Sweet Home Alabama

There’s a five-alarm fire raging among the kids in this state and our elected officials, from the top on down, are out back peeing on a brush fire. And missing.

Four of Alabama’s members of the House of Representatives voted yes to the resolution while three others voted no. Voting yes were Reps. Jerry Carl, R-Mobile, Mike Rogers, R- Saks, Dale Strong, R-Huntsville, and Terri A. Sewell D-Birmingham.

On the no side were Reps. Robert Aderholt, R-Haleyville, Barry Moore, R-Enterprise, and Gary Palmer, R-Hoover.

Johnson’s conviction for the killing of off-duty sheriff’s deputy William Hardy rested almost entirely on the “earwitness” testimony of a woman who claimed to be on a three-way call with Johnson and heard him confess to the killing. The woman had never met Johnson nor heard his voice, and Johnson’s attorneys, after the trial, learned that the woman had been paid $5,000 for her testimony. No physical evidence linking Johnson to the murder exists.

A federal court in Birmingham on Tuesday will hear arguments on which of three proposed congressional voting maps should be implemented for the 2024 election cycle.

The only way bigotry can spread is by good and decent people refusing to push back against it.

Why do Alabamians feel pride in struggling? The poor rally behind this idea that being poor and poorly educated is a badge of honor and it makes no sense. You guys don't really seem to ever question whether or not your values and beliefs are doing anything for the objectively awful lives you live.

Yes I know it isn't every one of you, but the people in charge are somehow able to keep hold of y'all.

Discuss.

More years of I-65 construction.

My hope is for this to become a space where people in some way affiliated with the state of Alabama can discuss news, life, memes, etc related to living in (or being from) Alabama.
