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.
Using debunked hiring ratios to justify a state takeover is just "fake math" for a power play.
We need a partner in the Governor's mansion, not a name-caller.

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
Fairness isn't radical. It’s the American promise. #UnmuteAlabama #TaxDay
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.

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.
Apparently, we will now need one for US AG.
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.

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.

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.

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
I'm in Aroostook County, Maine right now and we have a Winter Weather Advisory from 6 pm tonight until Wednesday afternoon. ❄️
It’s a lot like the political climate in Alabama - unpredictable, a bit cold, and designed to keep people off the roads and out of the conversation.
