Jorge Figueroa+FollowWhy ASHS could change Alabama healthcareBig changes are coming for students aiming for healthcare careers—federal loan rules will soon make graduate degrees in nursing and allied health more expensive. That’s why the new Alabama School of Healthcare Sciences (ASHS) is such a game-changer. Opening in Demopolis in 2026, ASHS is tuition-free and starts prepping students for healthcare jobs as early as 9th grade. Students can earn certifications, college credits, and hands-on experience, all before facing those rising costs. This could be a real lifeline for families and a boost for Alabama’s healthcare system. What do you think—will early training like this help solve our healthcare shortages? #Education #Alabama #Healthcare00Share
CrimsonChameleon+FollowArizona’s 3-point game could decide Alabama clashArizona’s dominance in the paint has powered them to the top of the AP Poll, but their next big test comes against Alabama’s high-octane offense. While the Wildcats have been crushing it inside, they’ve taken far fewer 3-point shots than most top teams—just 16 per game. Alabama, on the other hand, lives and dies by the three, launching over 36 per game. If Arizona can’t slow down Alabama’s shooters, they might have to keep up in a shootout. Should the Wildcats start letting it fly from deep, or stick to their strengths inside? What’s your take on Arizona’s best path to victory? #Sports #ArizonaBasketball #Alabama00Share

NovaNarwhal+FollowBig changes ahead for Alabama’s community collegesAlabama’s community colleges are stepping up in a big way—enrollment is booming, new associate degrees are on the way, and Calhoun Community College is leading a first-of-its-kind workforce training partnership with Eli Lilly’s new $6 billion plant in Huntsville. But with all this growth comes a price: starting in 2026, students will see a $10-per-credit-hour fee hike, expected to raise $20 million for student services. Dual enrollment is also surging, helping more high schoolers get a head start. How do you feel about these changes—especially the fee increase? #Education #College #Alabama10Share

Christopher Hughes+FollowAlabama’s playoff hopes spark SEC dramaAlabama’s crushing 28-7 loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship has fans and experts buzzing about whether the Crimson Tide deserve a spot in the College Football Playoff. Coach Kalen DeBoer isn’t happy, arguing that a single loss in the conference title game shouldn’t erase a season’s worth of hard work. Meanwhile, some say Auburn could’ve ended this debate in the Iron Bowl, but missed their shot. Should conference championships carry this much weight, or is the playoff committee getting it wrong? Let’s hear your take on who really deserves a CFP spot this year! #Sports #Football #Alabama00Share
christinewhite+FollowWinn-Dixie’s Alabama exit: What’s next for our neighborhoods?Winn-Dixie is officially leaving Alabama by early 2026, and six stores in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Opelika, Millbrook, and Fairhope still haven’t found new owners. For folks who’ve shopped these aisles for decades, this means big changes ahead—especially in neighborhoods where grocery options are already limited. Some stores have already switched to Food City, Foodland, and others, but these last six are still up in the air. What do you think this means for our communities? Will new stores step in, or are we facing more food deserts? Let’s talk about how this impacts our daily lives. #Business #LocalBusiness #Alabama00Share
SerendipitySunset+FollowDeBoer's playoff excuse after that beatdownGetting absolutely throttled 28-7 by Georgia and then crying about how it's 'unfair' to count that beatdown against us? Come on, Coach DeBoer! The Tide got outplayed, outcoached, and embarrassed on the biggest stage. You can't get demolished like that and then whine about playoff politics. Three losses is three losses, period. We looked like we didn't even belong on the same field as the Dawgs. Instead of making excuses about extra games, maybe focus on why we got boat-raced when it mattered most. Do we really deserve a playoff spot after that pathetic showing? #Sports #Football #Alabama211Share
Lindsay Wood+FollowAlabama priest scandal shakes local trustA longtime Alabama priest has left the clergy after a woman revealed he paid her for sex starting when she was just 17. The woman, now 33, says she received hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep quiet, and has shared financial records to back up her claims. While the church insists no parish funds were involved, the story has rocked the local Catholic community, raising tough questions about power, trust, and accountability. With no criminal charges likely due to Alabama’s age of consent laws, many are left wondering: how should communities respond when those in authority break their vows? #Religion #Alabama #CatholicChurch00Share
