The black community of Alabama are the Maccabees!

Happy Hannukah!

I hope this puts to rest any notion of dismissing our base with the perjorative label "identity politics."

This is the future of the Democratic party, and if we forget it, we are doomed.

The black communities in Alabama are really into GOTV. A lot of the problems stem from lack of transportation. So, my kid, after voting and dumping the granddaughters on her dad, ran out 2 full tanks of gas to take folks to the polls.
