What if presidential pardons are less about justice and more about favoritism? Join us as we dissect the controversial use of pardon powers in the U.S., spotlighting President Joe Biden's pardon of his son and contrasting it with Trump's pardons of January 6th rioters. Our resident artist, Asia Nakia, offers her perspective on using creativity for social change, while we navigate the troubled waters of LA Animal Services following a key resignation. The call for compassionate leadership in animal welfare rings loud as we explore how to transform these challenges into solutions.
