Marching for Science!

I will say this for the Trump Administration--lots of people are getting their exercise on--their marching feet, their exercise of free speech, their exercise of free thought. This was shown in abundance today all over with brilliant signs and support for empirical data and stuff.  Now, I don't know to what extent this will impress a group of folks in the White House who just don't seem to get it, but I think the whole thing was a great demonstration, if not for the silly people who don't realize that ones' politics doesn't affect the facts, then for people who get why science matters, and genuinely want to discuss policies that don't ignore "inconvenient truths".

(Word has it, the marches eclipsed You-Know-Who's inauguration. Period.)
