G.O.P. Figures Seek Distance From Tucker Carlson, Denouncing Antisemitism

What #Alabamians and Alabama GOP elected officials are going to pay money to 1819 News to see anti-Semitic #TuckerCarlson November 14th. One hopes Barber’s Motorsports Museum who is listed as host for this event cancels. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

I may think of a suggestion once I pick my jaw up off the floor.

Among Portland Protests, It’s Frogs and Sharks and Bears, Oh My! Images of anarchists clad in black gave the city a bad name in 2020. Now, demonstrators in Portland are poking fun at President Trump’s apocalyptic talk with colorful animal suits.

President Trump has used apocalyptic language to describe Portland, Oregon. Some demonstrators protesting ICE are responding with colorful animal suits. “It was just to contrast the narrative that we are violent extremists. The best way to show that for me is being in a frog costume.”

Overheard at the White House, “I’d kill to win the #NobelPeacePrize.” #DonaldTrump

This is how we win. Absurdity is difficult to recontextualize as violence. Protest as frogs. Protest as clowns. Protest in weird, absurd, visually-striking non-violent ways designed to go viral. Seize the soapbox through laughter and joy and free expression. Be weird and wonderful proudly in public.

Man I use to fill a Yazoo “Big Wheel” push lawn mower up with “white gas” with one of those gas cans … great finds

Xitter post by Brilyn Hollyhand dated 10 OCT 25. It’s even his pinned post as of the morning of the 11th. “Standing room only at the University of Alabama last night is more proof that this isn't a fad or trend: Gen Z is off the sidelines and in the fight and our movement is stronger than ever! Gen Z's time isn't in the future. It's today!” Image accompanying has a heap of older folks behind young Brilyn. Many appear WELL past Medicare-eligible age.

That crowd of youngsters in Tuscaloosa.

Tuscaloosa event on the 9th of October, 2025 looks 😳. I’d guess the average age in that picture might be 50ish or even older. His grandpa and pa might’ve needed to hire their boy some late teens and early 20s extras. At least place geezers in back and on edges for photo.

John to say it was “standing room only” is comical, it looks like plenty of seats on both sides of the room. I’m guessing <125

🤣🤣😎👍💯 I saw this as a screenshot on that other platform and knew that it was you. Glad I found you here.

Ok farm facts are back!

China is so much of the global soybean market, you can't make up losing them by selling to other countries. There isn't enough soybean demand in the world to fill that dent.

And farmers... know that.

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

This.
A thousand times THIS!

John look at the era of Ed “Big Ed” Richardson who was all in on test results proving “quality schools” I had an aha moment with “Big Ed” the year AL schools scored at national average on the SAT-9 along with EVERY state that used it because the “norm score” was established 5 years earlier.

Inside one new school cashing in on Alabama’s CHOOSE Act: ‘Changed our world’ Peach City Academy is one of at least a dozen private and microschools that have opened in Alabama recently.

Peach City’s founder, Charlotte Johnson “has also shelled out about $14,000 for new, faith-based curricula from Bob Jones University and Abeka.” JG - It’s worth reading about this new Alabama private school. Definitely consider deconstructing piece, using the Google, etc. www.al.com/educationlab...

So which one is the “true bill”?

HOLY SHIT

😎🤣 and NexStar… it would be hilarious if ABC/ESPN prevented their stations from showing college football because of their actions against @jimmykimmel.com @espn.com

Bruce Pearl regularly runs his mouth on various podcasts, etc. He’s prolific! Drones dare put harsh thoughts on social media. 😱 Yup, once again it appears Auburn U has severe standard for outlier lower level employees yet it’s absolute free rein for big shots shoveling out ‘conservative’ thought.

I've stayed away from media for the last few days for my own sanity, and what Kilmeade said and Fox allowed to air to millions just confirms why I made that choice.
We are in the deepest of the far right darkness now.
Take care of yourselves as best you can.

Alabama works to protect voucher recipients from consequences | Alabama Reflector Trying to create carve-out for athletes receiving vouchers reflects Alabama's attitude toward education: Only some people deserve it.

Another gem from Brian Lyman with an especially unsparing close. 👍🏼👏🫡

“Fears of corruption matter less than the terrifying thought of a private school kid being inconvenienced.

And there’s no bigger inconvenience to elite privilege than public education.”

I honestly believe if former State Superintendent Dr. Ed Richardson, as much as I disliked many of his positions, was still active in education the CHOOSE Act would have never seen the light of day.

My column this week. What a lawsuit about athletic eligibility for those enrolled in a voucher-like program reveals about Alabama leaders thoughts on who deserves a good education, and who deserves to be shielded from consequences.

How long before they try to expand into other states, like Alabama?

Lobbyists for a billionaire and a charter network pushed Florida lawmakers to expand a school privatization program, records show Miami billionaire Ken Griffin and New York charter school chain Success Academy lobbied for a new law that dramatically expands Florida's "Schools of Hope" program.

Can’t quite put my finger on why, but somehow the actual doodle makes it so much worse and more disgusting.

Okay on tacky scale of 1-10….Alabama Representative Barry Moore and #PresidentTrump hit a 10. Moore had Trump sign a funeral program in the Oval Office today. #alpolitics
