Got it! I knew about the Reichstag fire, but thought you were referring to something that had already occurred here. It is a terrifying thought, and little wonder we are not getting much sleep, these days.....

This country needs all the neurosurgeons it can get right now. Between the people who voted for Trump, who need their head examined, and the brainless (and spineless) in DC, we need neurosurgeons. 

For fuck’s sake, they even have a supervillain acronym name.

I for one am just going to trust Dear Leader Drumpf that these are the Bad Hombres he was warning us about. Obviously their surgical skills and dedication to their patients pose a clear and immediate danger to the nation.

This given me hope, I gotta tell you.

100% right.

These deportations have nothing to do with keeping america safe. This is how it begins:

Nothing wrong with white males going. Nothing wrong with non-white, non-males going. Thats kind of the point of having it being an inclusive, supportive march.

Agreed. The more supporters the stronger the message.

Exactly. Someone who is a a moderate liberal needs to run for president and use the slogan, Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good!

Internet Liberaling 101: If it’s not everything you want immediately, it’s the evil sellout bastard offspring of Dick Cheney and Margaret Thatcher, wrapped in a KKK hood.

This. The current administration’s dangerously anti-science rhetoric and policies stand a very real chance of destroying the environment that supports all of our lives, but they picked a white guy to be on their board so I guess we all have to stay home and protest the protest. Can we just have one nice thing?

Well, obviously you should go! Science needs as many supporters as it can get right now.

Now I’m conflicted - if I go, I’m just another white, male there, but if I stay home, I’m exercising my privilege. It feels like a paradox.

A graduate degree and doctorate are nice things to have but i don’t see how lack of such disqualifies him. He’s a mechanical engineer with experience at Boeing and lectures at Cornell. People listen to highly influential people a whole lot dumber than Bill Nye.

Exactly, the vast majority of people in our country are not scientists, and while it would be nice to think that people would believe scientists, people need a figure they can look to listen to when it comes to representation of the scientific community, especially since the current admin basically has loony tunes in…

We’re great at losing. The best. We’re going to do so much losing. You’re going to be sick and tired of losing all the time.

Amazing. In a time where we have a lunatic like Trump in the white house, with a GOP controlled congress, that the left still finds the time to cannibalize itself instead of accomplishing anything.

I’m still planning on going, because the only way it is going to get less male and less white is if non-male and non-white people get involved. Plus, I believe that science is a real thing and not a hoax made up by the Chinese.

It is indeed good to give the movement a face that people in and out of the science field recognize. Bill Nye does just that. Ideally the job could have been given to Neil deGrasse-Tyson and you’d accomplish the same thing.
