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.”

Infuriating.
Trump's farmer bailout will primarily go to massive row-crop farmers. Big Ag as they say. Smaller and diversified farms are getting something else - it rhymes with shackjit.
Trump is going to dump tens of $ billions in payments for huge commodity farmers to compensate for huge losses they will suffer from his idiotic trade war. Meanwhile, small farmers growing for local markets will get nothing. Just canceled grants and "thoughts and prayers". wapo.st/3YXdAbU

This is good, and should actually make us feel better.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked a ruling that required Trump to fully fund SNAP because she’s playing chess, not checkers. She sent it back to the lower courts for a reason. 👀

@senangusking.bsky.social Are you listening? The health care is NOT negotiable. This cannot all be for naught.

Shut it completely down. No flights out of airports. Nothing moves. We need to hit the streets and keep them full of bodies so that they can’t do a damn thing until they get this healthcare back in for people.

We’re both feds who were forced into retirement and I’m not seeing that paperwork being processed… for people whose “last day” was when everything shut down.

And yet… HOLD THE DAMN LINE!

💯 And if they cave, they are just enabling the GOP regime to continue to break the laws and commit human rights atrocities. It’s not just health care. It’s a referendum.

#Democrats just made federal workers go through weeks without pay for literally NOTHING in return. It was correct to blame Republicans for the shutdown before, but now the entire thing falls on the Democrats. The Republicans understand they are a brand and so they band together & protect each other

I used to think one party was better than the other. Now, I know some individuals are strong but the parties are nothing more than opposite sides of the same coin. Time to abolish both parties.

I’m right there with you! My husband is a Veteran and is working without pay for the V.A. and our young adult son with Autism has no SNAP benefits, but we believe every American deserves affordable healthcare. I’m terribly disappointed in and pissed of by the 8 Dems that got us exactly nowhere! WTF?

This feels like those stories from the Vietnam War where Generals in DC would send hundreds of GIs to their death over a hill significant only because it had a surveyed elevation, only to abandon the hill a week later.
