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.

Six days in and it's completely apparent that we're not going to survive this.
The United States of America is dead. Republicans are selling her organs and pissing on her corpse.

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.

Ran out of peanuts, hotdogs, and eggs. So when the crows showed up this morning, I took out crackers and a cup of Rikki's dog food.

Apparently crows love dog food.

Got a flier for a City Council candidate. Go to look her up. Cover photo is a cross on a Bible against an American flag background.

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.

Millions of Americans who voted for Trump believe they celebrated the birth of Christ unironically yesterday. The rest of us know better.

New Oklahoma Billboard idea
"You have to VOTE better to DO better" along with one of our horrible statistics.
In the rural areas where they need to know it the most.

Just wait until President Musk decides that Starlink is the only internet service Americans can have.

Don't think he will? I promise he'll try.

This government shutdown isn't just on Trump and Musk.

It's on the millions of people who voted republican in the last election. This is exactly the chaos they wanted.

We had good options. They didn't want that. They wanted the shitshow.

Make them own it.

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.

I was outside giving the crows their scrambled eggs and hotdog breakfast, carrying on a whole conversation with them. I didn't realize the neighbor was outside.

He probably thinks I'm nuts.

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.
