Our state is captured by the oil and gas industry.

The FBI was literally invented because the bombings/murder of Osage Indians to get oil rights was being covered up by state politicians and police.

The OERB funds a ton of science education, and they do not want you taking about climate change. They are required by the state to contribute to education, so they do this buy running fancy workshops where they give supplies to educators (like, I got thousands in dollars worth of chemistry equipment - this is a big deal when my supply closet had baking soda that would have been expired when my dad was in high school…) They teach you there that fracking doesn’t cause earthquakes, that the warming climate can be explained by Milkanovitch cycles, etc etc.

Oklahomans aren’t given the education the need to not fall for this shit, and it’s on purpose. I would not be surprised if the oil/gas industry was involved in spreading the weather weapons conspiracy. Oklahoma has always been a playground for wealthy oilmen.

Oklahoman’s GOP platform has literal conspiracy theory shit in it.

Any nutter with an “R” next to their name can win whatever position they want. It’s straight ticket Republican, no matter what.

Everyone hated Mary Fallon, but they still voted for Kevin Stitt.

Country girls make do…

Are you ready? 💦

The infanticide was historically accurate - although probably at a scale less than the movie implies. But it is in sources.

But yeah - the way that the film portrays the treatment of disabled people is especially gross. Pay attention to who is in the court of Xerxes - the acceptance of disabled bodies is presented as akin to the sort of “decadence” of these evil Persians. (If a necromancer brought Edward Said back to life to watch 300, it would probably kill him again.)

The movie is basically a Triumph of the Will for Spartans and torture for anyone who’s actually researched Greek history (Leonidus calling the Athenians “boy lovers” is teeth gritting, part of a Spartan education was getting fucked by older men…)

Did anyone walk away from that movie thinking “this is an unreliable narrator story and we shouldn’t take the fash-y elements at face value” or was it “damn the Spartans were bad ass”?

Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They’re still married.

Republican Mike Moon

And John Rose met his wife judging a 4H contest.

(Fun fact: you can’t file for divorce as a minor)

Also as a mandatory reporter in the state of Oklahoma… hahhahahahahahah. I just wrote an affidavit about how seriously CPS takes shit.

Benny (“having a wet pussy is a sign of an infection, according to my doctor wife”) is just jealous of anyone who can pull off an acting career.

On the Synder track, 300 is just a really uncomfortable movie. It’s a propaganda movie for a hell-state.

There was a “code blue” in Oklahoma and Texas today because someone shot a cop at a detention facility. People are doing shit, the media isn’t covering it.

He harassed another kid at high school enough to the point the police were involved. Some sort of investigation involved “injury to a child.”

Ugh, it looks like they intimidated the girls and harassed them for years afterwards.

“Jeffrey raped me and then his friend came in afterward to mock the entire scenario,” Robson recounted as she cleared her throat and breathed through the moment. “They decided to follow me for years to my job at Olive Garden to my gym at LA Fitness in Wellington. They would track me and harass me. It was part of the Epstein intimidation.”

But I also wonder if there are bodies on that island.

Have any of the victims ever come forward?

That’s an odd piece of this puzzle - where did those children end up? Dead? Threatened into silence (like the girl who had a lawsuit against Trump that was dropped around his first election?)

Have you heard of 996? It’s shorthand for a common work schedule in China: 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week

So a typical American teacher’s schedule?

They are still getting followed.

His shit about trans women in women’s sports got Lia Thomas’s records stripped from her, and I doubt any school is going to allow trans women to play anything in the future.

He has a website called Angry Gay Grandpa. He’d like to be identified as such, it’s his brand.

Yes, Veterans on Patrol took credit for the attack, and said they planned to attack others.

There are a few. One down the block from me collaborates with the LGBT youth shelter and has progress flags.

Methodists tend to be nice - the couple of times I got to go to a support group for LGBT teens was at a Methodist church, and this was almost twenty years ago. Unitarian Universalists are basically atheists, pagans and hippies that like the structure of meeting together on Sundays. Quakers have always been very politically active, mostly on the correct side of things.

The Southern Baptist Convention has basically been running our politics for decades. Literally founded to support slavery, created the “pro life”/forced birth movement from whole cloth, and fought integration and civil rights tooth and nail.

Any tips for properly hopping a fence? I may want to use that information for good.
