Killing one woman is a tragedy, but it has also created a lifetime of heartache for three children. This cannot be undone. The evil of Chump's regime is going to have repercussions for many decades to come.
Good was a mother of three and had dropped off her six-year-old son at school when she encountered a group of ICE agents, according to her ex-husband.

I used to be reasonably confident that the Zeitgeist was steadily heading in one direction: overall improvement in quality of life, general refinement of laws leading to a safer and more ethical society and world. But it seems that we've gone into reverse and every single thing is broken.

I loved One Battle After Another, and Sinners was also one of my films of the year. Judging by the reactions, though, some people really disagree!
One Battle After Another became just the fourth film to win the National Society of Film Critics, LAFCA, NYFCC, and NBR honors for Best Picture. Only one of the three took Best Picture so far...
