> Rather, people doubt that they would belong to the over-policed parties

I don't think the people recording regular police interactions and refusing police instructions when stopped ever had any doubt about being over-policed.

> NSF funding from my relatives: "yes, funding has been illegally cut,..."

How is a cut illegal? Does any additional dollar in funding have to persist for all of eternity. For reference:

| FY | NSF appropriation |

| 1952 | $4M |

| 1960 | $153M |

| 1970 | $440M |

| 1980 | $992M |

| 1990 | $2.08B |

| 2000 | $3.91B |

| 2010 | $6.87B |

| 2020 | $8.21B |

| 2024 | $9.06B |

| 2025 | $9.06B |

| 2026 | $8.75B |
