If you have any interest at all in science, you should have an interest in the accurate dissemination of science, and the ability of scientists to speak freely about their results without fear of political persecution.

I do, but if I subscribe to the science community it's to see articles on new discoveries in physics, mathematics, astronomy, paleontology, etc., in my feed, not hot button political/cultural themed "studies".

If you want a science news community, you'll need to start one, ask someone else to start one, or twiddle your thumbs. Content is going where it belongs.
