This bill in OK is exactly what Project 2025 threatened: to make all pornography illegal, and criminalize the people who make it, using a WILDLY broad definition of pornography, which would include any book with sex in it. We're talking jail time for romance authors. oksenate.gov/press-releas...

It's revolution, roots, rage for your family. If you ever wanted it: author.katebrauning.com/novels
