WRT the question about NIH, the steps are political not scientific sadly.

And thus, we return to my prior point as politics is rhetoric and the rhetoric from the left/pro-sci folks is troubling/contradictory.

I worry that left/pro-sci ppl are lost in a sea of contradictory virtue signalling while those who impose cuts present a unified front.

So one major point of the article would be that the march was bad because there wasn't a clear goal. I can buy that.

I don't believe it's explicitly stated that the march was "bad" but yes, roughly that's inline with the article's point.

I think I outlined what I think the article's points are BTW. I think we read things differently though.

Fair enough and I hope I'm not sounding overly aggressive. I'm just wondering what the political solution is.

You come off as angry — but why would we not be! I think scientists (and others) have every right to be angry by the state of the world.

I do not have a political/rhetorical solution sadly. Sorry.

Not sure there is a clear one in every case. One does the best one can, I guess. With the knowledge that maybe they're making things worse

OK — well I'm not even sure what we disagree on any more, but I hope to have at least made some impression.

Absolutely. Without a doubt it's important to do some soul searching within the sci community
