Physicists will spend $10 billion on a particle accelerator to understand why there is an "unnatural" hierarchy between the Planck scale and the weak scale, then insist that philosophy has no role and we should shut up and calculate.

Lots of ICE in Massachusetts these days. Saving, sharing, and spreading this information will help keep good people safe from masked kidnappings. Especially if you're not at risk yourself, use your voice and privilege to spread this knowledge. It will save lives.

This is an infographic designed to inform individuals in Massachusetts about how to respond if they see ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) activity. It provides a hotline number and outlines the services offered by LUCE (Massachusetts ICE Watch), an organization focused on community support and rights education regarding ICE enforcement.

English:

See ICE?
Here’s what to do.

DO NOT Engage
Remain nonviolent at all times. Do not give them an opportunity to charge you with real crimes.

Alert People
Yell "La Migra! Immigration!" to let people in the area know.

Video Everything
Keep a safe distance and record from your phone. Be sure to get a license plate if able.

Call a Hotline
If you're in Massachusetts, call the LUCE hotline at 617-370-5023. Do not call police; they cannot interfere with ICE.

Get Names
You have the right to ask for the agent’s name and badge number. Do so!

Check for a Warrant
Agents must have a warrant signed by a judge. You have a right to ask and see it.

Stay Silent
You have the right to remain silent even if you are taken by agents. Ask for a lawyer but say nothing else.

Stay informed, speak out, know your rights, remain nonviolent.
This is authoritarianism, and it is our job as Americans to protect our country.

Peça Nomes
Você tem o direito de pedir o nome e o número da identificação do agente. Faça isso!

Peça para Ver o Mandado
Os agentes precisam ter um mandado assinado por um juiz. Você tem o direito de pedir e ver.

Fique em Silêncio
Você tem o direito de permanecer em silêncio mesmo se for detido. Peça um advogado e não diga mais nada.

Informe-se, manifeste-se, conheça seus direitos, permaneça não violento.
Isso é autoritarismo, e é nosso dever como americanos proteger nosso país.

Check it out I found an ant tending to its aphid farm! Ant friend is in the front keeping the farm clean and tidy and the aphid cow buddies are the black clustered at the base of the branch in the back. #entomology #ants #insects #inverts

A macro photograph captures a black ant on a vibrant green leaf with serrated edges. The ant is positioned near a cluster of small, dark-colored aphids attached to the stem. The ant's antennae are extended forward, and its body is slightly arched, suggesting interaction with the aphids. The background is softly blurred, highlighting the detailed textures of the ant's exoskeleton and the leaf's surface.

An orbital image of the Martian surface taken by Tianwen-1, showing the region of Protonilus Mensae in the Ismenius Lacus quadrangle. The landscape features a mix of rugged, eroded mesas and numerous impact craters. Near the bottom, an eroded landform resembles the shape of an ancient riverbed. The terrain varies in colour from warm rusty reddish tones to more brownish, with contrasting light and dark shading that reveals surface textures and elevation changes. Very light cloud cover is visible near the top of the image, softening the details in that region. Toward the right side, a distinct, bright white cloud casts a soft shadow, standing out sharply against the rusty ground. The overall scene conveys the dry and rocky, yet ancient and geologically complex nature of the Martian terrain.
