  1. Fuck the Business Council of Alabama. The bosses get a union, but not the workers? That's BULLSHIT. Organize your workplace today and tell the bosses to suck a rotten one.

  21. Some background info about Patrick Braxton, Newbern Alabama, and how Mr. Braxton came to be in this situation. Some of the best reporting came from, you guessed it, Capital B News! (Btw you can follow them #OnHere: @capitalbnews.org)

    Incidentally, architecture buffs may have heard of Auburn University's Rural Studio, an architecture program based on Samuel Mockbee's philosophy that everyone, rich or poor, deserves an inspiring home to live in? Well that program's students and resources designed and built the Newbern fire station. Which Patrick Braxton was also locked out of.

  25. Remember Patrick Braxton? The absolute legend who got sick of his small Alabama town being run by a bunch of unelected racist anti-vaxxers? The guy who ran for mayor of Newbern, AL, and won, despite said unelected officials trying to give him the wrong information about running for office? The guy who was then subsequently locked out of the mayor's office by said racist anti-vaxxers and sued?

    Well, he has had a minor setback: a federal judge refused to grant his and other plaintiffs' request for an immediate injunction forcing Haywood "Woody" Stokes III (the unelected, white mayor who inherited the mayoralty from a 60-year-long chain of unelected white men) to stop locking Braxton out of town hall and step down. She noted that the plaintiffs, by waiting over a year to file the suit, failed to show the urgency of the request. However, she also noted that his argument in the trial, set to begin this September, is likely to win out.

  29. "“The simple fact is that my client’s 18-year-old son was calmer, more composed, and knew more about the law and police procedure than this trained, sworn and armed police officer,” [Twyla Stallworth's attorney Harry] Daniels said, adding, “That’s not just disturbing. It’s dangerous.”

    Johnson, the city’s mayor, also agreed. In that same announcement, Johnson said Barton would be disciplined but didn’t elaborate how and the entire department would receive training. [Stallworth's son, Jemari] Marshall didn’t receive an apology."
