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.

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...

Reminder that Mike Johnson was dean of a law school that was named after a notorious Texas pedophile judge (everyone knew!) and the law school never opened its doors because it failed accreditation standards.

I need every cis person who is framing the OU situation as an academic controversy to read this for the context they are missing and so desperately need to be loudly fighting against.
