Education is the key to a strong society, so when information is hidden and dishonest, that hinders the future of our society and limits the amount of change possible.

One of the reasons why prices are up? Corporations have figured out they can use inflation as cover to not only pass along their own increased costs to consumers, but also to price gouge to boost their profit margins. We need tougher rules to prevent price gouging.
If you don't think you have privilege, listen to Jon Stewart and his staff explain it @TheProblem

"It’s hard enough growing up being different. It’s even harder growing up being different and then have the state legislature, your elected officials, the leaders of this state, put a target on children’s backs." -Ala. state Rep. Neil Rafferty

"You want life in Alabama to be so difficult that people who don't think like you or act like you go somewhere else." @RepEngland70
The @ALGOP is driving people, businesses, and progress out of this state.
Intentional or not, this message from Republicans appears to be working, according to the "Retain Alabama" report by @ACHE_EDU which looked at college students & why they may choose to stay or to go. Not sure if any lawmakers read it, but it says something about their work. 1/16

Today seems like a good time to remind us all that Medicare for All would save $450 billion a year.

By the age of 18, Over ONE HALF of Black USA children will be investigated by CPS. We need a massive Public Awareness campaign to warn Black people of this danger.

On this day in 1956, white men attacked Nat King Cole during a segregated performance in Birmingham, Alabama. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…

@ALSenateRepubs @ALSenateDems Vote no on HB312. Our students can handle a little more history, and a little less interference.

Two bills are up for vote tomorrow in Alabama Senate. HB312 and HB320 should both be a no. For children, families, and truth

A Black Alabama lawmaker asked her white colleague and the sponsor of a CRT ban whether he knew what the Middle Passage was. His answer: “Like, 1619 maybe?” al.com/news/2022/04/legislat…

Anti-CRT/Divisive Concept bills are unconstitutional. They give the government the ability to put a muzzle on protected free speech. For some CRT stands for Critical Race Theory. For others, it stands for Can’t Really Talk, Can’t Really Think, and Can’t Really Teach. #FreeSpeech
This is what Republican CRT zealots have wrought: @LisaMcNair17, sister of victim of 1963 KKK bombing of @16thstreetbham, says FL school district @NewsECSD snubbed her speaking to students out of "fear" of @GovRonDeSantis. Y'all good with that? bit.ly/3r3UEXM
Congratulations @RepHollis ! A long time coming. Thanks for your hard work.
