Anyone with an internationally adopted kid or gave birth while serving the USG abroad has got to see this and be really nervous about their kid's safety
"Where were you born" can be a very complicated story and doesn't have as much to do with citizenship status as it's implied.

The Trump regime just got CAUGHT in a massive LIE — and they finally ADMITTED it.
After weeks of screaming “fake news,” the White House just CONFIRMED that the second U.S. strike in Venezuela DID happen… and it was authorized by Pete Hegseth himself — Trump’s handpicked warmonger.

This is utter madness. Kafka himself would not have dared depict such a bizarre inversion of sense and decency.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

We need to talk about the massive loophole that the Supreme Court just carved into election law over the shadow docket—giving states a free pass to enact patently unconstitutional voting rules within nearly *one year* of an election.

The people who claim the Pope is wrong about what it says in the bible are the worst people in the world... who knew?
Note: Fox ran a segment on the Chicago ICE Nativity, which is at the church of a pastor who recently went viral for being arrested while protesting ICE.
That pastor told me the church has since seen an influx of volatile messages.
“There’s been some suggestions that I should kill myself,” he said.

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...

It turns out putting mediocre white men in charge of everything is a bad idea.
So not only were we busy telling the world what we were doing on insecure Signal chats, we were shooting down our own people at the same time. It has costs to put incompetent people in charge of national security, and I fear we are just beginning to pay them.
