After years of failed drainage fixes, #Shiloh residents deserve transparency. Why won't #ALDOT release the runoff calculations for its new drainage project? 📷 See 15 documented flood events in the Shiloh community between 2018-2026 here. Believe your eyes! https://canva.link/pmr2lcsu584gr5x

The best way to rediscover your love for America: help make it into what you want it to be. That doesn't only mean politics—run for school board, volunteer, garden, build community. @hcrichardson.bsky.sociall joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on The Focus Group:

Happy 250th, everybody! Reupping this piece on the Trump-MAGA betrayal of the Declaration, Obama's vision of patriotism, and Lincoln's "electric cord" speech, which is worth rereading to commemorate this moment: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

What has made America great has always been the American people. Those who work, even against seemingly insurmountable odds, to do their part to create a more perfect Union. We are America—and America is ours to shape. Don't forget it. Happy Fourth, and happy 250th. #WeAreAmerica250

Happy Fourth. On this day, I like to revisit Frederick Douglass’ “What to a Slave is the Fourth of July,” and in particular, this video NPR produced a few years back of portions of the speech being read by Douglass’ descendants. youtu.be/NBe5qbnkqoM?...

🚧 #ALDOT is preparing to construct a federally funded drainage project in #Shiloh, yet the residents most affected by 8 years of #flooding have not been given a public meeting to review the plans or ask questions. That needs to change. #JusticeforShiloh 🔗 Learn more: https://ow.ly/AmLp50YIfGU
