Awesome to honor those who attempted to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge, in Selma, AL, 59 years ago but were beaten and bludgeoned. We still have a lot of work to do. #BloodySunday#JohnLewis#Selma#GoodTrouble
@CarlForAlabama Obviously those tragedies weren’t important enough for the GOP to pass the border bill. Biden said he would sign it as soon as it hit his desk. But Trump told the GOP to kill the bill and all of you cowards did as told.

@CarlForAlabama Donald Trump is a criminal who is running for office to stay out of jail. If you’re a Trump supporter, you’ve lost my vote. Voting for Democratic candidate Tom Holmes in general election.
@CarlForAlabama The GOP, the party of fear. Why don’t you work on issues that really affect Alabamians? Healthcare, hospital closings, substance abuse, education, crime, gun violence. Dear God, it’s Alabama, the list is endless. Do you know what’s not a major issue on that list? The border!
@TrumpAF2024 Like so much information shared by Republicans these days, this is absolutely false!!! EO 9066 was signed in the 1940’s and incarcerated Japanese Americans.
@CarlForAlabama You are such a disgusting sycophant. Donald Trump supports murderous dictator Putin and gave his permission for Putin to invade our NATO allies. Trump is a danger to our national security. There is no excuse for supporting him.
@CarlForAlabama The GOP were all in on the bi-partisan border bill until Trump said no. The GOP doesn’t want to fix the border. They want to keep it status quo so they can continue to rile up their base and campaign on it. If it was that big of a problem the GOP would have passed the bill.
@CarlForAlabama After years of nonstop bitching about open borders, Jerry Carl is now delivering on Trump’s agenda to kill the Border bill. It has bipartisan support, has been endorsed by border agents and Biden said he will sign it the day it is delivered to him. Pass the bill!
COPIED FROM JOE BECIGNEUL: THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TICK SOME PEOPLE OFF, AND I HOPE IT DOES. BUT I’M GOING TO KEEP ON SHARING IT AND SAYING IT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A SWIFTIE, BUT I AM A HUMAN BEING, A DAD AND, A MONSTROUS FOOTBALL FAN.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW …
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.
Jeremy Kimbrell, a worker at Mercedes in Tuscaloosa, Alabama responds to the Alabama Secretary of Commerce's union-busting rhetoric:
“An Alabama worker is just as good as any other worker. No one is looking out for them and it’s time that Alabama auto workers fight back.
We do a good job and Mercedes is selling cars, making over 100k a piece at our factory. They work us unbelievable extra shifts. They’re happy that we’re here. They just don’t want to pay us. They just want us to work for less. I call it the ‘Alabama discount.’
The Alabama discount needs to end.”

@bennyjohnson And in 2022, the GOP sent a message loud and clear that they’re perfectly fine with individuals defying congressional subpoenas. Kevin McCarthy, Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks, Jim Jordan and Scott Perry have all defied congressional subpoenas to this day.
@CarlForAlabama We don’t need Trump back in the White House. He is a threat to national security. And, since you’re so obsessed with the border, we will expect you to push strongly for support of the bipartisan Senate bill that will shut down the border.
@CarlForAlabama Jerry Carl supports an ex-POTUS that has been indicted 4 times on 91 criminal charges. The only issue Carl mentions is the border. A school shooting just occurred at Leflore HS in Mobile. Carl needs to focus on the many issues affecting Alabama, one of which is gun violence.
