Los Angeles leaders are demanding answers after federal immigration agents
reportedly detained more than 100 U.S. citizens in recent enforcement operations across Southern California.
Standing alongside immigrant rights groups in downtown Los Angeles on Monday,
Mayor Karen Bass and Rep. Robert Garcia
announced plans to launch a major investigation into the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) conduct,
pledging to hold a congressional hearing in Los Angeles to…

"Countries with state subsidies for abortion, transgender-friendly policies for children, hate speech laws and affirmative action policies will now be considered to be violating human rights under rules imposed at the State Department that will impact how the agency conducts its annual Human Rights Report."

The California Supreme Court rejected a First Amendment challenge to a state law that protects the rights of gay and transgender people in nursing homes and forbids employees of those sites from using the wrong pronouns to address a resident or coworker.
The ruling, handed down today, held that violations of the"LGBT Long-Term Care Residents’ Bill of Rights" are not protected by the First Amendment because they relate to codes of conduct in what is effectively both a workplace…

California Supreme Court rejects free speech challenge to LGBT protections in nursing homes
A 2017 California law is meant to protect the rights of gay and transgender people in nursing homes, including by forbidding employees from misgendering those patients

Search for a resonance decaying into a scalar particle and a Higgs boson in the final state with two bottom quarks and two photons with 199 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at $\sqrt{s}$=13 TeV and $\sqrt{s}$=13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector
A search for the resonant production of a heavy scalar $X$ decaying into a Higgs boson and a lighter scalar $S$, through the process $X \rightarrow S (\rightarrow b \bar{b})H ( \rightarrow γγ)$, where the two photons are consistent with the Higgs boson decay, is performed. The search is conducted using integrated luminosities of 140 fb$^{-1}$ and 58.6 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of 13 TeV and 13.6 TeV respectively, recorded with the ATLAS detector at t…

Two Modes of Reflection: How Temporal, Spatial, and Social Distances Affect Reflective Writing in Family Caregiving
Writing about personal experiences can improve well-being, but for family caregivers, fixed or user-initiated schedules often miss the right moments. Drawing on Construal Level Theory, we conducted a three-week field study with 47 caregivers using a chatbot that delivered daily reflective writing prompts and captured temporal, spatial, and social contexts. We collected 958 writing entries, resulting in 5,412 coded segments. Our Analysis revealed two reflective modes. Under proximal conditions, …

Tell me, where does my reasoning go wrong?
If:
1. The conductor cannot tell if a child is less than 4 years old visually, and requires a birth certificate.
2. The birth certificate suffices to determine the age, even though it provides no reliable way of confirming the child's identity.
Therefore I should also be able to travel free as "a child less than 4 years old", provided that I have an appropriate birth certificate on me, right?

Dynamically tuneable helicity in twisted electromagnetic resonators
We report the generation of helical electromagnetic radiation in a microwave cavity resonator, achieved by introducing mirror asymmetry, i.e., chirality, through a controlled geometric twist of the conducting boundary conditions. The emergence of electromagnetic helicity is attributed to a nonzero spatial overlap between the electric and magnetic mode eigenvectors, quantified by $\text{Im}\left[\vec{\mathbf{E}}_i(\vec{r})\cdot{\vec{\mathbf{H}}}_i^*(\vec{r})\right]$, a feature not observed in co…
