I'm announcing a new political party: The Build the Trains Party
We have one issue: building the trains (we're for it).
Where should they be built? How should they be built? Who should build them?
Reasonable people can disagree on these questions but we agree on this:
The trains. (Build them.)

“A huge 89% majority of the world’s people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the climate crisis, but feel they are trapped in a self-fulfilling “spiral of silence” because they mistakenly believe they are in a minority, research suggests.”

Reminder that the term “peer review” was introduced precisely to avoid political meddling in funding decisions
Cancelling research grants that were peer reviewed, recommended & awarded because it threatens the current regime’s political agenda is the real infringement of our rights + a violation of the NSF’s duty to honor contracts & ethically manage public funds appropriated by the US Congress. 12/
