I'd love to see empathy have a cultural moment like inner monolog or the mind's eye: when people suddenly realize, "Wait, you have a NARRATION track in yr head?", "Wait, you can SEE things in yr imagination?", "Wait, you DON'T cringe or cry when a stranger gets hurt?" (ofc they're all spectra)

JD is a placeholder and can be impeached by repubs if he doesn't deliver for his sponsors. I shudder to think who his appointed/unelected VP will be

I'm guessing the detainees also lack "body armor or other gear that would be appropriate in the case of an attack." Seems important.
