    I’ve lived in Alabama on and off since I was a toddler. I was a journalist here for more than a decade. I’ve never met a person who was proud, in retrospect, of voting for George Wallace. When you go to the polls, remember: history is watching! Harris/Walz 2024!

    Today on social media: People in Alabama should just leave. Otherwise they deserve their oppression. Tomorrow on social media: We are gathered here today to honor MLK and Rosa Parks…

    Alabama has an abortion ban without exceptions for rape and incest. Vast majorities of Alabamians want exceptions, but GOP lawmakers won’t pass them. Now tell me again how a restrictive abortion ban is NOT something the GOP really wants?

    Birmingham is a steelworking city that became a hospital center, which is why Vulcan wears a gown that doesn’t cover his butt.

    This is happening because of @1819News. This is happening because of @TTuberville. This is happening because certain people wanted it to happen and tried to make it happen.

    Alabama’s legislative session has ended and there’s no bill to arrest librarians. If you spoke out against the bill, be proud! Y’all staved off a threat to freedom for at least one more year!

    Sixty. Sixty people. How many are children? Now tell me about the grave strain this places on your school system. If you think three Haitian kids are enough to break your town, you’re probably a bigot.
