Religious leaders have to lead the fight against ICE terror and fascism, otherwise they are what MLK called an "irrelevant social club." We have to do everything we can and I'm happy to lead a church doing everything it can to fight back, including using our sacred symbols. More on our nativity 👇👇👇
In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests.
Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here."
It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...

ICE Nativity scenes: Churches reimagine Christmas story amid deportations
(RNS) — 'We know that Jesus was born into a Roman imperial occupation, and pretty much immediately becomes a refugee in Egypt, has to flee and faces political violence,' the Rev. Michael Woolf said.

Trump and Hegseth turned the Caribbean into a kill zone—bomb first, invent the crime later. Congress never declared war. There’s no proof, no prosecution, no due process, just dead bodies. When did “drug trafficker” become a license to execute human beings?
These are war crimes, full stop.

this really isn’t an exaggeration
This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."
