The Alabamafication of Amerikkka

Brian Lyman @brianlyman.bsky.social · 2h

My column this week. Keep an eye on this Alabama constitutional amendment that would prevent naturalized citizens from holding most state offices. It feels like it has a much bigger target in its sights: the due process provisions of the 14th Amendment.

This Alabama bill targets immigrants. And the 14th Amendment. | Alabama Reflector

A proposed constitutional amendment backed by Secretary of State Wes Allen could provide another way to attack citizenship and due process.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

In the same way that Speaker Johnson & MAGA Republicans never seem to have read/seen/heard about/been notified of anything that Trump says, Tweets, or even what he does, now Trump himself has not read/seen/heard about/been notified of HIS OWN ACTIONS. Even to himself, he is Schrödinger's President.

The transcript is unreadable. Nora O'Donnell has absolutely no control over the interview. She doesn't push back, she can barely ask her questions and she sure can't shut him up. Sadly, the people who need to hear how incoherent he is don't read so he's safe from it coming back to bite him.

Sunny, a yellow lab belonging to a 93-year-old man, went missing in a nature preserve in Los Angeles.

To get her back, volunteers filled traps with food they knew Sunny couldn’t resist: homemade meatballs, kielbasa and rotisserie chicken.

Man, 93, reunites with lost dog after rescuers lure her with his socks

“She wanted to get back to him; she just didn’t know how,” rescue volunteer Jennifer Justice said.

As SNAP funds froze, mayors and governors have pledged to supplement the missing federal assistance, while federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration should use contingency funds to keep food aid running despite the government shutdown.

Uncertainty hits after vulnerable Americans woke up to a SNAP freeze

Amid a benefits pause, nonprofit groups plan to work extra hours to get food out to vulnerable residents, and local community members are also stepping up.

Just spent nearly two hours in a line of cars to drop food off for families losing their SNAP benefits. Right now is a literal nightmare but it is incredible to see communities coming together. Everyone understands that the only ones to save us is us.

In New York City, again, efforts to restrict solitary confinement have been in limbo due to Eric Adams’ orders to block a reform. Will the race to replace him, plus the extraordinary federal takeover of Rikers, change this status quo, Piper French asks?
