I grew up in LA. None of the protests in the Trump years have come close to the 1992 riots which were a genuine crisis in some areas of the city. This is all just manufactured BS. The city was nowhere near in danger like sheās suggesting, friends in the area said the city was operating normally. š

So true. The measles outbreaks the US and Canada are experiencing right now is a perfect example. Itās genuinely wild to think that diseases that were once rare/kept in check are at risk of becoming common again. I will completely lose it if Polio gets a foothold here in the States once again.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

Sheās out of her mind. I know people of various faiths that conduct research and donāt seem to find science a threat to their faith. There are many scientists we celebrate today that were Christians, too, so her arguments fall flat if sheās trying to make science out to be a pagan only play space.
