In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests.

Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here."

It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...
ICE Nativity scenes: Churches reimagine Christmas story amid deportations
(RNS) — 'We know that Jesus was born into a Roman imperial occupation, and pretty much immediately becomes a refugee in Egypt, has to flee and faces political violence,' the Rev. Michael Woolf said.

You can’t have war crimes without a war. But you can have murder. Bombing people who are floating on the remains of a wrecked boat that was “broken in half” is murder, whether or not they wanted or intended to try to traffic drugs again in the future. And yes, if it were a war, it’d be a war crime.

It is an extremely important to time to support independent journalism. You may notice that I repost Techdirt's content all the damn time. That's because Mike Masnick is usually right and I think you should know about it.

The level of corruption to pardon a drug kingpin who was convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine while claiming you’re committing war crimes to fight Venezuelan cartels is worse than anything I ever saw in Nigeria.

This is so gross.

A former DEA agent called the release “devastating”: “It means any attempt to work your investigations to the highest levels is meaningless.”

This year, universities are giving $228 million to football coaches who failed at coaching football so that they won't coach football anymore.

IN FAIRNESS this is the kindest possible reaction to Marco Rubio saying words
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Thanks so much for giving Senator Kelly a platform, haters! He's making gorgeous use of it and looking pretty fearless too.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

“'Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale?' Augustine made this suggestion in The City of God. In the country of Trump, we’re getting a convincing demonstration. Justice has been removed and a gang of criminals are in charge."

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

This raises a very real question about how we talk about AI. To call this slop is to downplay the fact that it was published in an esteemed journal. We used to call such things fraud, but this suggests the publisher is innocent. AI has changed the terms of debate. We urgently need new norms.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se
