  2. #PublicRadio Station Forced to Call #GulfOfMexico the #GulfOfAmerica

    The #UniversityOfAlabama at #Birmingham is rolling over to #Trump and his acolytes in the state, rather than stand up for editorial independence.

    Seth Stern, Clayton Weimers
    October 2 2026

    "The Alabama legislature passed a bill in late March requiring all state and local entities to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America,' in line with one of the many executive orders Trump signed on his first day in office. The legislation does not set forth penalties for noncompliance, but its sponsor, state Rep. David Standridge, called it 'an opportunity to make a patriotic statement' on the House floor in January. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, a Trump ally, signed the bill into law.

    "Birmingham public radio station WBHM told its listeners in a letter from Will Dahlberg, the station’s executive director and general manager, that due to the law, which took effect October 1, the University of Alabama at Birmingham is forcing it to use the legislature’s preferred language in its reporting. The move puts it at odds with #NPR, of which it is a member station; The #AssociatedPress, which publishes the style guide used by newsrooms across the country; and other journalistic institutions. The station is licensed to the university, making its employees both state and #UAB employees. Still, #WBHM ’s Journalism Code of Integrity emphasizes the newsroom’s independence and states that the university 'should not — and cannot — expect to exert influence on WBHM’s journalists and its independent editorial process.'

    "Dahlberg wrote that not implementing the new language 'may result in disciplinary action or termination of employees and affect WBHM’s relationship and support from UAB.' But nothing in the law requires the university to discipline or fire anyone. In other words, the university took a toothless stunt of a law, gave it teeth, and used them to take a bite out of #PressFreedom."

  11. As Evan Hurst reports, College Democrats at University of Alabama are mincing no words as they express their outrage about the university's invitation of Trump to give this year's commencement address. A copy of their statement is below. Zingy phrases:

  12. The Trump regime has expanded its blatantly unconstitutional college campus kidnapping spree beyond the Ivies; this time ICE snatched University of Alabama doctoral student Alireza Doroudi at his off campus home at 5AM on Tuesday. The DHS has refused to provide clarification for why Doroudi, a mechanical engineering student from Iran who is legally studying in the United States, was detained; beyond some vague nonsense about "national security."

    ICE detains University of Alabama doctoral student as government's college crackdown continues

    "David Rozas, an attorney representing Doroudi, said in a statement Saturday that they are "confused" about why Doroudi was detained. Doroudi has maintained lawful status while studying at the university, Rozas said.

    "We have not been made aware of any allegations of misconduct against my client," Rozas said. "We do not believe he is suspected to have committed any crimes nor participated in any political activities whatsoever."

    He said Doroudi has a pending EB-2 application, a pathway to a green card for immigrants who hold an advanced degree or have "exceptional ability."

    A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said in an emailed statement: "ICE HSI made this arrest in accordance with the State Department’s revocation of Doroudi’s student visa. This individual posed significant national security concerns."

    Given the DHS's refusal to provide adequate details, many mainstream news outlets are reporting that it's unclear if this particular visa revocation and ICE kidnapping is part of Trump's larger fascist war on college campus protestors and people who write op-eds criticizing Israel's genocide in Gaza. Given the methods the regime used to target Doroudi and fact that ICE has already shipped him to the notorious detention center in Louisiana that it shipped most of the other students to however, I think that position is a little too credulous. At a minimum, sources at the University of Alabama have indicated that the community there regards this as part of Trump's racist repression of international students.
