Katie Britt's Trump whisperer strategy isn't working for Alabama | Alabama Reflector And it's making it hard to tell where Alabama's soon-to-be senior U.S. senator stands on some critical issues.

My column today. Two recent profiles present U.S. Sen. Katie Britt as using uncritical public support of Trump to secure some wins for Alabama behind the scenes. But those policies -- from trade to anti-DEI -- are hurting her constituents now, and her approach makes it hard to know her real beliefs.

Eyewitness account: Good morning, My name is Brandon Siguenza, and l am a US citizen from Minneapolis. Yesterday, while doing legal observation, ICE stopped their cars to harass my friend and me. They sprayed pepper spray into the vent of our vehicle. We held our hands in the air and told them we were not obstructing, that the car was in park and they were free to drive forward and away. There was no active immigration raid. They returned to their cars, and drove forward a bit, then decided to stop again. They surrounded us, smashed the windows of our car, opened the doors (they were unlocked), ripped my friend and I out of the car and arrested us on charges of obstruction. I was put in an unmarked SUV, separated from my friend. As I was put in the back seat an ICE agent tore the whistle off my neck and said "I'll be taking this, I might need it later." My phone was knocked out of my hand while being arrested. As we drove away I asked the driver and the passenger if they wouldn't mind buckling my seatbelt, as they were driving erratically. I was ignored. I asked them if I could have the handcuffs loosened, as I was losing circulation, and was told no. At one point the passenger realized his own driver's license was in the backseat next to mine, and tried to surreptitiously grab it without me seeing it. We were taken to the Whipple federal building, where I saw dozens of brown people being processed in an unheated garage. I was frisked, told of my charges, and saw buses and vans being prepped. I later learned that these were being filled with detainees and driven to the airport for deportation. As we were led in, I noticed that the building was very busy. I got the impression that one of the 2 agents bringing me around was being trained. At multiple points throughout my stay, government agents were unable to open doors, not sure where they were meant to be going, and overall confused and overwhelmed. They couldn't figure out how to use the building phones, or complai…

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

I saw Foo Fighters, Cave In, The Transplants, Pixies, and A Perfect Circle there. Will be forever bummed I couldn't go to that Nirvana show but I was only 10 and my parents wouldn't let me 🫠

Glad you could make it with the horrible weather!

I had the fully loaded Bear Burger, 100% backed

Merrick Garland reads the news over a cup of herbal tea at 10am.

"Golly!," he exclaims, before turning to his wife. "Ah well, nothing anyone could have done to prevent this."

Wordlessly, she shatters the glass holding her 5-1 vodka-to-OJ screwdriver, leaves. Maybe he'll clean up that mess at least

And here I was thinking nearby apartments having business names and listings was strange

Hey #Alabama. Big request. We got a survey on policies for the working class and we need this to spread like wildfire across the state so we can drive candidates on what they need to do. Thank you for your attention to this matter. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I'm considering going to the theatre showing next month

Maybe they shouldn't have let a fascist come put on a fake commencement address, huh?

I use Eargasms and really like them - it attenuates the sound rather than muffling it like some plugs

We waste so much energy holding their feet to the fire to keep them from co-signing our deaths and the destruction of this nation. Imagine if they were our allies and freed up all of that bandwidth to fight the fascists and also spared us so much heartache.

There's a local band Grand Champ that also has a Greg Maddux song 😆

Sign the Petition Demand the Release of Giovanna Hernandez

ICE arrested a woman in Bham this morning on her way to work. She’s been here since she was 7, got her Master’s in social work from Jacksonville State, has no criminal record, and works at the Hispanic and Immigrant Center of Alabama. And now she’ll likely be deported. www.change.org/p/demand-the...

They all plugged their ears except for the "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" lyric and decided that meant whatever they wanted it to, so suddenly mask and vaccine requirements at venues meant "now you rage FOR the machine" 🤡

Aye #Alabama! We may have been quiet, but we have been working! Share the ever loving heck outta this! Drop on by listen in and participate as well!

This year, Donald Trump and the extremist majority of the Supreme Court have been working overtime to destroy student loan debt relief for many millions of Americans.

A HUGE chunk of the MAGA base was led to believe this administration would release the Epstein Files.

They lied to you.

Every Alabama Republican politician should be openly pressuring this administration to release the files.

Silence is Complicity.

"Democrats don't want the Epstein files released because it would compromise Bill Clinton."

Yeah, no, I don't care who's in the files. If Bill Clinton is implicated, I want him held accountable. I'm not part of a cult. I don't give a shit if they're a Democrat.

Fun fact: you can use an incognito browser/tab and do this as many times as you want. Enjoy!

An 8yo girl from Mountain Brook- the community next to where we live- a girl who our son may have swum next to at camp last summer- died at camp in the horrid Texas floods. Fuck every last one of you who is gloating about red states getting what we deserve. I hope you choke on dog shit. Go away.
