This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a blueprint for action. Bob Zellner joins us to explore how lessons from the Civil Rights movement apply to organizing, resisting, and rising up in the face of injustice. This conversation couldn’t be more timely. #southernprogressive #civilrights

Here's a thread of a few photos I took today at the #handsoff event in Mobile, Alabama today #southernprogressive #Alabama #dirtroaddems

Hell of a great day #Alabama. Well done. Well damn done indeed. But the work continues. Consistency is key. Unionize. Join an org/party. Protest/rally. Call/email. Everyone can do something. Not matter your time or ability level. Or if you're in the mood, join us alabamaprogress.org.

apnews.com/article/trum... Trump’s out here swinging golf clubs while folks are in the streets fighting back. Voter suppression, wild tariffs, & straight-up disrespect for democracy—Folks are fed up, Trump & Elon. #HandsOff

Let’s go!!

A few shots from Mobile, Alabama. Not a bad turnout for this town

Via @rchapoco.bsky.social : More than 500 people gathered on the steps of the Alabama State Capitol Saturday for a "Hands Off" protest against the actions and policies of President Donald Trump.

Special event brings community together to stand against gun violence

Excellent turnout in Mobile! Show us your signs. #handsoff #southernprogressive #alabama

Don’t be fooled that Trump’s tariffs are just incompetence. It’s about power, just like the Exec orders issued to law firms and higher ed. He is counting on corporate America to come to him on bended knee asking for exceptions & giving loyalty in return. He doesn’t give a damn about the economy.

Good morning #Alabama! Busy day ahead! Stay smart and safe out there! Cause good trouble. Always remember giving hecklers/"counter-persons" any sort of attention is giving them power. Don't give it to them. Eyes on the prize! Take care of one another out there and listen to your leaders/organizers.

See y’all tomorrow.

Some folks think being a Democrat in Alabama is pointless. Change can start with just one person showing up, speaking up, and standing firm. Tell us what keeps you fired up in a deep-red state? #SouthernProgressive #YallMeansAll

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their oligarch friends think this country belongs to them. On April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to say: Hands Off! #HandsOff #April5

A plan to slash funding for the National Endowment for the Humanities will cripple its Alabama affiliate, the Alabama Humanities Alliance, by ending grant programs and canceling longstanding initiatives that promote history, art and culture throughout the state.

Are we great again yet?

From storytelling festivals to history projects, humanities initiatives across Alabama to be hit hard by federal budget cuts. DOGE cuts mean Alabama Humanities Alliance likely to lose "all or most" of its budget. www.al.com/news/birming...

Here's a link to yesterday's AHDC Press Conference featuring Reps. Sellers, Warren, and Drummond on improving education in Alabama and impending federal budget cuts. #ForwardForFreedom #alpolitics youtu.be/tUGhRmlF2Hw

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama cannot prosecute people for helping others travel across state lines to access abortion care. This is a win for our freedom of speech and our right to travel freely.

We strongly oppose the recent threats to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). We need everyone to email their federal legislators and demand all administrative employees be returned to work and that statutory functions be reinstated: action.everylibrary.org/emaileo2025

Cory. Booker. 🙌🏽

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.
