Remember that this production saw:
The star fired for objecting to genocide.
The second star quitting in protest over the firing of the first.
The studio lying and saying the second star quit for scheduling conflicts.

WEST LOOP β As immigration raids ramp up in Chicago, West Loop dog walker Candice Nelson grabbed her phone and recorded a simple message: If youβre afraid to leave home, sheβll walk your dog β for free.
> View this post on Instagram
>
> A post shared by Candice (@westloopdognanny)
The post spread fast, not just to pet owners, but to volunteers across the city who have now offered to do the same to help neighbors who fear being taken by federal agents if they go outside.
Nelson wouldnβt consider herself an activist, but as such fear continues to spread across the city, she felt called to find a way she can contribute, she said.
βI really just feel like this is the least that I could do to help because, other than that, Iβm just kind of just sitting here on the sidelines,β Nelson said. βAnimals are very important to families. If I can help someone, even if itβs just one person, Iβm more than willing to do that.β
Nelson launched her dog-walking business nearly three years ago after losing her job in the fashion industry. What began as gig work through apps like Rover, Instacart and Uber Eats quickly turned into a full-time career caring for pets across Chicago.
A dog owner, Nelson now works independently out of her West Loop apartment, providing walking, boarding and sitting services and carrying her own insurance. She said she feels grateful to make a living surrounded by animals and the loyal clients who trust her with their pets.
βThatβs what I want to do. I want to give [dogs] the best experience. Thatβs why I donβt have a life β I just dedicate my life to the dogs. Itβs very all-or-nothing,β Nelson said.
Since posting her video Sunday, Nelson has had one person reach out for help. That person was looking for help walking the dog of a parent who is too scared to leave their home.
The Trump administrationβs focus on deportation has had an effect on pets, with families surrendering their pets or animals being unintentionally abandoned as their owners are deported. Since June 10, when Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control began tracking pet surrenders related to deportations, the agency has taken in 25 dogs and six cats, according to an August article in Forbes. Los Angeles was targeted for an immigration enforcement surge this summer.

In Denver, nonprofit We Matter 2 Pet Rescue, told Forbes it has helped rehome and foster 85 pets since the Trump administration took office in January.
And in Chicago, an Animal Care and Control representative said the agency started to see pets surrendered due to deportations on Sept. 30, almost three weeks into intensified immigration enforcement in Chicago. Since then, the agency has had two dogs and three cats surrendered because of immigration enforcement.
Nelson said she hopes her services can help owners avoid being separated from their pets. Since her video went viral, sheβs started a WhatsApp group with other dog walkers who also expressed interest in helping. They work on different sides of the city, creating a small network of volunteers.
The network is still in its early stages, but Nelson hopes to create something that can be lasting.
βHopefully this will come to an end, you know, having these federal agents in our city. β¦ Maybe beyond this, we can maintain a network where we can help those who are in hospitals. Or, you know, theyβre just unable to take their animals out consistently or care for them,β Nelson said.
Those who need help can email Nelson at hello@westloopdognanny.com or can send her a message on Instagram or TikTok.

The indefinite removal of Jimmy Kimmel Live under government pressure is not an isolated incident. It is part of a disturbing trend of increasing interference in creative expression. This kind of political pressure on broadcasters and artists chills free speech and threatens the livelihoods of thousands of working Americans.
When a private citizen, business, or television network bows to government intimidation, it strikes at the heart of our First Amendment rights. Creative artists must be free to do their work without fear that their careers or their familyβs livelihoods will be disrupted simply for their opinions.
These cases pull the rug out from under the hardworking American workers behind the scenes who make these productions possible. At a time when Americaβs film and television industry is still struggling due to globalization and industry contraction, further unnecessary job losses only make a bad situation worse.
Finally, media companies have a responsibility to defend their workers and the integrity of the stories they tell. All broadcasters must stand firm in defense of free expression and the First Amendment, not capitulate to a policy of political appeasement.
