Today we celebrate the birth of Christ—but if we’re going to celebrate Him, we need to be honest about who He actually was.
Jesus was not born in December, but He was born, so we celebrate. He was not a white man, He was brown-skinned and, by today’s standards, would be considered Black.
He was born in what was then Northeast Africa. He was African. He was a refugee fleeing state violence. He was a revolutionary who challenged empire, exposed hypocrisy, and stood with the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized.
Jesus does not belong to white evangelical theology, Christian nationalism, or white supremacy. He was not a mascot for power, He was a threat to it.
So as we celebrate Christmas, let’s stop remaking Jesus in the image of whiteness and empire, and start following the Jesus who walked with the least of these and confronted injustice wherever it showed up.
That Jesus is still good news. That Jesus is still dangerous to systems of oppression. And that Jesus is still worth celebrating.
Merry Christmas.
BREAKING: PENTAGON MELTDOWN! Pete Hegseth explodes at veteran senator after being pressed on deadly Caribbean strikes.
The cracks inside Trump’s national security team are no longer hidden behind closed doors.
During a classified briefing this week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly got into a heated argument with Sen. Mark Kelly — a decorated Navy combat veteran and former astronaut — after Kelly dared to ask questions about the administration’s lethal boat strikes in the Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela.
Yes, asked questions, just as his job as Senator required.
According to multiple reporters, Kelly, seated in the front row, pressed officials about the ongoing military operations — strikes that legal experts have warned could amount to war crimes if civilians were targeted without proper justification or oversight.
Hegseth never answered the question. Instead, he lashed out.
Rather than addressing the substance of the strikes, Hegseth reportedly pivoted to attacking Kelly over a video the senator made with other Democratic veterans, warning active-duty service members not to follow unlawful orders — a basic principle drilled into every U.S. soldier since Nuremberg.
Kelly interrupted, making clear his question had nothing to do with the video. That’s when the exchange reportedly turned fiery, with witnesses describing an unusually tense confrontation inside the classified briefing room.
Meaning that when confronted with accountability, Hegseth went personal.
And it gets worse.
Hegseth’s Pentagon is currently investigating Kelly — a sitting U.S. senator and veteran — for that very video, a move Kelly’s legal team is now calling blatantly political and illegal. On Monday, Kelly’s attorney fired off a warning letter to the Department of Defense, signaling the senator is prepared to take legal action to stop what they describe as a retaliatory probe.
Let that sink in — the Trump administration is investigating a combat veteran senator for reminding troops to obey the law, while the defense secretary dodges questions about potentially unlawful killings.
The boat strikes themselves have already sparked alarm among lawmakers and military observers, with concerns about civilian casualties, murky rules of engagement, and whether proper oversight was ever in place. Instead of transparency, the response has been intimidation and deflection.
This wasn’t a policy disagreement. It was a stress fracture.
When a defense secretary can’t handle questions from a veteran senator without erupting — and resorts to weaponizing investigations instead — it sends a chilling message about how dissent is treated under Trump’s Pentagon.
Mark Kelly asked the right question, but Pete Hegseth provided the wrong answer — and proved exactly why Congress is worried.

1856, Canadian Arctic. A British expedition led by Francis Leopold McClintock is searching for Franklin's lost ships. They're running low on supplies. They shoot a caribou. The men are starving.
They examine the carcass and make a decision that baffles the historians who later read their journals: they leave most of it behind.
Not because they can't carry it. Because it's too lean.
This is spring caribou. The animal has burned through its fat reserves surviving the Arctic winter. What remains is almost pure protein. The hunters take the tongue, crack open a few bones for what little marrow is there, and abandon the rest. Several hundred pounds of meat left for the wolves.
The ship's doctor records this in his journal with confusion. Men are on short rations and they're leaving food behind. It doesn't make sense to him. But it makes perfect sense to the Inuit guides traveling with them. They tell him what they've known for thousands of years: lean meat will kill you faster than no meat at all.
The explorers have unknowingly encountered the metabolic reality that European medicine won't formally document for another 50 years: protein poisoning. Your liver can only process about 200-300 grams of protein daily. Beyond that, the ammonia from protein metabolism builds up faster than your body can convert it to urea and excrete it. You get nausea, diarrhea, hyperammonemia. In extreme cases, death.
The Inuit call lean caribou "starvation food." You can eat until your stomach hurts and you'll still waste away. The fat is what keeps you alive. Without it, the protein becomes toxic. The body desperately needs the calories from fat to process the protein you're eating. It's not optional biochemistry. It's survival.
Three weeks later, the expedition shoots another caribou. This one is autumn-fat, thick with the reserves it's built up eating all summer. The men take everything. They render the fat carefully. They roast the meat. They crack every bone for marrow. Nothing is wasted. The difference in the animal's condition means the difference between food and poison.
The doctor notes that the men's health improves dramatically after the fat caribou. Their energy returns. Their mood lifts. They can work longer hours. He attributes this to finally getting adequate food. He's half right. They're getting adequate fat. The protein is just along for the ride.
McClintock's expedition survives and returns to England. The doctor's journal is published. The parts about abandoning lean caribou are read as interesting cultural notes about Inuit superstition. No one considers that maybe the Inuit are right and European nutritional understanding is catastrophically wrong.
Your modern nutritionist tells you to choose lean cuts and trim visible fat. Your ancestors would have recognized that advice as a death sentence. They knew what your nutritionist apparently doesn't: fat is fuel. Protein without fat is poison.
This isn't a preference. It's biochemistry that's been tested by survival for millions of years.
BREAKING: ICE just tried to deport this woman, but there was just one problem — she was Native American.
You read that right: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — the agency supposedly tasked with deporting undocumented immigrants — just tried to deport an Indigenous woman whose ancestors have been here for thousands of years.
Leticia Jacobo, a 24-year-old member of Arizona’s Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, was born in Phoenix — but that didn’t stop ICE from trying to ship her “back” to a country she doesn’t even belong to.
Here’s how this jaw-dropping injustice unfolded: Jacobo was sitting in a Polk County, Iowa jail after being booked for allegedly driving with a suspended license — nothing violent, nothing serious.
Her mother, Ericka Burns, was preparing to pick her up and bring her home when jail staff dropped a bombshell: “She’s not being released. ICE is coming to deport her.”
Her mom was stunned. “How can you deport her?” she asked. “She’s Native American!”
But the jail staff shrugged it off. They said they were “just holding her” for ICE. No one — not a single person — could explain how or why this was happening.
Jacobo’s family went into overdrive — calling, emailing, begging officials to stop what was about to become one of the most shameful bureaucratic blunders in modern history. They reached out to tribal leaders, shared pleas on Facebook, and even showed up at the jail with her birth certificate to prove she’s an American citizen.
And still, officials hesitated. Hours ticked by while ICE prepared to take her.
Finally, after an agonizing all-night standoff, she was released around 4:30 a.m. — barely.
And what’s ICE’s excuse? A “clerical error.”
Lt. Mark Chance from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office casually dismissed it as “human error.” Just a little mix-up, they said. The detainer was meant for someone else, and they just happened to attach it to the file of a Native American woman born on U.S. soil.
“We’ll have some meetings about it,” Chance said. “This is silly.”
Silly? This wasn’t “silly.” This was an attempted deportation of a woman whose people are the original inhabitants of this land, by a government agency that has no idea whose land it’s even on.
Let that sink in: the United States government almost deported an Indigenous woman from her own country.
This is what happens when an agency like ICE is given unchecked power — where “clerical errors” can destroy lives, and where systemic racism and dehumanization are written into the paperwork. If her family hadn’t fought like hell, Leticia Jacobo could have been vanished into ICE custody — another name lost in a broken, brutal system.
It’s time to abolish this corrupt and incompetent agency that can’t even tell the difference between an immigrant and an Indigenous citizen.
Because if ICE can come for Native Americans, they can come for anyone.
