March For Science targets anti-science Trump policies

WASHINGTON — Thousands of scientists and their supporters, feeling increasingly threatened by the policies of President Trump, gathered in Washington on Saturday for what they called the March for Science, abandoning a tradition of keeping the sciences out of politics and calling on the public to stand up for the scientific enterprise.

Their call was echoed by protesters in hundreds of cities across the United States and around the world, including at marches in Europe and the Asia-Pacific that had already concluded.

In Washington, the rally was just getting underway Saturday morning, with thousands of people packing into the National Mall, some wearing white lab coats and ponchos on a misty day. Marchers carried signs calling for funding for scientific research — “science is not an alternative fact,” some said. Others noted pointedly that Albert Einstein was a refugee.

The March for Science evolved from a social media campaign into an effort to get people on the streets for the cause of science. Its organizers were motivated by Mr. Trump, who as a presidential candidate disparaged climate change as a hoax and cast suspicions on the safety of vaccines. Their resolve deepened, they said, when the president appointed cabinet members who seemed hostile to the sciences and then proposed a budget that would cut funding for research across the federal government.

Organizers said they hoped the day’s demonstrations result in sustained, coordinated action aimed at persuading elected officials to adopt policies consistent with the scientific consensus on climate change, vaccines and other issues.

Good. It's time to start acknowledging the reality as it is, not as some irresponsible and uneducated politicians like to see it.

They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. That is against their interests. They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, but dumb enough to not realize how badly they are getting ****ed"

Liberal people are hardworking Americans. Stop talking about things you don't understand.

That's why working class voters voted for Trump.  Are you going to argue with statistics again?

I am not going to show you the map "if only taxpayers voted" not to embarrass you even more, sweetheart.

I argued with your first statistics because you were wrong. College educated people voted for Clinton over Trump. 

Ivy League schools are Private. (And by the way, in the Northeast, which is a more liberal area of the country to start out with)

Taxes fund education. Americans pay taxes on services they don't use.

Liberal people are teachers, fireman, nurses, etc. 

Three million more people voted for a Democrat. That means more taxpayers voted for a Democrat. 

 

Do you even live in the US? You don't seem to understand the basics of how our system works or that people live here that are POC and other minorities. Or are you just trolling?
