I was badly bullied throughout childhood. Everyone told me to ignore.
But then the bullies did things that became harder & harder to ignore until it ended in violence.
Ignoring is only an option for those with privilege.
I hope ppl learn how to use their privilege for decency and humanity.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
