Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

Several red state AGs including mine are suing to dismantle 504s in schools.

Just gonna say it, democrats keep trying to play by the rules of “normal” governing as republicans rewrite the entire game. We need to be meeting them in the loopholes they exploit so well.
