Baller move. Need more churches to do this kind of stuff.
Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

Sydney is a colleague and I'm so angry about how this is likely to impact her and so many others whose only access to health insurance is because of subsidies.
Toward the end of our interview, Sydney said with exasperation what "a giant mess" the ACA changes were causing. Then she apologized, but the expression captured perfectly what many people have been feeling and experiencing.
In Part Two of his series on the fallout from ACA changes @erikgunn.bsky.social reports on the widespread consequences of loss of coverage wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/08/29/a...
