I went to see Shirley Valentine with C and a mate of hers. When he throws the dinner at her early in the film I've never forgotten that collective quiet groan that many women in the audience made. It was the groan of recognition and solidarity. That film had levels. RIP Pauline Collins.

Trump says he's sending the National Guard to crime-ridden "hellholes," but homicide rates across major cities have been falling.
In Portland, murders were down 39%.
In Chicago, they were down 22%.
Trump's deployments are about authoritarian control, not "law and order."
