Powerful piece, Ryan. Thanks for sharing.

My two cents — Even if the world isn’t a fine place or worth fighting for, that student is. They did nothing wrong. No judgment toward anyone who needs a break, but there are fights to be fought for people who are worth it.

Thanks Sean, and you're right. So glad you're still gonna be representing D9. I wasn't explicit about this, but the City Heights community is one that I still deserves my compassion and care. It's something that's still worth fighting for.

You articulated everything I’ve been feeling for the last week, Ryan. I can live with the idea of “not investing” vs “not caring”. It’s still a shock to me that more people voted for better prices for bacon vs human rights.

Fabulous piece.

Yup. I feel that.

Hey, was nice to see you at Juliet's reading, though.

But yeah. Fuck.
