Yes. I’ve had to explicitly teach this to my own high school aged children. The idea that there used to be some level civility in American politics is foreign to them.

Total impulse purchase. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

What is happening in the last 24 hours? Suddenly opposing fascism and opposing Nazis is good for media’s bottom line?

Prop50called immediately. Love to see it. Cali 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Publix white mountain bread is the best bread

Tis the season when the fam needs heat in the am, but my “woman of a certain age” ass blocks the ducts in the bedroom with towels and heavy books bc omg why are you sending hellfire into my room at 6am?!

Arab. But exactly zero people would be touristing there.

Well that deserves a Roll Tide

And then there’s Alabama’s premier public research university returning the bodies of incarcerated people who died in state custody sans organs.

Wow GT. Wow

Got this message to kickoff the local public radio fundraising drive: WBHM is now 100% community-funded Donate to your local public radio station!

“We have too many students graduating college who are leaving the state”, and they think the solution is forcing higher ed to focus on Alabama’s workforce needs. I mean, that’s one way to decimate the out-of-state-tuition-dollars pipeline

Hey, Alabama! Go vote today!

Tubs for Guv: Make Alabama Stupid & Starving

A very good telling of how white women got the right to vote + Dolly! Well worth your time

Please help if you are able.

No plans this evening? Join me at 6:30 to talk to some of Alabama’s finest current/former mayors!

Is this whole Epstein story having legs thing really just a way for republicans to get out from under trump without having to admit they’re complicit or dupes?

Hey Alabama! Join us for a really fun local government event with the longtime mayor of Tuscaloosa, the former mayor of Dothan, and the newly elected mayor of Talladega. It’s going to a good convo about why voting in local elections matters.

@brianlyman.bsky.social starting the week out with asking the right questions and telling the whole truth. “The state’s campaign laws reflect a basic truth: we have elections in Alabama, but not democracy.”

Including the state auditor. Whose job, I believe, is to do financy stuff? Like maybe watch out for frauds?

Hey Alabama! Thursday eve, LWV, NAACP, SPLC, and BVM are hosting an essential convo on federal policy impact. I promise we will try to not be too much of a bummer as experts cover food insecurity, healthcare, arts, environment, education, accessibility, and voting right. Join us!

Thank you very much Tarrant for always delivering the very best in Alabama politics

Can we get a few more of these? You get to keep your lifetime benefits + be a hero for democracy!

I occasionally dip back into the other places to stir the pot. The ppl of Alabama just have no idea what’s about to hit them

And my Jewish family and friends going on about this nonsense about Mamdani… Why? Why be their tool? Why do their dirty work for them?

Wow, @johnarchibald.bsky.social, wow. Very well done. Y’all gotta read this skewering of our “elite” institutions right next to a speech from the day after the Sixteenth Street Church bombing.

Come hang out with me and learn from some really great Alabama leaders about how federal funding cuts are impacting programs and services in the state: Food Insecurity, Healthcare, Environment, Arts & Humanities, Education & Disability Services, Voting, and more!

Jim can be a lot sometimes, but this list of nonnegotiables is clearly stated and sensible.

Y’all! It has all the hilarity you’d expect from the hed. But man, the press release is comedy gold. McFeeters for governor! (anyone’s better than coach tubs)

Excellent question

LEA are really so divorced from reality that they think citizens are in favor of this? Wild

Alabama absolutely needs to be under preclearance. Without it, the GOP supermajority will keep finding ways to drag us back to 1950.

Not a single bill to inject religion in public schools passed this session…in Alabama of all places! They tried six bills. ALL FAILED. I worked hard on this this session, and am absolutely giddy at the results

Anyone else see the prime ad for The Chosen and their brain can only see Teenjus?

@brianlyman.bsky.social the LWV of Alabama has been trying to reach you about an award. (Yep, that sounds super sketch and weird. But it’s a true story.) Any way to connect with you?

Y’all I am anxiously awaiting some amazing legislative news and tomorrow needs to be over already. (Yes, actual good news from the #ALleg)

Fraud. Same scam coming soon to a charter school near you!

Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social!

Seems noteworthy that even the stodgiest of human institutions limits leadership for octogenarians. Archbishops/Bishops retirement age = 75 Cardinals removed from conclave = 80

Stunning and shocking mixture of old and new

Can anyone please direct me to criticism of Haidt’s Anxious Gen? There was a bunch floating around a couple of months ago. But I didn’t save it bc I didn’t know I’d need it. Thank you!

@anne-lucci.bsky.social Heeeeeeyyyyy frien!

Hey Alabama ppl…on Wed., the House Ed. Policy cmte will be voting on 3 bills attacking the religious liberty of public school children and holding public hearings on 2 bills attacking LGBTQ+ public school children. Happy to post more info below if I see any likes/comments to this. #bama #ALleg

Good morning and Shabbat… Siri thinks the next word should be Mubarak. And I think I like it

@johnarchibald.bsky.social, I thank you very sincerely for responding to my call for help on this one. And as always, for making your meaning clear with grace and compassion.

Very excellent work from Michelle Martin this morning!

@alabamareflector.com, can we please get some coverage of HB231? Of all the religious liberty bills in the leg., this one is the worst! They did all the actions on it early and fast. It can be pulled onto the agenda for a full House vote at any time.

“Don’t test emergency numbers” is a thing I had to say twice in the last few days. Once to some teens and once to a group of senior citizens 🤦🏻‍♀️. Someone in both groups did it anyways 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
