Another shocking court ruling for white Montgomery cop who killed unarmed black man

It’s OK for cops to kill black people in Alabama.  That’s what the Alabama court system is telling us. That’s what the Alabama court system is making sure of.  That the murder of a poor black man doesn’t derail the career of a young, white cop.  Not in Alabama.  Because make no mistake about it, … Continued

Changes to the Alabama Democratic Party are long overdue

It should have happened a long time ago.  Nancy Worley has no business being the chair of the Alabama Democratic Party for as long as she has been. And Joe Reed has no business being the party’s kingmaker by virtue of a vague — and often misquoted — consent decree.  On Thursday, the Credentials Committee … Continued

If GOP economics work, why do Alabama leaders tax the working class?

Jorge Ruiz probably fell asleep at the wheel and caused a fatal crash. An Autauga County judge sentenced him to 99 years.

A 19-year-old guy stayed up too long, made a bad decision to drive while tired, fell asleep … Continued

Montgomery is broken: A cautionary tale for the rest of Alabama

There was a mayoral forum on Wednesday night in Montgomery, where the 11 candidates for mayor presented their strategies for saving the town and restoring law and order.  It is hopeless.  Chances are, if you don’t live in Montgomery, you don’t care much about who is elected mayor or about the everyday problems that plague … Continued

Analysis | Desperation grows as Joe Reed’s power within the DNC is threatened

We are entering the final days of Joe Reed’s control over the Alabama Democratic Party.  You can tell by the desperation.  A couple of weeks ago, Reed and party chairwoman Nancy Worley were booting media and all but a select few people from a conference call, and making wild claims in the process.

Why aren’t we better than this?

There are good people in Alabama.  I know this to be true. I’ve lived here my entire life. I’ve seen the good people of this state in action.  I’ve watched them help each other after tragedies. I’ve watched them stop to help strangers on the side of the road. I’ve watched them go to unimaginable … Continued
