Ummm yeah…soooo, how did Mitch McConnell pull off “going home” with no one in the media actually seeing him leave? There have been people watching that hospital like a hawk. Now there’s no real Capitol police presence outside the home??? 😒 come on now..

Of all of the crazy mess that has happened in 2026, this so far takes the cake!

Juneteenth isn't about division—it's about remembering the day freedom finally reached those it had long been denied. If we celebrate America's independence, we can honor America's journey toward liberty for all. History is strongest when we tell the whole story. 🇺🇸✊🏾 — Rod

One of the most unimaginable stories that I’ve ever seen. I’m going to try to keep this one in the spotlight until we see real movement.

I've had a few days to reflect. I'm disappointed by Alabama's runoff turnout, but not discouraged. The work continues. From now until November, I'll be using this page to keep Alabamians informed, engaged, and ready to vote. Stay informed. Stay motivated. Let's get to work. -Rod

A storm was passing through, so we had a Smith household talent show!! I can always count my oldest daughter to join in my nonsense!!!

Rev. Jesse Jackson, job well done, sir. I will never give up because, “I am somebody.” Rest in power!

There’s not many times that people and their opinions make me angry, but this was one of those moments. If you’re going to be an ally, learn from those of us who experience it on a daily basis!

If I’m being real, I think the thing that they don’t want out is that they were probably eating them. We know everything else…

I was asked about Substack earlier. I haven’t been big on it and I’ve had it for a while, but clearly we’re going to have to share information everywhere we can because of this regime in charge. You can find me here.

My friends: Once again, an American life was taken unjustly. The killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minnesota should alarm us all. Silence is complicity. Demand accountability from your leaders—or replace them. We are not going backward. We move forward. -Rod

It was an ex£cution. Again, we have nothing to say to the people that support this mess.

I do believe Dr. King would be proud of “some” of the progress that has been made, but he’d be confused by us going from Obama to Trump. On this day as we honor his legacy, let us remain committed to justice and equality for all. This administration MUST be held accountable!!

Rod the Historian @rodthehistorian.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

I have a legit question. WTF is the purpose of Congress coming back if they’re not doing anything? Like are we just going to pretend as if this man is not destroying the whole damn planet and hope that it stops?? I need answers!!

There’s nothing to talk about at this point.

The U.S. attacking Venezuela without Congress, then seizing its president, is unconstitutional and dangerous. I don’t support dictators—but war powers belong to Congress. “No new wars” was a lie. Fix healthcare and childcare instead of shredding democracy abroad.

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served. Your courage and dedication have helped keep peace here in the United States and around the world. We’re forever grateful for your sacrifice and service.

America, let’s do this again in 2026 and beyond! This is what happens when we stay motivated and engaged with the political process. What a momentous evening!

We’re now finding out that Merrick Garland slow walked the investigations on purpose. My word, we were doomed from the start. 🙄

I support legislation to improve access to medical care in rural Alabama. 90% of women of childbearing age live 30+ mins from care—some drive 70+ miles. Healthcare is a human right. We must invest in rural facilities. Caring for our neighbors should never be negotiable. -Rod Smith

#politics I do not like the game that is being played in our faces right now. It is too coincidental.

What we see is a battle between three groups within the Republican Party. Traditional conservatives, the far right, and then the far far right. My friends, don’t bother engaging with it, they have to sort it out themselves! It’s their fault for flirting with them in the first place.

Rod the Historian @rodthehistorian.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

I’m curious, will the right apologize for getting ahead of the facts? (Sarcasm) I can’t help but notice their videos blaming “the left” have disappeared! At some point, they’ll have to acknowledge that these type of events are folks of their ideology!

I hope everyone understands what I’m saying here. This is not directed at anyone specifically, there is a lot happening and I don’t want good people that are fighting to improve society to get caught up in something that they may not necessarily understand.

#Politics it’s a telling sign that he can’t find the energy for other serious events. Don’t get me started on that glitchy video…

I see everything that has taken place today. Be vigilant, stay alert, most importantly, stay safe! Ignorance has no boundaries.

I’m still in shock over the news about Charlie Kirk. My prayers go out to his family, friends, and all who witnessed this tragedy. Please keep this space respectful—if you feel negative, refrain from commenting. I know that we all have our thoughts and opinions, but mentally, I can’t right now.

They are done following this man’s talking points on foreign policy.
