For folks that are concerned about the Voting Rights Act, today’s SCOTUS decision means that the canary in the coal mine just died. If there were ever a time for Congress to act on voting rights legislation, now would be it. Make no mistake, this is not a good outcome.

Congressman John Lewis is a true American hero. I had an opportunity as a kid to meet him. It is a story that I carry with me that changed my life. If you will indulge me, I would like to share it.

To date, Alabama has made plans to spend $440 million dollars of our American Rescue Plan funds. Of the $440 million, $400 million of it will be spent on building prisons while the other $40 million will be spent on hospitals. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Alabama is the only state that gives Davis his own holiday—an honor not even his own state of Mississippi bestows. Davis and his compatriots were wrong in 1861, and they are wrong now. We must immediately repeal Alabama Code sec. 1-3-8(b)(4), which authorizes his holiday.

Alabama is about to spend 3 billion dollars over 30 years on building new prisons that won’t fix the problems within our prison system. Also, as a reminder, after paying the money, at the end of 30 years, we won’t own either the buildings or the land they sit on.

My dad, of course, still tells this story to this day. He loves it. For me? That experience changed my life. I got to walk with a true American Hero and hear him tell his own story about Bloody Sunday. And, he even let me touch his scar. Such a gentle, patient and gracious soul.

You are right @GovernorKayIvey , we are not California, New York, or Louisiana. Hell, now we aren’t even Georgia, Mississippi, or Florida. They #ShutItDown . What are we waiting on? We can’t just hope this goes away. Waiting is jeopardizing lives. It’s time to act.

This weekend while most people were celebrating the life of John Lewis, a true American Hero, Will Dismukes was in the same city celebrating Nathan Forrest, the first Grand Wizard of the KKK. This should clear up any questions about whose side Will Dismukes is on. #alpolitics

Interim Senator? Huh? By the way, Alabamians support protecting Social Security, Medicare, and covering pre-existing conditions which @SenDougJones supports. Most Alabamians also want you to debate. Maybe you would be more familiar with what matters to us if you lived here.

I am proud that the University of Alabama is working to remove these vestiges of racism from campus. Other institutions in Alabama and the State of Alabama overall must do the same. We can no longer allow Alabama to be a respite for racists. #GoodTrouble #RollTide #wecandobetter

2021 was tough. Folks struggled through another year of uncertainty, pandemic, and threats to our Democracy. While the GOP frontrunner for Senate was inciting a riot that tried to overturn the USA, we dug our heels in and kept building a new foundation for the Alabama Democrats.

Leigh Gwathney was appointed Chair of Pardons and Paroles in October 2019. The last time I tweeted about this, the numbers were from January 2021 to June 2021. To get a clearer picture of the problem, I requested the numbers from when she was appointed. They are not pretty.

If my GOP colleagues passed this map because of @SpeakerMcCarthy , I hope they asked him to chip in for the attorney’s fees we’ll pay when we lose defending this map in court. Because we will lose. And it won’t be cheap—we’re talking Lunsford money, not pocket change.

This could potentially be a huge problem for the Legislature’s immunity plan. It could eventually create a pathway at some point in the near future for a judge to determine whether or not the law we pass is Constitutional. It could also potentially cause clinics to close again.

@RepEngland70 Have to wonder how much access to testing they have, for guards & staff who return home to their families at the end of their shifts as well as for people who are incarcerated. Their safety is the community’s safety. Important to know what the real infection rate is.

Our current prison population is 51% Black and 47% White. In May and June, 622 parole hearings were held. They granted 103. Of the 103, 77 were White and 26 were Black. Seems like the system being used is creating a significant disparity. Any thoughts on that @ALBPP ?

Alabama’s Pardons & Paroles Board, under Leigh Gwathney’s leadership, routinely ignores objective standards and applies its own made up standard. The result? A significant racial disparity that has only gotten worse since she has been in charge. She must go. #ImpeachLeighGwathney
