In this new era, taking action on redistricting is not optional—it is essential. We know the work ahead will require persistence—but we were built to meet this moment.

One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.
For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

During the pandemic shut down, my farm packed 30,000 boxes of veggies fruit, bread, roasting chickens. Then we rode around n dropped them on doorsteps. Bc we could. Some of my farm workers kids helped by making bouquets and coloring pictures, n including letters of neighbor love.

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.
Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.
