Since this is a 'signed editorial', with an identified author other than the editors or publisher of Scientific American, it's not fully or directly 'Scientific American' that's layering on the political-tribalism. It's common for publications to include such editorials that have no relation (or are even against) the 'house opinion'. (It's somewhat confused further by the fact authorship is credited to an activist group named "500 Women Scientists".)
