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’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.

For what it’s worth, I read that incredible Deadline interview with Kathleen Kennedy.

This will be quite the change. And while I fully understand it, I’m a bit bummed that the originally conceived Star Wars experience was too niche for the average park visitor.

Disneyland is pivoting on 'Star Wars' Land. Here's why.
Kylo Ren is out and Darth Vader is in. Galaxy's Edge changes course to spotlight "classic 'Star Wars.’"

With today being the 5-year anniversary of Light of the Jedi, which kicked off The High Republic, I feel the need to remind you: if you’re not reading Star Wars books, you’re missing out!
You want fresh stories with new characters that expand this universe? You need to read more.

I can’t believe this was just five years ago. I remember sitting down to read Light of the Jedi outside of a coffee shop and getting sucked in immediately. I was hooked on the High Republic from the start.
5 years ago today we launched #StarWarsTheHighRepublic w/ LIGHT OF THE JEDI and A TEST OF COURAGE. What an overwhelming, surreal, and incredible journey it’s been. Thank you to all the readers, fans, & creators for joining us on this grand adventure. We still have many more tales to tell!
