Unlike Americans, Canadians elected a serious, accomplished man.

How far we’ve backslid in just two clips. “Islam is peace” — George W. Bush, six days after 9/11. “Do we want to wait until we have to fight them in the streets or do we want to kick them out now?” — Tommy Tuberville, 2026.

America will tolerate a lot of things, but not a loser.

People in Alabama are now finding out just how many Democrats are on the ballot this year. You see, absentee voting has begun for the May 19th Primary. Democrats are also finding out they get to vote for members of their local Democratic Party. And they are finding out just how many choices....

4 more from yesterday's snap protest in #Huntsville #Alabama. #NoKings No war crimes. No genocide. No endless wars of choice. @indivisible5al.bsky.social @50501alabama.bsky.social

@indivisible5al.bsky.social and/or @50501alabama.bsky.social called a snap protest tonight because of Trump's threat to and an entire civilization. A good crowd showed up. #Huntsville, #Alabama. #GoodTrouble

I will not stay silent while our President threatens to commit war crimes in our name. There comes a time when basic humanity transcends partisan politics. To my Republican colleagues: Now is the time to stand up and speak out.

Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization. Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do? Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

This threat is outrageous, dangerous, and unhinged. Trump’s illegal war in Iran has already led to enormous death and destruction, including a school bombing that killed over 100 children. Congress must immediately act to rein him in before more people die.

Trump is completely unhinged. He's lashing out with no plan, threatening horrific war crimes after already bombing a girl's school. It's making the entire world, including the United States, less safe. Every Republican enabling him is responsible. Congress must act.

President Trump is threatening war crimes of horrific proportions against civilians. It’s deranged. This madness must stop.

Via Anna Barrett: An Alabama Senate Committee on Tuesday approved a bill that would require voters to register with a party to vote in its primaries, putting it in position for a final vote in the last days of legislative session.

We don’t have a Congress. We have a bunch of Republican traitors engaging in a hostile takeover of this country by refusing to do their actual duty and reign in our “Commander-In-Chief.” What happens next lies at their feet as well.

"Civil rights organizations, such as the N.A.A.C.P., have accused the president of carrying out an assault on civil rights and trying to roll back decades of progress for people of color."

I bet you flipped your calendar over to April and said, "Look, the Democrats meet on April 16th at 6PM because that's the 3rd Thursday in April", didn't you? Don't forget. See you there. P.S. The Madison County Commission meets on every other Wednesday at 10AM. April 8th and 22nd. City...

“Nonviolence is not a method for cowards; it does resist. If one uses this method because he is afraid or merely because he lacks the instruments of violence, he is not truly nonviolent.” "Stride Toward Freedom" by Martin Luther King Jr. We're #Alabama. We know #GoodTrouble. #NoKings #Huntsville

Young people still watch "Mary Poppins"? Good show. I love the creativity, the knowledge, the wisdom on display Saturday. We dare to hope. #NoKings #Huntsville #Alabama #Democrats

It was a *great* day wasn't it? @50501alabama.bsky.social @indivisible5al.bsky.social #Huntsville #Alabama #Democrats #NoKings

Four more from when we marched to the new Federal Courthouse. @indivisible5al.bsky.social @50501alabama.bsky.social #Madison #Huntsville #Alabama #Democrats #NoKings

I didn't catch this until I was on my way out. (Yes, it would have been better as a video.) Keep this in mind if you ever think of challenging artists. They are very, very clever and they can hurt you. I think you can get the gist of it. It drew a big crowd that kept saying "play it again".

Congratulations #Madison County, #Alabama for doing your part. Take it from the guy that always crows about the biggest, the best, the greatest, the largest -- it matters. The difference is, we have the proof. #NoKings #Huntsville #Alabama #Democrats

There was no real way for me to convey the crowd size (short of being on top of a building or a drone shot) but I'd bet money it stretched from Big Spring Park to the Federal Courthouse (when we marched to the courthouse). More tomorrow. #Huntsville #Alabama #NoKings #Democrats

All verticals because...social media. It's just easier. 😀 #Huntsville #Alabama #NoKings #Democrats

Oh, and in case it isn't obvious, it was a perfect day. Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks to all that came out -- here and around the world. Seriously, thank you. #Huntsville #Alabama #NoKings #Democrats

Special shoutout to Minneapolis -- St. Paul, Minnesota. We see you. Thank you for showing us the way. #Huntsville #Alabama #NoKings #Democrats

4 more (that's what Bluesky lets us do.) #NoKings #Huntsville #Alabama

Pictures later. It wouldn't fit into a picture so here's a video. #NoKings #Huntsville #Alabama #Democrats

Today is the day! SHOW UP.

Sign-making party at the Back Forty Beer Company tonight. They'll be there until 8. Lots of artists helping us out today -- for the big day tomorrow. No Kings! III Big Spring Park 1-4 PM #Huntsville #Alabama #NoKings

And tonight's party is... The Back Forty, 6 PM, March 27th Only one more day until No Kings! III Come make history.

-- If the parking lot of the protest singing practice is any indication... Saturday's No Kings! III March is going to be huge. We had an excellent time. Thanks to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Huntsville for the space -- and the grace.

"“And in case you missed the breaking news a couple days ago, President Trump once again voted by mail in the special election in Florida. So what is it, good enough for the president but not good enough for the rest of us?”" Because it's voter suppression -- not protection.

Thanks to your generosity, we're at nearly 75% of our spring fundraising goal. Help us deliver ad-free, independent journalism in Alabama.

Now this sounds like the right way to protest. TONIGHT! Thursday March 26th.

The Madison County Commission meets this morning (Wed. 25th) at 10AM The Huntsville City Council meets tomorrow evening 5:30. There's also a practice for protest songs tomorrow night. We'll post that separately. As we will for the sign-making event Friday. We told you it was a busy week. Show up.

"The Trump administration has waived sanctions on Iranian oil purchases at sea for 30 days to ease surging oil prices driven by the US-Israeli war on Iran." We lifted sanctions on a country we're bombing because the war we started caused an increase in gas prices. Got it. No Kings! is Saturday.

The state of America: "U.S. President Donald Trump evoked Jesus on Monday to urge Republicans ‌in Congress to work through the upcoming Easter holiday in a bid to pass a voter-identification bill that Democrats strongly oppose."

You ARE registered to vote, right? You've heard all the stories about the Republican Party and Trump trying to pass the SAVE Act which will make it harder to vote, right? Do you think they'll stop there? Make SURE you are registered to vote. NOW. So you'll have time to fix it, if not. May 5.

What week is it? That's right. It's No Kings III week. SHOW UP. It counts. Saturday, March 28th, 1PM, Big Spring Park.

We tell you all the time to listen to @alpoliticsthisweek.com. Did you catch it this week? The one with Amanda Pusczek (PUSH-check)? That right there proves I listened. 😀 You should too. And Senator Tommy Tuberville is about to be awarded a major honor. Or, at least we hope so. Listen.

No matter where you are on March 28th, no matter what you are doing -- working, vacationing, chilling -- you need to show up. At least for an hour. More if you're able. Click on this link and find an event near you. No matter where you are.

From the party of personal freedoms. "A woman in Georgia has been charged with felony murder after police say she took abortion pills at home and went to the emergency room for stomach pain. It is the first time someone has been charged under Georgia's six-week ban."

Only 8 more days. Be part of the largest protest in U.S. history. Your country needs you. Show up. Big Spring Park, 1PM, March 28, 2026

Your second chance to make signs (and have a beer). The connections you make with people on your side will matter in the upcoming months. Show up. March 27, 6PM at the Back Forty.

Get ready Madison County/Huntsville. It is about to get busy. Can you sing? Can you make a sign? It's time to use every tool in the toolbox.

I'm on my way to tonight's meeting so it's time to post what's next. Don't forget.

Hey! Guess what tomorrow is? That's right. It's the 3rd Thursday. Did it sneak up on you? Don't let "No Kings 3" (March 28) or the Primary Voting (May 19) sneak up on you. Every person counts. Every vote counts. Show up.

On first click, it was behind a paywall. But I clicked on the Facebook button and suddenly the article show up on AL's site. (shrug) (FYI, not showing the graphic ((I think it's called a "web card")) is a known problem for AL.com on Bluesky.) "Meet the Candidates Challenging Dale Strong"

Does Tommy Tuberville, The Stupidest Person in Congress™, think that ICE are Radical Islamists?
