“Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.” The Republican chair of the National Governors Association breaks with Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u...

Trump vs. US was the final straw imo. You cannot read that ruling and continue believing they have legitimacy. It is not only against the plain text of the constitution, it is anathema to the national ethos. It is offensively, insultingly un-American and they ceded legitimacy by committing that sin.

donald trump is a fascistic leader who has surrounded himself with people who are explicitely pro-fascistic that want to end democracy as we know it and punish anyone who dissents. pretending otherwise leads me to believe you agree with them doing this

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Seriously, y'all. Were it not for a lone lawyer literally banging on the airport doors, these kids would've been stolen. Were it not for Judge Sparkle taking immediate action at 3am on a holiday weekend, they'd have gotten away with it. It didn't take a hero to do the right thing. Just a person.

7. To both of their surprise, however, the pair says they have been met with overwhelming community support—that even conservative Oklahomans usually hostile towards LGBTQ rights donated to their fundraiser, citing concerns about freedom of speech.

NEW: Federal judge signs off on DOJ and Oklahoma's sham anti-immigrant lawsuit. Judge Ronald White did not even consider a brief arguing the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter before issuing an order striking down a decades-old Oklahoma law. Tonight, at Law Dork:

the line was crossed twice, once when the TikTok ban, a law passed by Congress and signed by the president, was simply ignored and everyone let him do it, and a second time when doge seized treasury and seized direct control of Congressional spending over Congress. other lines small by comparison

I just remembered: Half-Life. When you climb up the elevator shaft, theres a headcrab zombie waiting up there. I walked backwards away from it and fell down the elevator shaft.

We’re 7 months in, and “Pentagon plans military deployment in Chicago” is a headline in the Washington Post. And because it’s city number three, we’re already numbing to it. If you read this about any other democracy in the world, you’d conclude that it was well on the road to a dictatorship.

Sweeping changes are coming to the federal SNAP program, which is used by about 686,800 food insecure Oklahomans. According to the Oklahoma State Department of Health and USDA, more than 15% of Oklahoma households are food insecure, the fifth-highest rate in the nation. nondoc.com/2025/08/20/a...

same guy lmao

We have won on hard mode before. We can do it again.

we are literally being ruled right now by people who are digging a hole underneath themselves and everyone else in the fervent belief that once there's no more ground to hold them back they'll finally be able to fly

happy birthday to Deirdre Skye, leader of Gaia's Stepdaughters, canonically born today, May 28, 2025.

Happy Hitler Shoots Himself In The Head day to all who celebrate. The 80th anniversary. May his ignominious end, with his body doused in petrol and burned by his last remaining loyalists, be a model for all tyrants.

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

every day I log on and people try their best to get me to lose my faith in humanity. but I am resilient and have a bad memory

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

This is at 7:25 where he says it multiple times. It's here. The concentration camp plans are out in the open.

90 percent. They sent innocent people to a gulag so Trump could look like a tough guy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Failure is a necessary part of success, something known to all True Gamers

it's important that today we put our differences aside to come together and say eat shit Strom Thurmond you desiccated corpse

conservative education policy in a nutshell: starve the system to get middle class parents to put their kids in private schools and then teach junk and slop to everyone left behind

The Trump administration has "designated for disposal" the Oklahoma City Federal Building. This building replaced the one destroyed by a far-right, anti-government extremist Timothy McVeigh in 1995. 🧵

just gonna be the thousandth person to remind you all that segregationists start the open bigotry with people they feel they can target most easily but do not end there

This very extremely bad. Be prepared.

The purpose of negative emotions is not to cause misery. It’s to prevent mistakes. Outrage is a signal to speak up. Anxiety is a prompt to prepare. Guilt is a reminder to repair. Disappointment is a cue to persist. Pain reveals principles. Where we hurt is a clue to what we value.

We're about to witness the final stress test of the foundations of American democracy. There has certainly never been an executive branch that seems as willing to assert compete dictatorial control of the government as the Trump administration is at this moment. We'll soon see if it happens.

Putting this here for my fellow Android users.

When the president, on every issue, says that he will decide what he is allowed to do under the Constitution and nobody else, every appointee and member of his party obeys because they are either corrupt or afraid of him, and SCOTUS has given him immunity, you have an autocracy.

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

scoop: will oklahoma be the first state to ban renewable energy? its becoming increasingly likely. as investments from the inflation reduction act flow into red states, we're seeing backlash. republicans are disliking renewables *more* than before. cc @heatmap.news heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...

A lot of shameful things have happened in American politics in my lifetime but the path from January 6 2021 to Trump's November 2024 victory is probably the worst
