Oh. I know you aren't the enemy. You are doing great work and I respect you. But I also think it is appropriate to tell you to call it what it is - a Nazi salute. We can respectfully criticize those we respect. We aren't in a cult.
I understand. But isn't it his job to say - no matter what any right-wing nut job calls it - it's the Nazi salute?
I would agree if he had said - Roman salute, coopted by Nazis. But he didn't.

That took me way tooo long.
I worked alongside incredible civil servants and other military members who took that same oath. This kind of loyalty test goes against everything I swore to defend. Our democracy relies on a nonpartisan, professional civil service. #Veterans #AlabamaVeterans
I’m alarmed to hear Trump’s team is questioning NSC employees about who they voted for in the 2024 election. Civil servants serve the Constitution, not a political leader.
When I joined the military, I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution.

I understand your position. However, I am going to stay on all social media I can stay on top of. I firmly believe that leaving is ceding the battlefield to the enemy. There are a large number of people who only get their information from SM sites. We need to be putting out accurate info everywhere
Medical debt no longer holds families back, thanks to the CFPB. But Sen. Katie Britt calls the CFPB a "regulatory nightmare." Removing medical debt is a nightmare for who—corporate interests? Government isn’t the enemy; it’s a partner in progress. #BetterForBama

I get my news thru emails from “trusted sources.” I will watch the actual news conference when it happens. It is sad that I don’t trust what I see on msm. I also went thru newsletters I received and unsubscribed to a bunch.
Sorry. Still not watching MSM.
Under President Biden’s leadership, the U.S. has tackled inflation more effectively than any other developed nation. Wages are rising, costs are stabilizing, and Americans are regaining their purchasing power. Let’s build on this progress, not undermine it. #BetterForBama #EconomicProgress
Senator Britt’s call to limit legal immigration misrepresents the facts. Real wages have been outpacing inflation for 15 months, and we’re heading in the right direction. Radical steps like restricting immigration aren’t the answer. #SteadyProgress

Statement from the Alabama Democratic Party on the passing of President Jimmy Carter
Fair winds and following seas, President Carter. A fellow Navy veteran, he served with honor, humility, and compassion, both in uniform and as a leader. We have the watch now. Rest in peace. ⚓️
Very important to remember! Thank you.
Happy Holidays!
Wow! Thanks. I will definitely review that article. I’m always looking for good news orgs!
Search “States Newsroom” - they have a starter pack. If you have any trusted news sources you follow, I’d love to hear about them!
I knew I’d forget some! And I did. Power at Work for Labor, Economic Policy Institute for Labor and the economy.
Alabama Reflector is part of a group of state specific independent news orgs. I follow most of them here on BlueSky. I’ll see if I can find their starter pack.
This is just me…and things that interest me. So, take it for what it’s worth! AP (general national/international), Inside Climate News (environment), Erin in the Morning (LGBTQ), Law Dork (legal), Alabama Reflector (statewide).
I had slowed my MSM intake down b4 the election and haven’t watched any since the election. I have my news delivered to my inbox and follow trusted independent journalists. I’m better informed. No doubt.
It’s officially winter! Woke up this morning in Northern Maine and it is 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Yuck!
Tuberville just isn’t smart. Britt is. That’s what makes her so much worse than him.
I really wanted Katie Britt to be better. During the 22 election, a ton of dems told me she wouldn't be that bad. She'd be reasonable. I didn't think she would, but was hoping. And here we are.
Public health isn’t a game, Coach. It’s about saving lives. Tuberville joining RFK Jr.'s 'Make America Healthy Again' caucus is another reminder that he’s more interested in amplifying conspiracy theories than protecting Alabamians’ health. This is reckless and harmful.

Each of us has what works for us!
There are others. But those are the main ones. I follow a local prison/crime reporter, and some media critics.
For me, I follow Inside Climate News for environmental news, Power at Work for Labor, EPI for labor/economic policy, Erin in the morning for LGBTQ, the Law Dork for legal. Alabama Reflector for local/statewide.
