I wrote a scene today. Seems like a good scene. Adds to character to the character.
Bottom line 1: Don’t be afraid to let your characters sit with themselves. Allow them to react, reflect and respond to their situations.
Bottom line 2: Friends give good feedback.

The war on immigration is just all bad in every possible direction.
--It is very expensive
--It radicalizes government agencies
--It distorts US foreign policy
--It is very harmful to the economy
--It is also quite cruel.
There is no second/third order consequence that is positive.

Local jails–mostly run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of ICE's rampant criminalization of immigration.

The Race to Find a Measles Treatment as Infections Surge
The measles vaccine was so effective the disease was considered eliminated in the U.S., but a resurgence of outbreaks is spurring a need for drugs.
