My native Alabama often is recognized by its most sinister sons—Wallace, Bull Connor, the 16th St. bombers—or sports figures Bryant & Saban. The fuller story belongs to @repjohnlewis, Rosa Parks, Frank Johnson, Autherine Lucy, Helen Keller, Nelle Harper Lee and so many others.

On the voting rights trail, bus riders to Montgomery retraced old steps while fighting a new fight. I got to ride along. My dispatch: https://t.co/9Fxn50rGB6

1/3
On May 15, Associated Press leadership cut 20 guild covered staff. Layoffs included U.S. news, photographers, investigations, business and sports across 12 states.

A hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP today — 40 reporters and photo/videographers who've taken buyouts as our US news operation shrinks. They've broken untold stories, captured searing images, held power to account and made us all smarter. We'll miss them dearly.

For the first time, President Trump’s most influential American critic doesn’t live in the country but in the Vatican. @BillBarrowAP looks at the unprecedented situation. https://t.co/BLC2MTarbk

You know Nick Saban still has an office and draws a check in Tuscaloosa, right? Any tweets about that when Alabama got a mulligan playoff spot in football?

@KevinScarbinsky “Earned.” A certain court case says hello.

[Bill Barrow @BillBarrowAP]

Just totally unacceptable for a coach to allow his team to perform like this in a rivalry game. And the NIL era is no excuse.

[Justin Ferguson @JFergusonAU]

blood everywhere in the box score for Auburn, as Alabama is...

+16 in points in the paint
+6 in rebounds
+8 in second-chance points
+11 in points off turnovers
-6 in turnovers

just a listless performance from a team in a rivalry game opportunity like this one

[Bill Barrow @BillBarrowAP]

With a Bediako asterisk, of course. But who’s counting.

Florida running Arkansas out of the gym in Gainesville up 24 late in the first half.

Gators will clinch at least a share of the SEC regular-season title if they close this out.

Only Alabama could tie them.

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

This is a huge loss for journalists and others who follow politics. @Gallup has been the top source for presidential approval since FDR and particularly valuable because of that historical context with apples-to-apples numbers that allow us to make comparisons and see patterns.

[Bill Barrow @BillBarrowAP]

@ByCasagrande @KevinScarbinsky I’d say the students were vindicated today regardless of the scoreboard.

[Bill Barrow @BillBarrowAP]

@KevinScarbinsky Playing like a real pro.

[Bill Barrow @BillBarrowAP]

@KevinScarbinsky Right call by the refs. Overwrought tweet by Kevin.

[Bill Barrow @BillBarrowAP]

@I_Sang_Dixie @repjohnlewis Like I said.

The Star-Tribune has done a great job. They’ve responsibly investigated real welfare fraud while also dispelling online smears of non-fraudulent companies targeted by influencers, carefully reported the details of the ICE raids and shootings. Very difficult job for low pay.

@ATLHawks You’re security procedures are either too much or you don’t have enough gates. It should not take 30 minutes to get in the arena when you arrive an hour before tipoff. Value your paying fans more, NBA. Or watch us stay home.
