5. SO, YEAH. YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT YOUR ACTIVIST SHOES ON. Unless you want to be a bystander while millions die because MAGA has wielded pseudo-science bullshit to prop up fresh eugenic flavored policies. Again, this isn’t comfortable. We aren’t used to this. It’s not our “culture”. And yet…

Kudos for speaking out Colette. Yes, a key issue is that it's hard to step outside of usual roles--as a scientist, as a doctor, as a public official, as educators etc etc. But if ALL who believe in science and democracy do not stretch now we will lose our democracy and lose our science.

There isn’t a middle ground. You DO have to get political. It IS going to mean “looking like you’re taking a side” because…you do have to take a fucking side. There are lives at stake, a democracy at stake, and the collapse of our society at stake. Reimagine yourself as an activist.
