| ICE Protests Erupt in the Birthplace of BLM |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| On Wednesday afternoon, Minneapolis Public Schools posted an unusual notice on their website: "Out of an abundance of caution, there will be no school on Thursday, Jan. 8 and Friday, Jan. 9." Despite the January snow on the ground, the two-day closure was not due to severe weather, but due instead "to safety concerns related to today's incidents around the city." The notice came hours after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed a woman who hit him with her vehicle - background which gives the notice an ominous tone. |

| by S.A. McCarthy |
| A blue state's "anti-discrimination" law targeting Christian organizations has been struck by a federal appellate court as blatantly unconstitutional. In 2023, Union Gospel Mission of Yakima, Washington, filed a lawsuit to block enforcement of the state of Washington's "Law Against Discrimination" (WLAD), arguing that the law's prohibition against employment discrimination on the basis of certain protected characteristics violated the Christian group's First Amendment rights to hire only fellow Christians who adhere to a biblical understanding of sex and marriage. |

| The Widening 'God Gap': Faith, Secularism, and the 2024 Election |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Have you ever heard of "The God Gap"? It's the term Ryan Burge, a professor at Washington University, used to explain the growing religious divide between red and blue American voters.
