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.

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.

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.

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.

To frame this as rage against the healthcare system diminishes the truth of it. It's rage against all of the systems that are further enriching the wealthy while the rest of us suffer and stress and grind away just to stand still.

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?

It's going to be really hard to fight anything when we keep acting like the millionaires and billionaires are just like the rest of us and didn't step all over us to get where they are. Until we're allowed by our own party to get mad at them, nothing will change.

Republican men don't believe that sexual abuse exists because they don't believe women (or children) own the rights to their own bodies. It's what their dads, their preachers, their politicians, their coaches, and their media tells them.

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

And all I can think is that every one of these needs could be fulfilled if we'd stop letting avoid taxes and stop corporate welfare. America is needy because we choose to be I'm absolutely not saying don't donate, though. If you can, please help. God knows if we don't do it, nobody will.

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?

I live in Oklahoma City, and it's easy sometimes to forget that those people live just a few miles away. The contrast between urban Oklahoma and rural Oklahoma is stark sometimes. And rural Oklahoma is largely why we're in the shape we're in.
