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.

Pretty weird how everyone in America openly understands the sitting president is actively covering up his involvement in a massive pedophilia and human trafficking operation, but we're somehow talking about the "threat" posed by nine-year-old trans girls on soccer teams.

What’s the next likely stage with a network of concentration camps? Forced slave labor. As historian Timothy Snyder urges, CEOs should pledge to not hire these laborers and each of us should pledge not to buy from or invest in companies that do.

‘Parishioners excused.’

That’s how bad it is. A Catholic bishop lifted the obligation to attend Mass because ICE might raid the church.

Mass isn’t required “if a member of the faithful has a genuine fear of immigration enforcement actions.”

The feds should be ashamed. Terrorizing the faithful.

We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations.

On July 17th, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities are mobilizing to ensure #GoodTroubleLivesOn and carry John Lewis’ legacy forward.

Stop pretending. The so-called ICE agents creeping around LA aren’t chasing violent criminals.

If you don’t see the racial profiling, you’re either in denial or fine with it. And since they’re incognito, no one can give a straight answer on how we’re supposed to know they’re even legit.

On this date in 1776 the statue of King George III was pulled down in New York City.

Because America didn't want a king who lived above the law.

I love the way the grasses just gently frame this gorgeous face. When I’m lucky I can just look out my window and see #foxes. This year my cameras have caught them mainly at night or pre dawn . I love them and I’m so fortunate to live in a world in which such beauty exists.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?
