This Christmas, the Department of Homeland Security is sharing Christian Nationalist propaganda.
Christian Nationalism remains a potent force - one that needs to countered by both apolitical Christianity and secularism.

No one wants “open borders”. We want a functional immigration system that allows people to come to work and seek a better life for their kids … just like your ancestors (and mine) did.

Really remarkable number in here: 62% of independents favor path to legalization over deportations. Trump and Stephen Miller are actively, relentlessly pushing the country in a pro-immigrant direction.
Maybe those who argued against attacking Trump on this due to "salience" fears got this wrong?

New Quinnipiac poll:
57% favor path to legalization for undocs vs 35% who back deporting them
Trump underwater on immigration (44-54) and on deportations (42-55)
Meanwhile DHS's Twitter feed is a white nationalist sewer pit and Gregory Bovino is swaggering around like an occupying general

Immigration judges are "pretermitting" huge swathes of asylum claims on the grounds that the person can be deported to a third country instead — one of the explicit statutory grounds for denying the right to apply for asylum.
This is now happening at large scale nationwide.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

And they wouldn't have been ripe before the tear down happened, right?
Well, then: ‘Department of Justice attorneys said in the filing that the plaintiff’s claims about the East Wing demolition are “moot” because the tear-down cannot be undone.’

Ahmed Al Ahmed, is 43, a father of 2 and owner of a fruit shop in Sutherland, Australia.
Yesterday, he disarmed a terrorist targeting a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach where 12 humans were killed.
Ahmed was unarmed. He was shot twice and is expected to make a full recovery. Hero. 💔
