In some parts of American Christianity the theology is so flawed, and the culture is so broken, that evangelicals don’t see Trump contradicting their values at all — he’s exactly like the men and women who lead their church. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

Free as the cuddy ducks they named for you,
Loosed by the lord who died to pay your ransom,
You roam the North just as you used to do;
Always on foot and walking with the poor…

Last December, the Geological Society of America announced that the US Advisory Group for #Geoheritage would transfer into the #GSA. The Geoheritage Group will become part of the History and Philosophy of Geology Division. As Chair of the #HPGD, we look forward to working together in years ahead!

The dismantling of USAID has brought immense harm to its beneficiaries, writes Peter Wehner. "Patients have been told to leave refugee hospitals in Thailand. Soup kitchens that feed hundreds of thousands of people in Sudan have been closed."
The Cruel Attack on USAID
Trump’s assault on the aid agency poses a haunting question.
