Don't Fucking Play with me, David. HELL YEAH...
Alabama Governor's race. African American turnout much larger than '22 midterms. Larger turnout across all dem precincts, lower GOP turnout in R districts. Strategists increasingly convinced dem Doug Jones will defeat R Tommy Tuberville and capture AL Gov race.

as a teacher in alabama. it’s so bad in our schools. we can’t keep teachers, subs, paras…the kids are getting worse (behavior and learned helplessness) and we are not making enough to deal with it all. but their main focus is if we have bibles and sing star spangled banner
Voting in Alabama is so interesting because why are they so focused on religion when these kids cant even read.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.
Hundreds of Minnesotans are leaving their "I voted" stickers at the site where Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE agents.

Whether or Doug Jones wins or not change is coming to Alabama eventually it did under George Wallace eventually bad guys lose and the day will come when the Republican party will no longer run this state even if tuberville manages to win.

I served in Vietnam. I seriously resent what that orange bitch, his family and his accomplices are doing to the country I fought for.

Walked 3 blocks to the polls to vote today. I didn’t want to drive. I thought about my HBCU Family walking to the polls, my Ancestors who did it, my Grandma who was very active politically in Birmingham, Alabama. Also thought about my Mama & Daddy who always took me to vote. VOTE

Yup They started in 2014
A major investigation has uncovered an Israel-linked, three-year disinformation operation designed to spread Islamophobia, anti-migrant hatred and far-right conspiracy theories across more than 30 countries. The operation spent £6.12 million generating 800 million advertising exposures across social media platforms. The UK was among the worst-affected countries, with 154.1 million exposures, followed by France (120.6 million), the US (99.7 million), Italy (76.2 million) and Germany (34.3 million). These campaigns include claiming that there's an Islamic invasion and Muslim countries are buying European buildings and converting them into mosques. In the UK, 61% of comments sampled on targeted Facebook adverts expressed support for Islamophobic views. Think about that. Millions spent deliberately exploiting prejudice, spreading conspiracy theories and turning Muslims into scapegoats and to dehumanise them. The Nazi regime also ran a massive, state-sponsored propaganda and disinformation campaign.

We need to treat Tommy Tuberville like Nick Saban treated him the last time he coached in this state run him out on a rail LOL one of the best days in Alabama football was watching Glen Coffee run all over Auburn and Tuberville and send his ass home youtu.be/rfK6_E57__8?is=NxMh…

Tonight is likely to be a rejection of @MikeRogersForMI. All my tweeting aside, I’ve known Mike & Kristi for 30+ years, I know how much it will hurt to lose. If that happens, I hope they accept this in the spirit in which this is offered: You deserve to be miserable after the appalling bigotry you’ve spread like napalm. Go away.

Polls are open 7AM to 7PM, Alabama. A #VOTE for @DougJones is a vote for all of us.
Auburn fans, stop letting Tommy Tuberville embarrass us over and over. Vote for Doug. Vote for a better Alabama. Send Tommy back to Florida 🫡
