Hey it sounds like he's been reading the Magnificat
James Talarico: Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping on the streets? I’m all for success, but this is not success. This is hoarding. The reason poverty still exists in the wealthiest country in history is not because we can’t feed the poor. It’s because we can’t satisfy the rich

Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.
So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Forcing women out of the job market and back into the home. Sounds like a win-win from a certain conservative perspective.
The impact of ICE arrests is extending into America's child care system: It's reducing the number of immigrant child care workers available — and prompting U.S. mothers with young children to leave their jobs as they scramble for stable care. 19thnews.org/2025/12/ice-...
ICE arrests are forcing American moms to leave their jobs
A new analysis shows that increased immigration enforcement is reducing labor in the child care workforce. The ripple effect is impacting mothers with young children.

I wrote for Baptist News Global about book bans as a religious freedom issue. I would like for my friends of faith to reconsider the freedom to read as an issue of religious freedom. The right to read is inseparable from our larger fight for religious freedom in this country.

Jeopardy tonight had Ron, identical twin brother of a former champ named Ray. @kenjennings.bsky.social asked how we know for sure it's not Ray playing again under a fake name. Ron pointed out Ray in the audience. But how do we know the brothers haven't pulled a Parent Trap?

Do regular MAGA folk actually believe he controls the weather? This is a serious question. Why'd he let hurricanes hit during his first term? Did he get new powers???

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.
The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.
