They've given up all pretense of wanting to attract new, solid businesses to OK. Since that's too hard for Republicans to manage, they've decided to just burn it all down. And Oklahomans are lining up with their gas cans to add fuel to the fire, knowing that their own houses will burn too. #Oklahoma

They're following their own playbook. Don't believe for a second that they didn't plan all this in advance. It's about showing what they CAN do if we don't fall in line. No kudos, no backing down, no acting like they did something benevolent or humane. They're FUCKING with us.

Six days in and it's completely apparent that we're not going to survive this. The United States of America is dead. Republicans are selling her organs and pissing on her corpse.

This is who Oklahoma's AG is giving reports to about human trafficking and the state of Oklahoma. In case you're still pretending this isn't a dystopic nightmare of a hellhole state www.dailykos.com/stories/2023...

City Elders is a White "Christian" Nationalist group formed in Tulsa Oklahoma to promote Project 2025 and all of the evil that goes with it. The fact that our AG sucks up to them is alarming at best and horrifying in reality.

Juliana is taking the same astronomy class that Max took. One night a week, they have class at the nearby observatory, which I loved so much when we got to visit in June. She sends me pictures to make me happy.

#Oklahoma has two senators. One believes 13 year olds can consent to sex because God. The other believes it's okay to show up to work drunk because GOP. And these are the people we have chosen to represent us because diversity is bad? We are SO broken.

Ran out of peanuts, hotdogs, and eggs. So when the crows showed up this morning, I took out crackers and a cup of Rikki's dog food. Apparently crows love dog food. #crows #mymorningmurder #birds

Got a flier for a City Council candidate. Go to look her up. Cover photo is a cross on a Bible against an American flag background. That's probably gonna be a no from me.

Did you pray for DJT to become president, vote for him because he's going to deport immigrants, and then celebrate Christmas because you love the baby Jesus? Then your church is failing you. Or you are failing your church. Or both.

Millions of Americans who voted for Trump believe they celebrated the birth of Christ unironically yesterday. The rest of us know better.

This government shutdown isn't just on Trump and Musk. It's on the millions of people who voted republican in the last election. This is exactly the chaos they wanted. We had good options. They didn't want that. They wanted the shitshow. Make them own it.

This is worse than they're closing. They scammed Oklahomans with the government's help. Because Oklahoma is the easiest target for these things. We knew from day one that this wasn't what they said it was. But Oklahoma's going to vote for intolerance over progress every time.

I was outside giving the crows their scrambled eggs and hotdog breakfast, carrying on a whole conversation with them. I didn't realize the neighbor was outside. He probably thinks I'm nuts.

Can we stop talking about the way some people are feeling about the killing of an oligarch and START talking about taking down the systems that make us live in a way that makes us feel so damn helpless in the face of oppression? What we're doing isn't working. What other options are there?

All that money made by denying healthcare to millions and not a cent of it is doing him any good now. It's hard to mourn our oppressors. It's hard to condemn the oppressed.

So far this morning I've read that rural Oklahomans are worried about Trump's tariff plans, are losing funding for public schools, and don't have adequate maternal healthcare accessibility. Good thing those folks are so worried about what bathrooms transgender people are using. #Oklahoma

If the number of nonprofits asking me for money is an indication of anything, it's that we're not okay. I get that it's Giving Tuesday but everything from the arts to healthcare to journalism to feeding the hungry to taking care of the homeless to supporting refugees

The thing that frustrates me more than anything about Democrats is that they're worse than MAGA about letting something go. Yes, he pardoned Hunter. Yes, MAGA are mad. No, we don't care. STOP TALKING ABOUT IT! We don't have to give them the attention they're begging for. I

That the media is more upset about Biden pardoning Hunter than Trump tearing down democracy is just so on brand for them these days. I hope Biden does a whole bunch more shit they can be mad about. Lets see some reports.

It's impossible to re-boycott the places I'm already boycotting. I don't do Walmart or most of these other places. Lowes is disappointing and I'm not sure there's a progressive alternative or small business that can meet those needs for me. It's not like we'll be shopping for much soon anyway.

We've ranked towards the bottom, if not at the bottom, for so long. And it's hard to keep caring when the people impacted the most keep voting for their own misery How do we get rural women and the men who (supposedly) love them to understand this is directly tied to the people they vote for?
