"This special session was an affront to inclusive democracy and basic fairness, and it was a clear example of our policymakers' misplaced priorities," Arise's @robynhyden tells @gcntoday. #alpolitics gulfcoastmedia.com/stories/suprem…

“The Supreme Court has upended our election jurisprudence and done so in a way that severely, and systematically, disadvantages Black voters,” Arise's @DevWakeley tells the @ALReflector. #alpolitics alabamareflector.com/2026/05/11/u-s…

“Automatic restoration would be a reasonable and sustainable improvement on the process: what we really should be doing is to never disenfranchise people in the first place," Arise's @DevWakeley tells @elisecgregg at @MPBOnline. #alpolitics mpbonline.org/blogs/news/mis…

@toddcstacy I don't think I'll recognize Judiciary without him. It has been reliably the best run committee in the Legislature for years, and that's quite a feat considering the weighty matters considered there every week.

Judge Hill is universally respected in the halls of the State House. I appreciated his time and candor on Capitol Journal. Worth a watch, indeed.

@sovereignsuitor @datingbyblaine Practicality is the answer there too. Efficiency, maintenance, dependability, capacity likely factored higher than comfort when buying, particularly if he was starting out. Also, if he was in Philly then, driving/parking around the city could have weighed differently years ago.

@DevWakeley @datingbyblaine Yes I agree with you, but that's the answer to the question "Why does he still have it". What's your answer to my original question, "Why did he buy it" if he's a big guy getting into a little car?

@sovereignsuitor @datingbyblaine Because it was practical. It's an "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" situation with him deciding mild, persistent discomfort doesn't rise to the level of being a necessary change. It's worked, according to a low-maintenance definition, for him for years.

@DevWakeley @datingbyblaine Why did the man buy it in the first place? Here is my theory: He bought that car when he was a broke nobody. He drove it for years while he built himself up. Now he's a hotshot and he still appreciates the car for being there for him when times were tough.

Arise’s @DevWakeley testified Tuesday in support of the House-passed version of HB 475, and against proposed Senate changes through a substituted bill to weaken HB 475. We have his full remarks on our website. #alpolitics alarise.org/resources/alab…

Arise’s @DevWakeley spoke against the watered-down HB 475 that a Senate committee passed Tuesday. Arise supported the original bill, but we oppose the substitute that now lacks key consumer protections. Read Dev’s full remarks on our website. #alpolitics alarise.org/resources/alab…

“Our folks pay more for electricity than all of our neighboring states. That includes states where Southern Company owns the utility provider there,” Arise’s @DevWakeley tells @ALReporter. “It doesn’t make any sense.” #alpolitics alreporter.com/2026/04/01/sen…

@sovereignsuitor @datingbyblaine I'm a 6'3" former lineman. When I drive my wife's Honda Fit, it looks like the beginning of a comedy sketch, and I have to scoot down so my head isn't jammed against the roof. Men of that size and description just don't fit in those cars easily.

@datingbyblaine Very strange take. For a guy with "warm genuine energy" why would he want to be with a woman that cared about the car he drove? Actually sticking with this car could drive away women looking for the wrong things.

"Our state does not do voter registration well," Arise's @DevWakeley tells @decaturdaily. "That's a matter of intentional policy." #alpolitics yahoo.com/news/articles/…

@UofOklahoma You are feckless clowns, and this is a pathetic act of cowardice.

"The low road to economic development doesn’t make sense. The people who do the work in Alabama are essential, not disposable," Arise's @DevWakeley writes in a new blog post. #LaborDay #alpolitics alarise.org/blog-posts/sta…

Schroeder's leftist: Simultaneously hyperfocused on identity and also a class reductionist until the centrist decides which path of unprincipled dismissiveness feels better to them that day.

I'm not sure if it would be funnier if the campaign is paying staffers to say things this foolish or if Cuomo decided himself this was a good idea. Delete the account. Delete the campaign.

@andrewcuomo @ZohranKMamdani I'm not sure if it would be funnier if your campaign is paying staffers to say things this foolish or if you decided yourself this was a good idea. Delete your account. Delete your campaign.

Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment. You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich. Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it. We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it. Yet your apartment remains rented to rich people who don’t need it. Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity. Time to move out.

@aaronnarraph I could swear I followed you when I first saw this pop up on my feed, but somehow that appears to have unhappened. Curious, that.

Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate. I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the “universe” of voters to talk to. Here's how we won 🧵
