No one should be surprised by the many illegal pardons the orange felon has been issuing for his fellow criminals, the career criminal traitor was always going to abuse that power to help those who are as immoral, corrupt and criminalistic as he is.

The way Parker laid this timeline out—it’s so clear what has been ramping up, even if some of these appeared to be isolated events at the time.
In January 2024, the state's then-Superintendent of Public Instruction, Ryan Walters, appointed Raichik, who has no connection to the state and does not live there, to the Oklahoma Department of Education's Library Media Advisory Committee - giving the person behind Libs of TikTok an official role in deciding what books Oklahoma students can read.
A month later a 16-year-old nonbinary. student named Nex Benedict died. Just one day after being beaten in a school bathroom at Owasso High School - the same district where, in 2022, a teacher "greatly admired" by Nex had resigned after being targeted by a Libs of TikTok post. According to Nex's mother, the bullying had started after Stitt signed the bathroom bill.
Nex's death was ultimately ruled a suicide.
The climate in which Nex lived - a climate shaped by the very people now celebrating Samantha Fulnecky as a "warrior of Christ"
- is not incidental to this story.

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

The 1923 Oregon legislature was colloquially known as the "Klan legislature" because the majority of members were either Klan members or sympathizers. One bill they passed required that history education be suitably patriotic, outlawing materials that spoke "slightingly" of the founders.
60
GENERAL LAWS OF OREGON, 1923 [Chaps. 39, 40
CHAPTER 39
AN ACT
[S. B. 57]
To define the principles to govern those who are charged with the selec-
tion of text-books for use in the public schoels.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
Section 1. It shall be the duty of every board, commission, committee or officer charged with the selection of text-books for use in the public schools to select and install text-books on American history and civil government which adequately stress the services rendered by the men who achieved our national independence, who established our form of constitutional government, and who preserved our federal union. No textbook shall be used in our schools which speaks slightingly of the founders of the republic, or of the men who preserved the union, or which belittles or undervalues their work.
Approved by the governor February 12, 1923.
Filed in the office of the secretary of state February 12, 1923.

They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a coup right now have all their money, business, power, & philosophy about society tied up in achieving unregulated control & forcing society to become irreversibly dependent on these technologies. It is the capitalists rebelling against the "free market" for rejecting its shit & taking over government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter.
