The 1990s may have been the most pivotal decade for religious change in modern America. In this episode, we look at Ryan Burge's analysis of young adults and the sharp rise of the religiously unaffiliated during those years. The surprising part of the story is that no single Christian tradition collapsed on its own. Evangelicals, mainline Protestants, Black Protestants, and Catholics all lost ground, while church attendance also weakened. The result was not just a momentary shift but a long-term realignment that still shapes the religious landscape today. The post The Burge Report: Why the 1990s Were the Most Consequential in Modern U.S. Religious History appeared first on Church Answers.
Trademark cancellation is the part of brand protection nobody wants to think about, right up until it becomes the entire meeting agenda.In this article-style episode description, we break down why even a registered trademark can lose protection. The big idea is simple: a trademark registration is powerful, but it is not permanent magic. It has to be used, maintained, documented, and protected like the business asset it is.A trademark can become vulnerable when the owner stops using it, files inaccurate maintenance documents, lets the mark become generic, misrepresents the source of goods or services, or claims protection that does not match actual business activity. In other words, the certificate matters, but what happens after registration matters just as much.For founders and small business owners, the risk often comes from ordinary business changes. Maybe the company pivots. Maybe a product line gets paused. Maybe the brand team updates the logo six times and forgets to tell legal. Maybe the registration still lists goods or services the company no longer offers. None of that automatically destroys a trademark, but it can create weak spots.This discussion also explains why trademark use needs to be consistent. Your website, invoices, product pages, app listings, packaging, sales decks, and social profiles should tell the same brand story. If your trademark evidence looks like it was assembled by five departments during a caffeine shortage, defending the registration may become harder than it needed to be.We also cover genericness, one of the stranger “success problems” in trademark law. If the public starts using your brand name as the name of the product itself, that fame can become dangerous. A trademark should identify one source, not become the lazy shorthand for an entire category. Great for recognition. Terrible for legal sleep quality.The article also updates an older misconception about “offensive” trademarks. Modern U.S. law changed significantly after Supreme Court decisions involving disparaging, immoral, and scandalous marks. So the better business focus is not simply whether a mark bothers people, but whether it is generic, deceptive, abandoned, fraudulent, confusing, functional, improperly maintained, or failing to function as a trademark.The practical takeaway is not panic. It is process. Keep proof of use. Review registrations during rebrands, product launches, funding rounds, acquisitions, and major pivots. Delete goods or services that are no longer in use when appropriate. Monitor competitors. Correct generic use. Treat your trademark like a living asset instead of a framed certificate collecting dust next to the office snack cabinet.This matters because cancellation risk can affect launches, licensing, investor diligence, enforcement, settlements, and rebrands. A competitor blocked by your registration may look for reasons to challenge it. A cleaner, better-documented trademark portfolio gives your business more leverage and fewer unpleasant surprises.If you own a registered trademark, plan to file one, or are wondering whether your current brand protection is as strong as it looks, this piece gives you a practical starting point. It explains the legal risks in plain English, with just enough humor to make trademark maintenance feel slightly less like alphabet soup wearing a tie.Your brand name may be valuable. It may be the thing customers remember, investors recognize, and competitors quietly envy while pretending not to. But value without maintenance is fragile. A strong trademark strategy is not just filing paperwork once; it is building habits that keep the brand name tied to real commercial use. Your brand name may be valuable. Make sure the registration supporting it is accurate, active, and defensible.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

Black Freethinkers: A History of African American Secularism (Northwestern University Press, 2019) by Christopher Cameron, an Associate Professor of history at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, is a precise and nuanced history of African American secularism from the early nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. This text is written with economy and clarity as defined by four concise chapters that detail the major moments in African American history including some discussion of Reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Civil Rights-Black Power era. Traversing nearly two centuries of black thought, from the Antebellum period to the demise of the Black Power era, Black Freethinkers is the first comprehensive historical survey of black free thought. For Cameron, free thought encompasses atheism, agnosticism, deism, paganism and other non-traditional modes of thinking. Cameron's work focuses primarily on the ideas advanced by African American men and women of letters such as Frederick Douglass, Zora Neale Hurston, Nella Larsen, Lorraine Hansberry, and James Baldwin to support his core argument that freethought and “unbelief” have been key elements of Black thought since the era of enslavement to the institutionalization of free thought oriented associations in African American society. Cameron's work forces us to rethink the way we study the era of enslavement and African American culture, and the place of Douglass as an American intellectual central to this history, as well as the role of religion in Black life more generally. In many respects, his text presents a more humanistic portrait of African American thought and culture from a historical perspective that goes well beyond most texts on this subject. Hettie V. Williams Ph.D., has taught survey courses in U.S. history, Western Civilization, and upper division courses on the history of African Americans at the university level for more than fifteen years. Her teaching and research interests include: African American intellectual history, gender in U.S. history, and race/ethnicity studies. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor of African American history in the Department of History and Anthropology at Monmouth University where she teaches courses in African American history and U.S. history. She has published book chapters, essays, and encyclopedia entries and edited/authored five books.

For the first episode of Season 3, I'm talking about Enron and the company's spectacular rise and even more spectacular fall. It's a story about how creativity can sometimes mean stupidity, how culture impacts a company's survival, how hiring decisions matter, how ideas mutate, and how companies that put stock price and profits above all else can easily be the architects of their own demise. And--how blind people can be about a lot of things if what they are doing is making money. Who was responsible for Enron? What were the major causes of its bankruptcy? Who spoke up, and who listened (or didn't?) And what insurance responds when half of your executives are being criminally charged, and the shareholders and creditors are suing everyone they can think of? Join me to find out!

A wildfire, also known as a forest fire or bushfire, is an uncontrolled and rapidly spreading fire that occurs in vegetation-rich areas such as forests, grasslands, and shrublands. It is characterized by its ability to spread quickly across a landscape due to a combination of factors, including dry conditions, high temperatures, low humidity, and the presence of combustible materials like plants, trees, and debris.Wildfires can start from various sources, including natural causes like lightning strikes, or human activities such as discarded cigarette butts, campfires, power lines, and intentional arson. Once ignited, a wildfire can spread rapidly, driven by wind and the availability of fuel. The flames can move across vast areas, consuming everything in their path, including trees, vegetation, homes, and infrastructure.The stages of a wildfire typically include:Ignition: The initial source of ignition, whether natural or human-caused, starts the fire.Combustion and Spread: As the fire consumes available fuel, it generates heat, flames, and smoke. Wind plays a significant role in carrying embers and firebrands ahead of the main fire front, leading to the rapid expansion of the fire.Growth: The fire expands its perimeter, consuming more vegetation and creating its own weather conditions, including strong winds and intense heat.Maturity: The fire reaches its maximum intensity, with tall flames, high temperatures, and intense heat radiation. Firefighters often concentrate efforts on controlling the fire at this stage to prevent it from spreading further.Decay: As the available fuel diminishes, the fire starts to lose intensity and slow down. This stage can be prolonged by factors such as changing weather conditions or the presence of more fuel.Extinction: The fire is fully controlled and extinguished, either naturally through the exhaustion of fuel or with the assistance of firefighting efforts.Wildfires can have significant ecological, environmental, and socioeconomic impacts. They can destroy ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and plant diversity. They also contribute to air pollution by releasing large amounts of smoke and harmful particulates into the atmosphere. In populated areas, wildfires can threaten human lives, homes, and infrastructure, leading to evacuations, property loss, and, unfortunately, sometimes fatalities.Efforts to manage and mitigate wildfires involve a combination of prevention, early detection, firefighting strategies, and community planning. This includes creating defensible spaces around homes, implementing controlled burns to reduce fuel buildup, establishing firebreaks, and providing resources for firefighting personnel and equipment.As fire crews begin to contain the wildfires and rescue crews start to gain access to the hardest hit areas, the death toll continues to climb and already the number of dead has surpassed the deadliest fire in modern U.S. history and the Governor has said he expects the number to climb.

They can destroy ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and plant diversity. They also contribute to air pollution by releasing large amounts of smoke and harmful particulates into the atmosphere. In populated areas, wildfires can threaten human lives, homes, and infrastructure, leading to evacuations, property loss, and, unfortunately, sometimes fatalities.Efforts to manage and mitigate wildfires involve a combination of prevention, early detection, firefighting strategies, and community planning. This includes creating defensible spaces around homes, implementing controlled burns to reduce fuel buildup, establishing firebreaks, and providing resources for firefighting personnel and equipment.As fire crews begin to contain the wildfires and rescue crews start to gain access to the hardest hit areas, the death toll continues to climb and already the number of dead has surpassed the deadliest fire in modern U.S. history and the Governor has said he expects the number to climb.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Ericka K. Jackson. An adopted White Woman, Dr. Jackson “is a professor of History at Colorado Mesa University and teaches courses in women's and gender history; the history of sexuality; immigration, race and ethnicity; and other courses focused on Modern U.S. History.” Gus was snooping in the university library and found her recently published work, Scandinavians in Chicago: The Origins of White Privilege in Modern America. Pay close attention to Dr. Jackson's response to being asked if her White adoptive parents are Racist. She was born and raised in a Racially Restricted Region of Michigan that was 98% White. It's non-white people continue to experience White Supremacy/Racism when attempting to reside here. Her Adopted parents told Racist Jokes too. Although I've forgotten exactly how or why I located this book, Dr. Jackson offers fascinating insight on what it means to be classified as White. She details how Whites born outside the US migrated to cities like Chicago and “assimilated” to being White Men and White Women. Specifically, so called Scandinavians benefited from being classified as the best of the White “stock.” Consequently, they were able to construct Racially Restricted Regions, accumulate staggering wealth and power - even beyond many native born Whites, all while maintaining “ethnic” pride for the homeland. And mistreating black people. We'll also examine Racist Jokes - which includes dumb blond jokes, the White Supremacist pseudoscience of T. Lothrop Stoddard and Madison Grant, as well as the heavily promoted (racist?) gimmick of tracing your genetic ancestry. #LorneCressLove #PamelaEvansHarris #FrancesCressWelsing #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

In the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, it was clear that the US Army was in desperate need of reform. Its salvation would come in the form of a sarcastic, kinda mean New York lawyer named Elihu Root. Let's get into some spicy, exciting, adrenaline-soaked military reform!Where did I get my info?

Emma hosts Timothy Shenk, Co-Editor of Dissent and Assistant Professor of Modern U.S. History at George Washington University, to discuss his recent book Realigners: Partisan Hacks, Political Visionaries, and the Struggle to Rule American Democracy. First, Emma runs through updates on Sinema jumping right back into working with the Right, Kari Lake's lawsuit against Arizona, and polls revealing that the only thing the public wants less than a Trump candidacy, is a Biden one, before diving deeper into this weekend's Keystone Pipeline spill, and the complete joke that is letting corporations regulate themselves. Timothy Shenk then joins as he dives right into the inspiration he found in the failure of the US political system leading up to the election of Donald Trump, with the inability of either party to build a durable majority following the collapse of the New Deal Coalition in 1968. Next, Shenk jumps back to the 18th Century as he begins the walk through the major political realignment that set up this coalition-stifling system, first parsing through the aristocratic civil war between Federalists and Jeffersonians in the 1790s that set up the two-party system that centered the ability to sway the electorate (rather than the belief in an aristocracy naturally rising to the top), before moving forwards through the 1800s and Andrew Jackson's rallying of a populist coalition of his Jacksonian Democrats to bolster this political party machine. Next, Timothy and Emma explore the shift away from the Jacksonian Democrats as Martin Van Buren and the “Radical Republicans” began to take on the institution of slavery, and walk through the impact of changing party politics in the leadup to the Civil War, before shifting to the third realignment under Lincoln and beyond, as reconstruction's vision of a multiracial democracy began to fall apart. They then discuss the rise of FDR's New Deal Coalition in the 20th Century, as the Great Depression forced Americans to get over their lingering resentment from the Civil War, and for the first time centered class as the major political divide in the US, before they wrap up the interview by walking through the Right's various coalition attempts (largely shrouded in a populist veneer) from Phyllis Schlafly to Donald Trump and tackling the failure of Democrats to ever see a return of FDR's labor coalition. And in the Fun Half: Emma and the crew bask in the jeers Elon Musk received at Dave Chapelle's recent SF show, despite Dave's best efforts, Jesse James from the Hudson Valley dives into reactionaries and pop-culture race swaps, and Sunil from San Jose discusses various elements of Democrats' campaigning strategies. They also tackle Christian Walker refusing to back down to the weirdos on the Right that blame him for his father's loss, Zack from Missouri discusses the role of religion in various elements of our politics, and Serena from Tucson walks through serious tenants' rights issues going on in her complex, plus, your calls and IMs!

Carlos De Toro, 78th Secretary of the U.S. Navy, expects the Midshipmen of his alma mater to “Beat Army” in the 123rd rendition of the classic rivalry, but he knows the triple option tactics of years past won't be enough. Winning on today's gridiron needs new skills and strategies. The same is true for his force of 900,000 sailors, marines, reservists and civilians and their $210 Billion annual budget. Sec. Del Toro returned to New York, where he once christened his ship as an officer, to recall the leadership opportunities his country gave him and those awaiting a new generation sailing under America's flag.

To many Americans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the West was simultaneously the greatest symbol of American opportunity, the greatest story of its history, and the imagined blank slate on which the country's future would be written. From the Spanish-American War in 1898 to the Great Depression's end, from the Mississippi to the Pacific, policymakers at various levels and large-scale corporate investors, along with those living in the West and its borderlands, struggled over who would define modernity, who would participate in the modern American West, and who would be excluded. In Making a Modern U.S. West: The Contested Terrain of a Region and Its Borders, 1898-1940 (U Nebraska Press, 2022)Sarah Deutsch surveys the history of the U.S. West from 1898 to 1940. Centering what is often relegated to the margins in histories of the region--the flows of people, capital, and ideas across borders--Deutsch attends to the region's role in constructing U.S. racial formations and argues that the West as a region was as important as the South in constructing the United States as a "white man's country." While this racial formation was linked to claims of modernity and progress by powerful players, Deutsch shows that visions of what constituted modernity were deeply contested by others. This expansive volume presents the most thorough examination to date of the American West from the late 1890s to the eve of World War II. Dr. Stephen R. Hausmann is an assistant professor of history at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota. Learn more about your ad choices.

In less than half a century, the American West changed dramatically from a region of dynamic borders, politics, and identities to a more fixed zone of borders and demarcations. This is the argument made by Sarah Deutsch, professor of history at Duke University, in Making a Modern U.S. West: The Contested Terrain of a Region and Its Borders, 1898-1940 (U Nebraska Press, 2022), a major new synthetic work and part of Nebraska's History of the American West series. In this wide ranging and transnational book. Deutsch connects movements often seen as separate, such radical organizing in the labor movement, in Mexican politics, and women's suffrage, to make the case that Western politics in the early 20th century were particularly unsettled, the region's political future yet undecided. Similarly fluid dynamics defined racial and sexual histories of the region. It was World War I and the years following when the US government found the tools it deemed necessary to define and categorize people and places in ways that would curtail this fluidity. A remarkable work, Deutsch strongly makes the case that the early 20th century was a crucial period for defining how exactly the modern US West would look. Dr. Stephen R.

Beth is one of the most respected and generous people in the field of military history, and we are pleased that she made the time to sit down with us today. She's come far from parents who sat in the flea-infested Fox Theater in Atlanta on their first date and for one who is agnostic about Kansas basketball (living dangerously like that in Lawrence!)! Follow Beth on Twitter @BethLynnBailey. BONUS - Beth and her husband historian David Farber have one of the most spectacular prairie homes you'll ever see. Check out their Kansas Longhouse outside Lawrence. Rec. 01/25/2022

In this conversation, Migration Policy Institute Senior Fellow Doris Meissner speaks with Policy Analyst Ariel Ruiz Soto about how to build an immigration system that reflects today's realities and builds in the flexibility to adapt to future developments.

Black women intellectuals have traditionally been overlooked in the academic study of American intellectual history. Bury My Heart in a Free Land: Black Women Intellectuals in Modern U.S. History (Praeger) highlights the important contributions of both well- and lesser-known abolitionists, civil rights activists, preachers, writers, and artists to all spheres of American life and culture, arguing that Black women and their ideas were central to some of the most important social and political campaigns of the 19th and 20th centuries. In this conversation Dr. Hettie V. Williams (Assistant Professor of African American History at Monmouth University), editor, discusses defining and redefining the public intellectual, the various pathways that Black women took into public life, the African American women's club movement, the impact of bell hooks and Audre Lorde on scholarship around Black sexuality, and bringing Black women's history into the college classroom. Diana Dukhanova is Visiting Assistant Professor of Russian at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. Her work focuses on religion and sexuality in Russian cultural history, and she is currently working on a monograph about Russian religious philosopher Vasily Rozanov.
