@JJLiebig People want their representatives to step up and stop this madness, but no one's got the balls to stand up the orange in chief. Apathetic isn't how I'd describe it, more angry and completely unsure of how to make any meaningful change.
@JJLiebig The majority of Americans were lied to, and many believed the lies. I think it also boils down to a lack of clear avenues for an individual citizen to make a difference. If our elected representatives aren't representing their constituents, there's not much a single person can do
@smartereveryday And this post has become a beacon for right-wing bots to do the same. I understand we may differ politically, but this is sad to see as a long time fan of yours Destin. Peaceful protest at the current middle school bully mindset of the American government should be encouraged.
@jaredpolis@RobertKennedyJr As a research scientist in your state, yikes man. Spin it however you like, but RFK does not follow science and should not be in a position of power over it. I'm glad @hankgreen already worded it better than I ever could, but damn, this is disappointing.
@Prokaryota As a second year grad student back in like 2018, I was berated so badly at my poster that the presenter next to me thought the man was my PI. I had just met him. He would ask questions and then cut me off by saying "you're not answering my question" while I was trying to answer.
