Not just in #Massachusetts... I'm not big on organized religion, but if you're going to practice it, at least be consistent with your principles (like the folks who set-up these displays)!

DEDHAM, Mass. (AP) — "One baby Jesus lays in a manger in the snow, wrapped in a silver emergency blanket with his wrists zip-tied. Mary stands nearby outside the #LakeStreetChurch in #EvanstonIL, wearing a plastic gas mask and flanked by #RomanSoldiers in tactical vests labeled 'ICE.'
"In another #Chicago suburb, not far from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility that has drawn protests over detentions, a sign at the manger outside the #UrbanVillageChurch says 'Due to ICE activity in our community the Holy Family is in hiding.' And more than a thousand miles away, the Christ child went missing from a Nativity scene at St. Susanna Parish in #DedhamMa, replaced by a hand-painted sign: 'ICE was here.' "

In 2022, Evanston, IL voted 82% yes to implement ranked choice voting. The office of the Cook County Clerk has refused to enact the people's will. Reform for Illinois is challenging them in court, and we've got their back.
More choices with ranked choice voting. That's the mandate from the people of Evanston.
Featured in the Evanston Roundtable.
