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.”

on the one hand we should want people to change their mind so we can stop what's happening now. On the other hand there need to be costs for the ghoulish behavior that got us here, as these people absolutely will do this again given half a chance
In May 2024, "Clinton said students who oppose Israel's policies in Gaza and the West Bank 'don't know very much.'"
"Clinton and a number of European leaders are speaking out now because Israel has already 'carried out their final solution.'"

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

My union! 💚
NYC's largest union—the mighty @dc37nyc.bsky.social—stood with us in the primary when few thought victory was possible. Now they're all in for the general election.
Together, we'll deliver a city where the people who keep it running can afford it too.
From last week's endorsement:

We have to normalize “radical” ideas. Universal housing. Universal healthcare. Universal education. Talk about them everywhere, until people see how absurd it is we don’t have them. Make injustice impossible to ignore by making justice impossible to shut up about.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

I started volunteering as an immigration court watcher after reading an article about Brad Lander doing it. So much respect to him and all the folks standing up to bear witness and get in the way.

It will forever anger me that so many NY State Democratic leaders are backing a known sexual predator to lead New York City just to protect Big Money and corporate greed — and then will continue saying they will “fight for women.”

On 13 June 1912 Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, and a group of suffragettes, smashed windows in Dublin Castle to highlight the woman’s right to vote cause. It was an offence for which she would spent a month in prison.
