About Trump v. Barbara: Do not give the Court and the CJ credit for reading and upholding the Constitution. It's a travesty that this is not a unanimous decision... it's also a travesty that the Court let this question percolate for a year, giving credence to a crank theory of citizenship.

Happy JACKIE ROBINSON DAY! On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers, marking the end of MLB segregation. But if the NFL hadn't also been segregated, we would likely be celebrating someone else today. That's because Jackie Robinson would have been in the NFL.

In 2024, Black Alabamians made history by electing two Black members of Congress when they voted on a congressional map that, for the first time ever, was fair. Thanks to the determination and perseverance of these Black voters, this equal and fair representation will remain in place.
