A hurricane heading for Mobile? Somewhere near, to be sure. Well, we survived the big blow of Trump's visit. We'll make it through this lesser wind. Hunkering down.

Dear Alabama, So, now you're mocking protesters of the president's visit to Mobile? Once, most Alabamians did that to another minority exercising its rights against the majority's will. How'd that one turn out for you? Your kids' kids will know better. Beat them to the punch. #Resist

Translating Trump… “All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate "Reporter," Kaitlan Collins, of Fake News CNN...They're all sick, treasonous, and demented!” Translation: Why didn’t my father love me? And do you know how important I have to feel to keep that thought out of my head?! #Resist

Do I rename the water in the guest bathroom toilet: a) The Sea of Trump b) The Bay of ICE? c) The MAGA Canal? I guess the important thing is: it's all going where it needs to, eventually. #Resist And please don't forget to flush this November (it's the thoughtful thing to do).

I don't so much think of myself as "optimistic" these days as I do a "fun" sort of rational. It will have to do. Especially come November.

So many pointless acts of violence these days; maybe we need a "shelter in place" order for everyone, everywhere. #Resist

In 2022, scientists tracked a bar-tailed godwit that flew 8,425 miles from Alaska to Australia, nonstop, without food or water. It remains a magnificent record from a bird the size of a loaf of bread. So, what are you waiting for, a map? Be a bar-tailed godwit. Find your Australia.

Wallet Hub has its 2026 educated population list out. The South has about 70% of the bottom 10 sewn up. Some say our glass is half-stupid. But we of the South answer, "What's that supposed to mean?" #RedFacedSouth #Resist #Education

Poli Sigh... So, Tubberville vs Jones is set to answer any question about the general IQ of Alabama voters. A real nail-biter. One day, more of us than not will stop looking for great where it never was and start laying the foundations for where it could be, instead. Until then #Resist .

What she wants for you is more important than who she is, than her life as a teacher, a funder of White Christmases, the maker of blankets for children in need, and more, much more. So she believes, though if you knew her better, you would disagree. And for you, she wants only:

If you live long enough, everything you remember will only exist in photographs and diaries, or in the puzzled faces of kids who remember being much taller than they are now. And you were a baby once, and everyone loved you. And everything was possible. The good stuff still is.

In a move that would shock a guy moonwalking in wool socks on a shag carpet, midwinter, Fox host Sean Hannity has declared he no longer considers himself a Catholic. Or, presumably, the starting center for the Boston Celtics.

The Pope and TDS? Early on, when I'd ask Christian conservatives how they could follow Trump and still claim Christ, they'd tell me if I had a better grasp of theology I'd understand. That has to sting a little, today. #Resist #PopeLeo

“Gov. Kay Ivey Signs Bill Requiring Display of 10 Commandments in Certain Public Schools” Made me wonder what the uncertain ones get. I'm kidding. They get shot--because kids can't vote, and Ivey turned Alabama into an unlicensed concealed carry state.

My East Wing Compromise: The Trump Memorial Goofy Golf. It'll have music (mostly Village People), a grift shop every few feet, and plenty of benches. They’ll set green fees at a million dollars to keep out riffraff, but they'll give you ten times that when you turn in your balls. #Resist

And the Rage Wars on… “We negotiate with bombs,” said Secretary of Peacewar, Pete Hegseth, while vowing to prosecute the action “as viciously as possible.” The aptness of that description cannot be lost on historians, members of The Hague, or more than a few Iranian schoolgirls. #NoKings

Here's an Idea... Swap teachers' pay, healthcare, and other benefits with Congress. Should be an eye-opening lesson in it. Those who shape the future first are taught how. #loveyourneighbor

Trump launched a war that helps no one, freed no one, stopped nothing, killed kids, spent billions, raised gas prices, made everyone less safe, and has no clear endgame. His only genius is in producing chaos and human suffering. At that, he's Mozart. #Resist

I live in the red South, and a lot of people were bitching about Bad Bunny's SB performance with: "I couldn't understand a word he was saying!" Me: Well, now you know how everyone else feels when you leave the South on a vacation.

Breaking News... Punxsutawney Phil left his burrow today in Gobbler's Knob, looked up, and was immediately surrounded, beaten, and whisked away by ICE Agents. So, that's six more weeks of unconscionable brutality, folks. Oh, and it's going to snow a lot, too. #Resist

Stand your ground, though it is easier to step aside. Speak, though it is safer to be silent. Bring peace among the violent, and mercy among the cruel. Be a guide and light in days of darkness, guard justice for the weak as for the strong. Stand, speak, be resolute and luminous. Resist.

Saw a Video Short... It went, "At this point Trump could save a child from wolves and liberals would be mad he's starving the wolves." I said, "Interesting hypothetical. At this point, he's seeing to it that kids go hungry all over the world, and you could give a shit." #Resist

To be fair, when Kierkegaard wrote that life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived moving forwards, the Republican Party was still years away from being formed. You have to admit they're a strong rebuttal. #Resist

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter the kingdom of God." MAGA: "Where's the line between the evil rich and you prosperous saints?" Me: Probably short of the 300 million dollar (ish) ballroom the homeless didn't ask for, and no one can eat.
