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.”

A CDC advisory panel's hepatitis B vote shows how deeply RFK Jr.'s influence now shapes national vaccine policy, and how much damage it can still do (via Bloomberg Opinion)
CDC Panel’s Hepatitis B Vaccine Vote Undid Decades of Progress
In a stunning decision that defies all expert advice and scientific evidence, the influential group that shapes US vaccine policy will no longer recommend that all infants receive the hepatitis B vaccination shortly after birth.

After flash floods in Texas’ Hill Country killed more than 100 people, state lawmakers chastised Kerr County leaders for rejecting money to create a flood warning system.

But other communities did the same, arguing the funds didn’t go far enough.

With @texastribune.org: https://propub.li/4rFcHkH
Article excerpt: But Kerr leaders were not the only ones who rejected the state’s offer, ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found. In the five years since the fund’s launch, at least 90 local governments turned down tens of millions of dollars in state grants and loans. Leaders from about 30 local governments that the news organizations spoke with said the state grants paid for so little of the total project costs that they simply could not move forward, even with the program’s offer to cover the rest through interest-free loans. Many hoped the state program would provide grants that paid the bulk of the costs, such as the ones from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which typically supply at least 75%. They believed that they could raise the rest. Instead, many were offered far less. In some cases, the state offered grants that paid for less than 10% of the funding needed.

Remember: RFK Jr. fired his last CDC director because she refused to ram through his anti-vax agenda.

Yesterday, RFK Jr.’s handpicked vaccine skeptics threw out DECADES of settled science — and Donald Trump gave a thumbs-up.

This will hurt American kids and families.

The Justice Department has waged an unprecedented campaign to intimidate states into handing over voters’ private information.

The goal, as @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social & @ariberman.bsky.social report, could result in the unprecedented harassment of individual citizens like you and me.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record.

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.
