I'm not sure what you're trying to say with this post.

Is this image genuine? I didn't see it on the March for Science Twitter.

The march organizers hear these concerns. And they admit they weren’t as careful as they could have been in the early crafting of their messaging. An early version of their website, and a tweet sent out from the official March for Science account, borrowed heavily from language most commonly associated with identity politics. (The diversity language on the March for Science website has since been toned down.)

colonization, racism, immigration, native rights, sexism, ableism, queer-, trans-, intersex-phobia, & econ justice are scientific issues ✊

On Twitter, Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker said such language “compromises” the goals of the march, a comment that read offensive to scientists who feel that diversity issues too often get ignored in science. “You’re saying that me just existing is a partisan issue?” says Danielle Lee, an African-American biologist at Southern Illinois University who writes about diversity issues in science, and took issue with Pinker’s statement (along with others who echoed similar comments).

I think it's an interesting topic/aspect to the march. I do wonder who comprises the organizing and leadership contingent of the march, especially since it appears that the tweet Duff shared has since been deleted?

Edit: Also, thanks for the follow-up on the tweet. Some true Nancy Drews.

i agree with their cause (always have) but these people find the most repulsive ways to go about getting their message across

I see. I mean, I don't personally see a major issue with them taking that position, as I definitely see science as being relevant to things like racism and sexism. That isn't to say those things are the most important aspects and positions for science, but certainly it's part of the larger sum.
