I don't think you need to find a deep well of empathy to understand why it's wrong for electeds decry "anarchy" in LA: they are demanding that a very large crowd of people act against human nature itself while explaining away the little institutional reasons why Congress did not clean up ICE

We have 3 CEOs. And they need to cut costs. So they're firing 3.5% of the domestic workforce today.

If you were breaking into the industry in the 2010s, you knew Melody. She was the first friendly face we met in NAS’s shorts program and I’m positive she introduced me to most of my colleagues. She’s the sweetest, most generous, and most passionate cartoon friend in your corner. Can we help her out?
