UPDATE ON BARBARA MARQUES: ICE is attempting to deport her tomorrow despite a federal court reopening her case. Deporting her now would be illegal under federal law but ICE is trying to do it anyway. Please flood these offices with calls to uphold the law and stop Barbara’s illegal deportation.

BARBARA IS SCHEDULED TO BE ILLEGALLY DEPORTED TOMORROW!
WE MUST CALL LOUISIANA NOW!
Mike Johnson (337) 423-4232
Bill Cassidy (318) 448-7176, (337) 261-1400
John Kennedy (337) 269-5980
"Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME]. I am calling about Barbara Marques, currently detained in Louisiana. A federal court has officially acknowledged a motion to reopen Barbara's case. This means she has legal protection from deportation until the judge rules. Deporting her now would be illegal under U.S. law. Despite this, ICE has scheduled her deportation for
1969
tomorrow and already moved her to the Alexandria staging facility. This action violates the law and must be stopped. I am demanding that you intervene immediately, contact ICE, and ensure Barbara is returned to the South Louisiana facility while her case is pending.
Please do your duty to uphold the law and stop this unlawful deportation."

URGENT UPDATE: WE NEED TO
FLOOD LOUISIANA REPS IMMEDIATELY!
We finally have some rare good news - the court has officially acknowledged a motion to reopen Barbara's case. This is a major step: it means Barbara Marques cannot legally be deported while the judge reviews her case.
• But here's the crisis: despite this, ICE has scheduled Barbara for deportation tomorrow and has already moved her to the Alexandria, Louisiana staging facility. If ICE follows through, they will be violating federal law.
- We need an absolute storm of calls and emails
TODAY demanding Barbara be returned to the South Louisiana facility and not deported while her case is active.
Call and email these officials immediately (CALLING IS BETTER):
US Congress District 4: Mike Johnson (337) 423-4232
*MOST IMPORTANT
US Senator: Bill Cassidy (318) 448-7176, (337)
261-1400 *MOST IMPORTANT
US Senator: John Kennedy (337) 269-5980
Phone script + email template are in the link in our bio.
Barbara has legal protection now. ICE must follow the law. We're counting on everyone to help Barbara!!!

Has anyone offered to send you the script from a decade or so ago called Bubbles, a biopic told from the perspective of Michael Jackson’s chimpanzee? You so specifically references something like it that I assume you already know about it/have read it, but juuuuuust in case…

It’s a super fun conversation and @briannelsonnow.bsky.social read the book it’s based off of and gave an incredible summation of the differences between the two! Also the movie is VERY fun!

Today I recorded a 2-hour podcast episode, briefly stopped by a birthday party, went for a walk, and wrote 17 pages. So yeah I think it’s okay that I ate a second cookie.

The power of musical theatre is such that I haven’t thought about a song in well over a decade, but this morning it returned, in its entirety, to the front of my mind and refuses to leave.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to sing this out.

You know that movie we all watched every time it showed up on TV? Well today’s remake is of the comedy I have probably seen the most times in my life! (But easily not for 25 years prior to this) It’s BABY’S DAY OUT! With amazing guest Andra Whipple!

A new episode of Ideal Remake gets fired, ballistically, at you today! What sort of remake discussion podcast would we be if we didn’t cover The Naked Gun?? Better get Amanda Barnes back on the shop and get highly technical about being silly!

For this audition, they’re trying to find people to represent characters who kinda “say what we’re all thinking.”
