Merry Christmas from Norman Oklahoma. Last night my youngest sister and I enjoyed the laser light show projected against the Bizzell Library.

Merry Christmas!

The Trump administration has monetized anti-immigration sentiment. Got taxpayers to cover the cost of bounties and bonuses to ICE workers, and shifted money to owners of “for profit prisons” He’s really good at getting tax dollars into the wallets of his buddies.

ATTENTION CHRISTMAS COOKS AND HELPERS: It's time to begin thawing your Turkey, Ham, or etc. While you're at it, take inventory of your ingredients. Do you have everything and enough of them? Do you have a firm people count?

I understand the situation we are in, does Stephanie Bice?

We celebrated at the First Americans Museum in OKC.

Today in Norman Oklahoma an estate sale advertised guns for sale along with the house and car and household items and tools and machinery. It took until 12 noon to auction off all the guns.

This is promising. If Labor becomes a bi-partisan issue, we could force capitalism to work for workers.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn't supposed to be released. He was released. Indiana was supposed to gerrymander. It didn't. Maybe ordinary people fighting, and not waiting for some savior, is the way to go? As that community organizer said, "WE are the ones we've been waiting for."

In June of this year, DHS Spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin forcefully proclaimed on social media that Kilmar Abrego Garcia “will never go free on American soil” Today he was released by a federal judge He spent this evening with his family In Maryland

Honduras’s former President Juan Orlando Hernández walked free from a federal prison in West Virginia Monday, after he was granted a pardon by President Trump. He’d been serving a 45-year jail term in the U.S. for cocaine trafficking.

@jvl.bsky.social and @willsommer.bsky.social give their take on the latest culture-war absurdity: a 650-word psych class reaction paper at the University of Oklahoma that somehow escalated all the way to the governor’s office and right-wing media ecosystem.

My column from Monday. Some lessons for our time from epic poetry: Monsters are inevitable; heroes are not. There are boundaries not even the most ruthless can cross. And, as the Irish bard Antaine Raiftearai said, in the times of struggle stand the righteous.

Amid ‘instability and fear’ in Trump’s economy, Americans are cutting holiday spending www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Bringing Native dances to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Native Pride Productions will take the stage at one of the largest parades in America on Thanksgiving morning featuring nine dancers from different tribes from the U.S. and Canada ictnews.org/news/bringin...

My prayers are with the National Guard members injured in today’s senseless shooting. Grateful for the officers and first responders who moved quickly. There is no place for this kind of violence in our country.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Seems like most (esp. "journalists") criticizing Fani Willis for using RICO or getting disqualified are glossing over the facts that she elicited several guilty pleas from defendants and was replaced by a MAGA prosecutor who is the one requesting the dismissal. Are journalists really this ignorant?

Short answer? No. They don’t. wapo.st/3XILGiC

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: President Donald Trump, Who Pardoned Convicted Seditious Conspirators After January 6, Calls for a Number of Military-Veteran Democratic Members of the House and Senate to Be Executed Simply for Reminding U.S. Soldiers That They Can Refuse Illegal Orders

“You can refuse illegal orders. You MUST refuse illegal orders. We need you to stand up for our laws, our constitution.” DON’T GIVE UP!!!!! Repost, like, whatever!!!!

Here’s a NYT article about J6 and Sheriff West of Canadian County Oklahoma Who was the boss of the sheriff’s Deputy who molested boys and prisoners. www.nytimes.com/2021/02/16/u...

Here are the statements from 2021 from Sheriff West’s J6 activities. kfor.com/news/local/n...

I’m Pretty sure that Sheriff West was involved in some pretty inflammatory statements while running for election.

Hope everyone enjoys their nice White House dinner honoring the Saudi crown prince… The same regime the CIA says ordered the murder of a U.S.-based journalist and that 9/11 families say helped bankroll the attackers. Bon appétit, we guess.

ABC Mary Bruce deserves a Pulitzer Prize for asking the Saudi Prince this question:

US Citizen Violently Detained, Window Smashed During Morning Stop in Charlotte, NC

The more President Trump rats out Powerful relationships with J Epstein, it proves how much Donald Trump knew and failed to report to law enforcement to stop it. Instead it seems as though Donald Trump took note of the bad behavior and used the info to protect his power

Accountability is Bi-Partisan.

Social Security gets billions in free money each year from undocumented immigrants. They paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes in 2022 but cannot collect benefits. The billions they pour into the program partly pay for social security for Americans. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/13/b...

Too few people are talking about the fact that for eight years (2011-2019), while Jeffrey Epstein was raping young girls and trafficking them to hundreds of other rapists from his home base in Palm Beach, Florida, the Florida district attorney was Pam Bondi. Connect the dots.

I'll make it easy, JasmineForOk.com and JasmineForOk on social media.

Also, did y’all notice Oklahoma has two democrats running against Senator MWM? One is a woman / nurse wife of a military man, the other is a champion fighter or some sort. Look ‘em up.

Did y’all notice that US Senators protected the 60 vote rule with the deal they made? After Trump called for the nuclear option and blamed Republicans for shutting down the government, the US Senate agreed to keep the 60 vote rule. This shows how important the 60 vote rule is to US Senators.
