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.

We did not waste our time, but the more time we spend divided the more our country is being taken from ALL of us. Hopefully one day they see that, for everyone’s sake. This is what we mean when we say #NoKings.

They’re not converting anybody in the comments, and they know it, but it’s not their fault. They are being lied to by powerful people trying to divide us. The people they think were β€œAI” or β€œold photos” or β€œwasting their time” actually want the same basic things they do. They just can’t see it yet.

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.

Thousands join β€˜No Kings’ protest in OKC at City Hall Thousands rallied Saturday at OKC City Hall for the β€œNo Kings” protest, calling for democracy, accountability, and change at the highest levels of government.

The OKC Free Press estimates about 2000 rallied in Oklahoma City this morning--despite wet weather.

It was super tough to get a pic to show all my fellow No Kings folk, but just check out this crowd that showed up (during an OU game, which if you live in Norman, is a big deal!) at Andrews Park, y’all! 🚫 πŸ‘‘ πŸ’ͺ

Some scenes from the Oklahoma City protest. Despite the on/off again rain, thousands came out across the state to protest for #NOKINGS.

So…where does one apply to be a β€œpaid” protestor? Does it come with health insurance? What about PTO? Asking for a friend! 🧿🫦🧿

We forgot too quickly that Senator James Lankford sponsored a bipartisan border security bill last year that Donald Trump told them to reject.

Everything happening now is manufactured chaos.

TikTok Shop recommended this shirt β€œinspired by the Capitol events that challenges the status quo.” The text on the shirts says:

THEY SAY IMMIGRANTS
ARE THE POOBLEM.
BUT WE ALL SAW WRU
STOAMED THE CAPITOE.

He only cares about gaining the spotlight to grab power. This picture makes him look especially villain-y. #OklahomaBlueDot

BASH: The big difference here, as you know, is that this is a broadcast network that was threatened by a govt individual who has oversight over their regulation and potential for mergers

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Sure, but this is also a network that has not been friendly to this administration whatsoever

BASH: Trump is redefining free speech as speech that's only favorable to him. I can't imagine you're ok w/ that as somebody who swore an oath to the Constitution

MULLIN: He didn't say free speech. He said cheating & what he was referring to are elections

B: No. That's not what he was talking about

Mullin: "When 97% of the news stories are negative about him & 99% about Pete Hegseth are negative, it is cheating, bc you're putting out a narrative that isn't true...there's a thin line between free speech & when it crosses a line and causes violence. And when you start calling someone fascist..."

Lobbyists spent hundreds of thousands in Oklahoma's legislative session. Here's where the money went Here’s which lobbyists and interests disclosed spending the most during the session, and which Oklahoma lawmakers received the most attention.

Lobbyists spent $460,000+ this session! Mostly on steak dinners & receptions. Their wins? Tax cuts, budget cuts, and new courts just for corporations. Oklahoma families got scraps. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/p... #OklahomaBlueDot

Politicians in this state love to praise β€œhardworking Oklahomans” while voting against living wages and union rights. Labor Day is our reminder: workers don’t need praise, they need power.

β€˜Sneakflation’: How Trump’s tariffs are gradually raising costs for American consumers | CNN Business When tariffs are tacked on to many imported goods, someone’s got to foot the bill.

A reminder that Donald Trump and JD Vance tried to humiliate Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, but rolled out an actual red carpet for Putin.

Walters called Tuesday’s ruling a β€œhuge win” and claimed Christianity is β€œunder attack by the Left.” Plaintiffs argued the standards violate religious freedom and Oklahoma law. The court’s ruling did not elaborate on other aspects of the case. 🧡/3
