    In Alabama, America confronts itself. Dexter Avenue in Montgomery has seen slave sales; shameless attacks on rights, and men and women defying violence to call us back to our ideals. @ALReflector aims to cover the pain and promise of our home. alabamareflector.com/2023/02/07/ala… #alpolitics

    Rosa Parks and every other soul that participated in the Montgomery Bus Boycott endured more than 380 days of harassment, assaults and firebombings. They woke up on 380 mornings, one after the other, knowing they were putting their lives at risk.

    Congratulations to Trump adviser Stephen Moore on a comment at once strikingly stupid and deeply offensive. “I call these people the modern-day Rosa Parks — they are protesting against injustice and a loss of liberties.” washingtonpost.com/national/ralli…

    Chambliss, responding to the IVF argument from Smitherman, cites a part of the bill that says it applies to a pregnant woman. "The egg in the lab doesn’t apply. It’s not in a woman. She’s not pregnant." #alpolitics

    Martin Luther King would have turned 91 in January. Fred Gray, King's attorney during the Montgomery Bus Boycott, is still practicing law.

    The participants in the boycott endured terrorism for their principles. Don’t make these comparisons lightly.

    Before y’all dump on Alabama, remember these folks live here, too. And they are fighting to make it better.

    The weirdness in Alabama usually comes from within and I have no idea how to handle the weirdness being thrust upon us.
