Science is inherently political because it is done by people.
And scientific knowledge has political implications because it tells us about the world around us, and politics is the process by which we decide how our laws will adapt to and affect that world.
None of that is inherently negative!
However, when political expedience and facts conflict, we should adapt the politics to the facts, and not the other way around.
That's what the "march for science" was about.
