the American people like this.

Really difficult to overstate the fury one should feel that the GOP and institutions like the New York Times went all in on transphobia as some mortal threat to women and girls while covering up something like this.
When you read these Epstein emails, you start to understand why so many prominent conservatives are obsessed with checking the genitals of children. It's a big thing for them!

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
