Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

#NoirvemberChallenge. Thanks for all the fun with Challenge @ladykdesigns.bsky.social Day 30 Favorite Noir Ending. The ending of The Third Man can never be topped. Altman acknowledges its iconic nature with his parody of the scene in The Long Goodbye. It is also a sin for which I can't forgive.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 25 Noirs on a boat. Without question The Breaking Point starring John Garfield, Patricia Neal, Phyllis Thaxter & Juano Hernandez. One of the best films on Micheal Curtiz' resume (which says a lot). It should be more widely known & admired.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 19 Favorite Boxing Noir. You can't beat the elegant simplicity of The Set-Up, a straight ahead moving story with great characters told in a real 90 minutes. Great performances by Ryan & Totter (breaks your heart in the arcade) & supporting cast. Best staged fight on screen.
