This isnโt about protests. Itโs about power. ICE is terrorizing communities. Prices are crushing families. The systemโs cracking and Trump knows it. Thatโs why heโs sending in Marines. Not to stop violence, but to stop visibility. Stay strong, LA.

The most recent episode of The Rehearsal is astonishing in so many ways, but the small moment I keep thinking about is when he casually but with a serious tone referred to the "cat actor" who was standing in for the original , pre-cloned little dog's actual cat companion. It cracked me up so bad.
