The world is a tough place, take a quick break and listen to Jordan Mailata sing
Last week was a rough one in America. Sunday was the 59th anniversary of the passing of the Civil Right Act. It was celebrated by the United States Supreme Court swinging an ax through legislation that helps level the playing field for marginalized people. I can’t do anything about the rolling back ...
