Is there any hope that after all of it crashes post Trump, that we’ll get universal healthcare? Just asking.

Love this so much. I’ve had the opportunity in the past to work with or near to three different Chicago museums for longer periods of time and a favorite thing for me was to ask staff what is the best “unknown” bit of the museum, I’ve seen some fascinating stuff.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

The summer it came out I lived in an apartment with no AC during the hottest summer in Chicago. I was working nights in The Second City box office and I went to the movies during the day. That one was barely worth being cool for.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

Sheldon Patinkin used to tell a story about someone telling Andrea Martin how much they liked her on SCTV and adding that they loved the other three women on the show with her. All of those three women were Catherine O'Hara. Brilliant, funny, able to be over the top and simultaneously vulnerable.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

In improv, there’s an adage “play the scene you’re in” I think we’d all like to be in a world where the left could argue over minor points of policy. But this moment demands that we all work together to bring our country back from the move to fascism.

I have been thinking much the same thing. And that the point of these “operations” is less immigration enforcement and more to make blue cities feel fear.
