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.”

Sen. Mark Kelly said he has read the Justice Department's classified legal rationale for destroying alleged drug boats and that it should be released.
If he truly believes the public deserves to know, he should read the memo into the Congressional Record.

Railroads will be allowed to reduce inspections and rely more on technology to spot track problems

America can’t have universal healthcare because then it would be in the government’s interest to save money on it by making all the mega corps not be allowed to so easily harm us with their lack of consumer protection or workers safety and that’s just anticapitalist to care about others like that

Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.
Eurovision has allowed Israel to compete in 2026.
Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, and the Netherlands have pulled out of the competition following the decision.

According to survey data from the DOJ itself, incarcerated trans Americans experience sexual violence at more than 12x the rate of other incarcerated people.
The plans outlined in the memo effectively greenlight discrimination against LGBTQIA+ people who are already disproportionately at risk.

SCOTUS conservatives just blessed the Texas GOP's gerrymander. It'll be used next year.
They stay the lower-court ruling, written by a Trump-appointed judge, that found the gerrymander to be illegal.
While no clear vote, Alito wrote a concurrence; and only the three liberal justices dissented.
