    I was at one of the local rallies. I think the organizers also know that this event alone won’t be effective & is only the beginning; there will be more to come. A lot more if (and most likely, when) the administration doesn’t comply with the demands.

    Fun fact… My local rally literally featured a startup founder who scaled their company & attracted investors using NIH funding as seed money, and a community college student from a nearby red state. I would imagine that even the most die-hard traditional conservatives would find such stories inspiring/good use of tax payer money… Science support has traditionally been bipartisan too.

    Again, if they don’t comply, more actions would come

    I’m sure many people who are science deniers will point to “the Bible” for facts. Try to quiz them on things in that book, I am sure they couldn’t answer a single question.

    Someone on my Facebook posted a video with cherry picked facts to make Russia look like the good guy over the war with Ukraine. That’s an easily verifiable history. People are dumb.

    That’ll totally teach the people who completely ignore all science always a huge lesson.

      Other than vote what else would you suggest these people do? Just sit back and wait for shit to get worse? At least they are out there doing SOMETHING.
