Horrifying watching Casablanca now as it takes place before Americans saw NAZIS as the big bad. They were a threat "over there," but now when ICE asks for "papers" we might get shot if we try to run.

This is real.
This is FASCISM.
Chicago is under attack.

We lost Diane Keaton! While so much of her wonderful legacy was tied up with Woody Allen, Diane Keaton was a powerhouse performer.

Oh, agreed. As much as i hate it, Laurie should've died in Kills. Then it's alison's fight in ends.

I think the biggest missed opportunity is not making Lindsay a bigger character, especially in Ends.

Also, Kills is terrible title.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Finally, Pritzker says more Dems must sound the alarm, though he notes some exceptions (like Chris Murphy).

"I am surprised that more leaders have not stood up," he says.

He urges people to join No Kings protests to let the country know something's wrong. 5/5

Sister Jean was a role model in Illinois — inspiring us to embrace our neighbors.

As a lover of life, she taught us to channel positivity to keep us hopeful in times of need and kept that attitude all the way to a life well-lived at 106 years old.

May her memory be a blessing.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
