For 250 years, America has never been a finished project. Every generation has been invited to help shape what comes next. Today, it's our turn. We're still becoming America.

Deep disappointment comes from love. If I didn't love America, I wouldn't care about the direction we're heading. Patriotism isn't pretending everything is perfect. It's believing this country can do better...and refusing to stop working until it does. That's the America I'm proud to fight for.

These aren't "visa overstays." The Haitians in Alabama have been here legally under TPS, with background checks, work authorization, and jobs that help power our poultry and agricultural industries. Removing legal workers doesn't just affect these families. 🧵 #UnmuteAlabama

Alabama tried lethal injection. Alabama tried nitrogen hypoxia. Now lawmakers are discussing firing squads. How many times does a system have to fail before we stop looking for a new method and start questioning the system itself? #UnmuteAlabama #alpolitics

The Alabama Constitution says Governor candidates must meet residency requirements. It doesn't say: "Unless your political party says otherwise." #alpolitics #UnmuteAlabama

Ahead of tomorrow’s Alabama AG runoff, candidates are debating lethal injection vs. firing squads for inmate Jeffery Lee after SCOTUS halted his nitrogen gas execution. The missing context? The jury actually voted 7-5 for LIFE. A single judge used "judicial override" and imposed the death penalty

Senator Katie Britt says "failure is not an option" for ramming through an extra $350B for defense contractors on top of a $1.1 TRILLION baseline. Funny how failure is always an option when it comes to health care, environment protections, and basic infrastructure for actual humans.

Imagine your boss firing your entire department's representative committee and saying: "I now pick who speaks for you, and I control every single thing you do." That is what the Auburn Board of Trustees did to its professors. They voted to completely dissolve the elected University Senate.

Corporate growth is NOT the same thing as community prosperity. If a 3-million-square-foot data center arrives in a rural community, but local residents still don't have working sewage systems, who actually won? It’s time to stop treating rural Alabama like a sacrifice zone. #UnmuteAlabama

I was raised by a single mom. She taught me responsibility, resilience, and how to care for others. Strong families aren't defined by a politician's ideal. They're defined by the people who show up. Family is what you build. #UnmuteAlabama

Happy Pride Month. 🌈 This year feels different. For many LGBTQ+ Americans, progress that once felt secure now feels uncertain. Public debate has grown harsher. Online hostility is spilling into real life. Every generation inherits unfinished work. That's why Pride still matters. #UnmuteAlabama

Every holiday is a statement about values. Who we honor. Who we remember. What we teach future generations. The question isn't whether Jefferson Davis existed. The question is why Alabama still chooses to give him a state holiday #UnmuteAlabama #MuteJeffDavis

DOJ has entered Alabama's redistricting case on the state's side. For decades, marginalized communities looked to the Justice Department for protection of voting rights. Today, the DOJ is arguing against the court-ordered map that created Alabama's second opportunity district for Black voters.

A federal court ruled Alabama must continue using the race-neutral, court-ordered congressional map after finding again that the state’s 2023 map intentionally discriminated against Black voters. Alabama has appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court. But as of right now .... 🧵

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. And if we truly respect sacrifice, we should take war seriously. Not casually. Not politically. Not as background noise. Real people carry the cost of these decisions. Remember them. #UnmuteAlabama

Memorial Day travel is going to be more expensive. For a lot of families, higher gas prices aren’t an abstract economic debate. It’s whether they can afford the trip, the cookout, or the extra drive to see family. Working people absorb the costs of instability long before politicians do.

Thank you, Alabama Democratic candidates!

Alabama ranks near dead last for youth mental health care. Teachers see it. Pediatricians see it. ERs see it. Parents see it. The problem isn’t that Alabama kids need too much help. The problem is Alabama adults built a system where help is too hard to get. #UnmuteAlabama #Vote

Tuberville’s answer to everything is fear. Fear of immigrants. Fear of Muslims. Fear of abortion medication. Fear of cultural change. What is he actually offering Alabama besides fear? 🧵 www.al.com/politics/202...

You don’t get to invent your own facts. Medication abortion has been used safely for years. Major medical organizations have repeatedly said it is safe and effective. But when politicians can’t defend taking away reproductive freedom, they pivot to fear. And who gets hurt most? 🧵

* Nearly half of Americans now say healthcare is difficult to afford. * More than one-third say they have delayed or skipped medical care because of the cost. * And more than 40% say they have not taken medication as prescribed because they could not afford it. #UnmuteAlabama #UnmuteHealthcare 🧵

Nearly 50,000 Alabamians have already dropped off SNAP food assistance rolls. Food banks say children, seniors, homeless youth, and struggling families are already feeling the impact. Policies have consequences. #UnmuteAlabama #FeedPeople www.al.com/news/2026/05...

Someone should really alert Katie Britt. She thinks Republicans are the party of family values. #UnmuteAlabama youtu.be/6qcaXHWwmms?...

A new report found VA wait times increasing at 71% of sites studied including cancer care, PTSD treatment, neurology, pulmonology, and women’s health. Veterans were told staffing cuts wouldn’t affect care. The data suggests otherwise. #UnmuteVeterans #UnmuteAlabama

It didn’t take long. Alabama is already asking to redraw its maps. Not to ensure fair representation, but to make sure only certain people are represented. And that tells you everything you need to know. #UnmuteAlabama

Today is May Day. A day about workers. In Alabama, that means talking about the reality. Worker deaths from unsafe conditions Kids found working in auto supply chains Prison labor paying pennies on the dollar A minimum wage stuck at $7.25 #UnmuteAlabama #UnmuteLabor 🧵

A bill to make parole hearings more accessible passed with bipartisan support. It would have allowed families, victims, and others to participate remotely. And then it died when Governor Ivey used an executive amendment. In Alabama, parole is already granted in only a small percentage of cases.

We’ve known what’s happening in Alabama prisons for years. The violence. The deaths. The conditions. Families have been showing up. Sitting in meetings. Telling lawmakers exactly what their loved ones are facing. And now… we’re doing an audit? Of one prison? #UnmuteAlabama

We talk about the economy like it’s a headline. But for most people, it’s not a headline. It’s the grocery store. The gas pump. The bills that don’t wait. It’s just… “Can I afford groceries this week?”

Our justice system should reflect our highest ideals of human dignity and progress. The DOJ just announced it is reinstating firing squads and "streamlining" the legal process to carry out executions faster. Is a faster execution by firing squad the type of justice we want to define us as a nation?

Worker deaths. Unsafe conditions. People afraid to speak up. A report flags the Hyundai-Kia supply chain, including Alabama. A job should not cost you your safety. #UnmuteAlabama #Labor #WorkersRights

Happy Earth Day. Here in Alabama, it’s not just “the planet.” It’s our rivers. Our land. Our communities. That’s worth taking care of.

1 in 5 Alabama adults is missing from our elections. The explanation? Barriers. The response from the Alabama Secretary of State? Elections aren’t about turnout, they’re about “security.” That gap says everything.

A worker in Alabama died in a trench collapse. Investigators say the trench was unprotected. Multiple safety violations. If you show up to work, you should be able to go home. That’s the standard.

$68 million to defend the system. And the system still isn’t fixed. At some point, it’s not about whether it works. It’s about what it’s built to do.

In America, we’re supposed to have a system that is orderly, predictable, and serves the common good. In Anniston, Alabama: An 85-year-old widow. Taken in her nightgown. Shackled. Denied medication. Held 16 days. If a system can be used like this, it’s not working the way we say it should.

Calling your own neighbors "animals in a zoo" isn't a safety plan. It's just an insult. While the "tough talk" makes headlines, Montgomery’s actual strategy cut violent crime by 25% last year. We are supposed to lead with facts, not fear. #UnmuteAlabama #ALpolitics

Making America "Great" means having an economy where a single income could buy a home. To get true tax fairness, the top 0.1% would have to transfer $10 trillion back to the bottom 90% of us. We are supposed to be a land of opportunity for everyone, not a private bank for 935 billionaires.

A government that waits for "manifest bodily harm" before acting is a government that has failed the American promise. Clean water is a non-negotiable right, not a business expense. #UnmuteAlabama www.alreporter.com/2026/04/14/a...

Alabama has officially chosen corporate profit over public health. The ADEM Commission rejected its own scientists' modern safety standards for 12 toxic chemicals in our water. We are supposed to protect our children’s health with the best science available. 🧵

Accountability isn't a "privileged" resource. Jay Mitchell’s plan to have police review their own peers’ shootings under the AG's office is a direct hit on local prosecutorial independence. We need more transparency in Alabama, not more layers of protection for the powerful. #unmutealabama

Accountability matters. Huntsville’s Andrea Alvarez is right to call out the lack of transparency in the CHOOSE Act. While public schools follow strict laws and certification, $250 million is being handed out with almost no oversight, 70% of it going to families already outside the public system.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day. Awareness is a start but it’s not the finish line. What matters is building a world where autistic people are supported, respected, and included every day.

Desegregation orders weren’t a mistake. They were a response to real, documented harm. Suggesting we no longer need them assumes that harm has been fully undone. That’s a big claim and one that deserves more than rhetoric. #UnmuteAlabama

The bill claims to teach "historical foundations" and "freedom from state-established religion," yet it was passed by suppressing the very democratic process (debate) that those historical documents represent. #UnmuteAlabama

On Transgender Day of Visibility, the Supreme Court just put conversion therapy bans at risk despite overwhelming medical evidence it causes harm. Visibility matters. Safety should too. #TransRights

Sen. Warnock is right: Republicans found $200 billion for a war in Iran overnight. But for 25 million uninsured Americans? Nothing. No urgency. No bill. No vote. They fund what they value. And they just told you exactly what that is. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Montgomery leadership has 6 days to spend $14B of your tax money. Their plan? Threatening to change the rules to skip the debate and "cloture" anyone who asks a question. We don't pay taxes for "efficiency" behind closed doors; we pay for accountability in the light. Stop the muzzle. 🗣️ #Unmute
