Lawmakers aim to circumvent Oklahoma voters by putting state questions on low turnout election  • Oklahoma Voice
Oklahoma lawmakers are quietly trying to buck tradition and manipulate election outcomes in hopes that a small, but energized Republican voting bloc will revisit issues voters have already decided.

Pausing SNAP benefits in November won’t just hurt Oklahomans in need. It’ll hit local grocers and farmers markets that depend on that spending, but they don’t want us to talk about that.

Our Threads account is getting bombarded with replies from people denying yesterday’s protests (mostly by accounts with no followers, no non-reply posts and no profile picture). Some of them are likely to be bots, but some are not. They don’t wanna hear it, but we’re trying to reach them too.

If you’re looking for common ground with Republicans, ask one if they think the government should release the unredacted Epstein papers. They’ll say yes. No, they’ll say hell yes. They’ll say the people deserve to know who enabled child trafficking at the highest levels of power. Start there.

A textured image designed to resemble aged paper displays a quote about patriotism attributed to Mark Twain. The background subtly incorporates elements of the American flag with faded red and white stripes running horizontally and a dark blue canton in the upper left corner featuring thirteen five-pointed white stars.
The central text reads:
"PATRIOTISM IS
SUPPORTING
YOUR COUNTRY
ALL THE TIME,
AND YOUR GOVERNMENT
WHEN IT DESERVES IT."
The words "ALL THE TIME," and "WHEN IT DESERVES IT." are highlighted in red. Below the quote, in a smaller, white font, it says "MARK TWAIN". The overall style evokes a vintage or historical poster.
