If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.”

Christian, If You're Supporting ICE, You Shouldn't Be Celebrating Christmas

Trump is so predictable. His Christmas posts were filled with hate and hostility. Almost word for word of the ones he posts every day. Americans know this is not normal or presidential. He has no filter or self control. Maga says he is being authentic, no, he just thinks he is invincible

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?”

“Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥

"It's A Wonderful Life" isn't just a feel-good holiday classic (and my favorite movie of all time).

It's also a warning about what happens when greed runs the economy.

This is VERY high up on my list of things we need to do better in 2026: Find a way to use the Admin's claim they oppose antisemitism to impose a cost for the antisemitism they routinely push out.

There's literally an EO forbidding federal funding for antisemitism!
As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.

UPDATE: Speaker Sexton’s @TNHighwayPatrol driver speeding through NASHVILLE and refusing to pull over, then getting into a confrontation with MNPD, has made national news.

Again: The TN GOP supermajority thinks laws don’t apply to them.

Nöel Coward called his style of work ‘touch and Gauguin,’ and although this sounds pretentious, it was his way of describing the colours he used. The majority of his paintings are of Jamaica; he first visited the island with Ian Fleming, in 1948.

A grandmother will spend Christmas with her family after ICE held her for nearly five months. She’s had a green card for 30+ years and lived in the U.S. since childhood. Her detention ended only after public and congressional pressure.

You know how Americans are surprised to learn that gun deaths are rare in most other countries, pedestrian-centered cities are normal, or everybody else uses metric? That, but discovering that the rest of the world moved to EVs.
It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs!

It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

In any case, if you don't start your discussion of "trust" in the media by understanding the right's well-planned, well-funded, methodical effort to destroy that trust, you're a sucker playing right into their hands.

Ironically, Bari Weiss' version of "rebuilding trust" - making the news way more conservative and credulous toward Trump - would rebuild trust among the right. Once the big news orgs are completely captured by far-right oligarchs, they'll trust the news again! They just won't be doing journalism.

The right spent decades screaming "Everything the mainstream media says is a lie, don't trust them!" then even gullible well-intentioned journalists ask "How can we rebuild trust?" and they think solid reporting will do the trick. That completely misunderstands what brought us to this point.
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Sooner or later and probably sooner than later, the regime’s racist policy of snatch, grab, and deport is going to impact every Americans food supply. One has to wonder if that’s the goal!

The people that were working on farms aren’t the problem! The immigration policy is broken!
