Right on!
Alabama finally has someone ready to fight for the Alabama instead of letting Tuberville, a non-resident drifter, run his mouth from Florida.
Doug is stepping in with actual roots, actual plans, and an actual stake in the future of the state.

So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

No one rips up the White House to build a ballroom unless they plan to use it for a long time, as in after 2028.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

The Nuremberg laws were passed on September 15, 1935.
And so the countdown begins.

Dean Cain—whose only claim to fame is that he played Superman in 1993 and no one has asked about or for him since—plans to become a slave catcher, I mean an ICE officer. Cain’s family was imprisoned at a Japanese American internment camp in Idaho during WW2. This man has no self-awareness.

Pretty hard to believe that the particularly heinous and brutal treatment Christian Smalls was subjected to by Israeli authorities was not a function of racism given it was not inflicted on other Handala detainees.
And the US media dgaf.

At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs.
We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege

The purpose of the United States Constitution is to prevent the rise of tyranny.
It failed to achieve that purpose. We can obviously blame political elites across the spectrum for its failure; but it’s also worth contending with the fact that our political system is no longer fit for purpose.

In an alternative universe, the Democrats would bring down Trump and the MAGA party over demands to release the Epstein files. The problem is Dems know it would bring down some of their own. The other issue is that the Democratic Party appears to be not worth a damn right now.

What if we practiced living in truth, where we understand family policing as nothing but a modern day plantation—reborn in bureaucracy—where the chains are legal, the overseers wear badges, and the lash is replaced with court orders?

So all the White House political reporters are spending the weekend getting up to speed on the Abrego Garcia case and litigation related to the gulag in El Salvador so that they can prep good questions for Bukele’s visit on Monday, right?
