Glad you liked my reply. Let me reiterate my invitation to add your signature to our climate crisis letter & Christian Clergy Letter explaining how religion & science can be compatible. Please join more than 18,000 clergy. Let me know how you'd like your signature block to appear & I'll do the rest.

Absolutely insane!

And so many of us seem to be enabling them, even celebrating their cruelty! We're better than this - or we should be.

We all knew that the Trump regime's cut to USAID was going to have deadly consequences. The great work of @propublica.org demonstrates just how grave those consequences have been. Together we need to ensure that people learn of this horror & together we need to push back. We're stronger together.

Sure it is!

Thanks very much for your support over the years & for your important words. Best wishes in retirement. Please share information about The Clergy Letter Project so we can continue to reach more people with our message about #climatechange #science & #religion in its best form!

Indeed. 843 rabbis from across the United States have signed on making it clear that #evolution & #Judaism are not in conflict & that one narrow view of religion being taught in science classes infringes on the religious rights of others as well as making a mockery of science. @theradr.bsky.social

Thank you! I've proudly added your signature to our #climatecrisis letter. Please share it with colleagues who might also want to sign on. (It's a shame we need to be doing this - but we do!) Together we are making a difference.

Thanks. Different indeed, but most Christian leaders find his views abhorrent. Take a look at their statement on Climate Change & please add your signature to clergy from 15 countries. Let me know how you'd like your signature block to appear and I'll do the rest. Together we can make a difference.

4/4 Rabbis, UU clergy members, Buddhist clergy members & Humanist clergy members also signed letters saying their beliefs are consistent with evolution & that #evolution rather than #religion should be taught in public schools. Read their statements and share. Help protect science education.

3/4 A statement endorsed by more than 15700 Christian clergy members demands evolution rather than religion be taught in public school science classes stating that religion & science are complimentary but different ways of viewing the world. Read their statement and share widely.

Rafael Cruz, father of Ted Cruz, wants Texas to require school lessons about “evil” of communism The prominent right-wing pastor told state lawmakers that an anti-communist curriculum is crucial to reaffirming that America is a “Christian country.”

2/4 Cruz’s claims that atheism and evolution are inherently un-American are absolutely frightening but are in vogue in Texas which is increasingly bringing Christian Nationalism and Christian Dominionism into public schools. Many religious leaders are appalled, especially The Clergy Letter Project

1/4 Ted Cruz’s father, Rev. Rafael Cruz, said teaching evolution in public schools is inherently un-American because it contradicts his belief the United States is a Christian country. Happily more than 15700 Christian clergy disagree with him. Join them in the effort to protect science education.

We also need people speaking out - like the 1250 #clergy from 15 countries who have signed the #climatecrisis letter calling for immediate action, recognizing that the poorest among us are being impacted the most. DM me to add your signature. Together we can make a difference. Thanks.

In addition to teaching students to care for creation, #clergy are also speaking out about taking action to protect us from #climatechange. More than 1200 from 15 countries have signed the Climate Crisis Letter calling for immediate action. Clergy can DM me to have their signature added.

Yes, for sure. But it's well worth noting that not all clergy are silent about the critical importance of #climatechange. The Clergy Letter Project has a Climate Crisis Letter endorsed by #clergy from 15 countries calling for immediate action explaining how the neediest are most at risk. Join them!

But we have to work to resist - together! Even with those with whom we might not agree on all things. I love your passion!

Thankfully religious leaders are pushing back against authoritarianism. As law firms universities & corporations capitulate to extortion from Trump NON-Christian Nationalists are standing firm. This petition urges the constitution be followed. If religious leaders can stand up to a bully, so can we.

👍

And they're doing a remarkably good job of delivering on that campaign promise.

4/4 They know it doesn’t conflict with their religious beliefs. It’s frightening when clergy are more supportive of science than is the US government. But that’s where we are now & we must speak out about this insanity. #scienceappreciationday #vaccine #vaccinesafety #religion #science

3/4 As a PhD scientist I welcome the celebration while decrying the attacks. We’re all less safe & healthy because of Trump’s actions. I’m heartened by the support for #science from thousands of #clergy from The Clergy Letter Project. They understand the importance of science…

2/4 Attack is coming from all parts of the Trump administration. #Vaccine usage is being undermined, NIH funding is being decimated, NOAA funding is disappearing, CDC personnel can’t publish results freely, cancer research is being cut. Top scientists are leaving to work in other countries…

1/3 Today 3/26 is #science appreciation day in US. Why today? To commemorate the day 72 years ago Jonas Salk announced development of polio #vaccine saving untold lives & easing growing panic about #polio. The day celebrates scientific advances in many fields. But today science is under attack...

You've certainly said that very well, thanks. Please share this statement from 1000s of clergy about this exact issue & the damage Trump's policies are doing to our communities and the most vulnerable among us. These actions must stop. We must come together to create a fairer, more humane world.
