Feeling frazzled and need a script to call your reps?
This made it super, super easy.
Do it. Call your reps. The DHS bill is now coupled with many other bills, and they are making it really difficult to defund ICE. Ask for a standalone DHS bill!
Defund ICE and demand accountability!

Lukas Dostal making sure Killorn’s 1000th game is one to remember! That troublesome 9-game losing streak is starting to look further and further from memory.
Really fun time to be an Anaheim Ducks fan!

I think it depends on the interests of each person. Some are totally fine with watching movies as they release on streaming while others can’t part with the movie-going experience and are willing to make a trip for it.

Really good to know! I’m not familiar with that one so I’ll need to check it out.

I’ve been intending to read Maus for the better part of a decade. Just finished and I can’t believe it took me this long to finally get around to it. Incredibly impactful, unique, and sadly felt all too relevant.

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

The world’s bonkers out there, but these two help make each day better for me. Unsurprisingly… they have Star Wars inspired names.
This is Milo Dameron and Gemma Jyn.

Exactly! For 4 years I lived about 35-40 min from the nearest theater. I went all the time. And i definitely drive further to get to an IMAX for movies that warranted it (Interstellar, Avengers, Gravity, etc).
People still love the movie going experience and will make the drive!

100% the same for me! X-Files fan sites adequately prepared me for how people discovered, discussed, praised, and hated theories for LOST, Game of Thrones, and Stranger Things.

Agreed! Shepherding these properties responsibly has been a key part of her job for over 25 years.
Her business acumen and Filoni’s storytelling & SW knowledge are gonna make a great team.
