UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

In 48 other states, new moms have access to Medicaid for up to one year after they give birth. Not in Wisconsin.
There, the limit remains two months. And it’s only because of one man: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

If you don’t want to hate read any part of that book, this was a great year for books that are actually good! I’d recommend Great Black Hope by Rob Franklin, Discontent by Beatriz Serrano, Audition by Katie Kitamura, Boom Town by Nic Stone, and The Payback, by me.

OPINION: "Perhaps the most important skill schools can teach children today is the self-awareness to prioritize learning over shortcuts, and to refrain from delegating work to machines until they know how to do it themselves," Jennifer L. Steele writes.
Opinion | Kids Need Stronger Soft Skills in the Age of AI
Jennifer L. Steele writes that teachers still have tools to teach children soft skills even as artificial intelligence becomes more popular.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

One thing Mamdani perfected is “joy campaigning.” He’s a cheerful and personable candidate who has a focused message. There’s a lesson in this for pundits who think “fighting” == “scowl and frown” is the way to signal you’re serious.
When Harris talked about joy she was maligned, but it can work.
