Massachusetts Church Keeps Anti-ICE Nativity Scene, Defying Diocese Leaders The Christmas display, which replaces Jesus, Mary and Joseph with a sign saying β€œICE Was Here,” has drawn criticism from Catholic leaders and immigration officials.

Leaders of a Catholic church near Boston kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it.

I'll add that as someone who not that long ago spent many frantic nights looking for information on sleep training, feeding, etc etc--by far the most valuable internet resource was reddit, the only place with human advice. Everything else is basically useless at this point.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

never miss an opportunity to tell someone who thinks they're being clever quoting "voltaire" that actually, voltaire never said it. it's from a 1993 episode of a nazi radio show & the guy who did say it is quite famously a pedophile who was so weird even the other nazis thought he was creepy.

I think a lot of journalists and politicians thought that coming to Bluesky would get them praised and worshipped like it was 2017 Twitter and the fact that didn’t instantly happen has absolutely broken their brains

decided to watch one of my all-time favorite comfort movies, the fugitive. casting real cops as the chicago detectives such a great move. these guys look like they even to this day believe that harrison ford’s character did it. even after seeing the movie

need you to constantly remind yourself that the average normal person has no idea that any of the stuff we are rightly getting upset about is going on. they dont know. and we need to do everything we individually can to make them know.

The FEC has a "Green Card exception" for campaign donations. This means, for $5 million, any Russian, Saudi or Chinese national can buy their way into the United States, then immediately start dumping money into political races. They don't even need to wait for citizenship.

White people on here were getting on my nerves so I deactivated and gave myself a digital vacation. I highly recommend!

Anyway, I’m back. *puts on hair bonnet and grabs sleeping mask* Talk later.

I love when people bring their individual flags to larger diaspora or cultural events. Like a little local census.

The Social Security Administration "eliminated" its civil rights office "Please wait for instructions from the agency to ... report harassment."

UPDATE: Acting SSA Commissioner Dudek has said they will be "reassigning statutory responsibilities performed by this office," but I am yet to see what those plans are β€” and how new people would just ~take over~ those roles when everyone who did those jobs was placed on admin leave today.

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask:

"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"

And see what happens.
