I've been trying to figure out what's really at stake with "viewpoint diversity." Obviously, it's not about hiring a slew of anarcho-syndicalist chemists for the sake of filling out the viewpoint spectrum.

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.
Now think about how you feel after last night's election.
You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.
You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.
Remember this.
