Faith. George Michael crooned about it; black people in America somehow maintain it—even if it’s the size of a mustard seed—time and time again.

In a holiday miracle as wondrously joyous as that time a brown woman from the Middle East managed to give birth to a blond, blue-eyed baby, Alabama Republicans certified the Alabama Senate special-election results, effectively ending Roy Moore’s legal claims that it was impossible that so many black people voted…

Police need to make a wellness run to Roy Moore’s home to make sure he’s OK, because he isn’t handling this breakup well at all. Some weeks ago, black women in Alabama stormed on the voting booths like:

2017 has been, how do I put this succinctly, a fucking shit year.

Shortly after the Alabama Senate special election, Roy Moore was allegedly seen standing outside waiting for Doug Jones’ victory tour bus. When Jones emerged, a battered and desperate Moore began singing to the senator-elect and his entourage.

After an arduous election, Alabama elected Democrat Doug Jones to the Senate over the embattled equestrian enthusiast and Republican candidate Roy Moore. For the first time in a quarter century, there will be a “D” beside the name of an Alabama senator, and you can thank black voters for that.

Black-voter turnout for…

What you are about to see might be the scariest thing you’ve seen online since someone released that close-up image of Donald Trump’s hair. It’s scarier than Chrisette Michele’s miscarriage photos. It’s scarier than the Chrisette Michele “Black Lives Matter” song. I want to say it’s scarier than Chrisette Michelle,…

In a long-overdue (and, frankly, yet to be seen) declaration, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez recently acknowledged the importance of black women to newly elected Alabama Sen. Doug Jones’ victory.

Don’t be fooled—the Democratic Party didn’t do this. The national media didn’t do this. Doug Jones didn’t even do this.

Tuesday’s special election in Alabama is monumental for the people who live in the state as well as for the rest of us across the United States. Of the two men vying to take the seat vacated by Jeff Sessions in February when he resigned to accept his new job as U.S. attorney general, one is a well-respected former…

Birmingham, Ala., Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2017, 4:50 p.m. CST: A few minutes ago, I cast my ballot for Doug Jones to fill the Senate seat left empty when Jefferson Beauregard Sessions joined the Trump administration to become America’s chief of police beatings and marijuana arrests law enforcement officer.

Leonard Robinson was convicted of felony possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute by the state of Alabama more than 20 years ago. Although he doesn’t consider himself an activist, everyone who knows him understands that there is one subject that he is always passionate about. He works hard to spread the…

When die-hard Republicans engage in the often fruitless exercise of soliciting black and other minority voters to buck the stranglehold of the Democratic voting bloc and join the constantly shrinking tent of the Grand Old Party, they always resort to the same tactics. They declare themselves “the party of Lincoln” and…

Let’s be clear about something: Asking President Donald Trump, an accused sex offender, about Alabama Republican Roy Moore, the U.S. Senate candidate who’s been accused of sexual assault, is like asking Harvey Weinstein to comment on R. Kelly.

Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore of Alabama has been accused of crimes that, in a more decent and responsible county, would make him ineligible to apply for a job as a peep show janitor, let alone run for U.S. Senate.

This election season could prove that “the resistance” is really all bullshit. On Tuesday, in states like Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and on Dec. 12 in Alabama, there are big chances to begin striking back—and in a language that can scare people like White House chief of staff John Kelly, his boss,…
