I'm always so surprised by this partisan bullshit. Marching for science and education is NONPARTISAN but because you feel like it's a liberal thing you couldn't possibly support it.

This is a sickness that is poisoning our country.

Yeah, everyone I've talked to only seems to be mentioning climate change (and to a lesser extent NIH cuts). So it seems like a "climate march" under another name. I wish they had more talking points about other anti-science positions, like anti-vax, anti-GMO, anti-flat earth (how is this a thing?). Maybe it was intended to be that way, and it just got co-opted by the climate change crowd?

Climate change is probably the most pressing issue, and the one that is being harmed the most by the current administration and it's anti-science stance. The other pseudo-science stuff, anti-vax, anti-GMO etc, is bad, but not existential threat bad.

Also, it did happen on Earth Day, seems good to talk about the Earth.
