I need you to keep in mind that ANY bill that bans access to best practice medical care for trans people is unspeakably cruel. EVERY proposal is unconscionable. The arbitrary ages chosen to limit care to especially vulnerable young trans people don't make any bill less cruel.

@tylertalley22 If only he had some choice actions to lend credibility to those words.

Sure @AmericanAir didn't handle carry on baggage on a full flight leading us to miss the window before storms set in and leaving me stuck in Chicago overnight. But they graciously gave me a $12 meal voucher that can be used in the airport for my troubles.

We identified at least 114 injection wells in communities across Oklahoma that are located within a half-mile of a public water supply well. More than 300,000 Oklahomans live in communities that rely on these water wells, according to our analysis.

1/ When his 7-year-old daughter ran to report a flooded bathroom, Mitch Meredith assumed a burst pipe, maybe a backed-up toilet.

Then he saw the foul-smelling black fluid covering the floor… 🧵

Gobsmacking statistic in this story: “While city pools and splash pads consume almost 2 million gallons of water over the course of a summer, a single Exxon plastics plant consumes 13 million gallons per day.”

Century Aluminum wants to build a new smelter in Oklahoma.

In other states:
• Residents reported headaches, nosebleeds
• Regulators cited pollution violations
• The company paid to settle claims
Now Inola residents are raising concerns.

The dirty little secret about these broad, sweeping claims by police of "law enforcement exemptions" from #Oklahoma's public records laws is that there's actually nothing in the law that prohibits them releasing most records. They just don't want to, and feel they don't have to.

After Brian Bonner died from a treatable illness in Tulsa’s city jail, records reveal a pattern of preventable deaths and ignored warnings.

Round 2 of being threatened to be removed if I wouldn't stand while also being told I must sit in the back closet to one of the sergeants. What a joy to spend my days in the people's house.

In fun new things at the Capitol, today Sargeants at Arms in the House told me I must stand during the invocation and pledge or I would be removed.

Oklahoma is racing to become a data center hub.

But there’s a question looming over every development:
What about the water?

Our investigation found massive server facilities already using huge volumes — with more projects on the way.

Posts like this are a painful but useful case study in what we disability scholars call “carceral sanism” which is a kind of maximalist fusion of “mental health stigma” with punitive social logics. It frames visible crisis as a breach of public order, not evidence of abandonment

[adam mahoney (he/him) @AdamLMahoney]

NEW: Developers are using NDAs to keep data centers hidden while systematically choosing communities — often majority-Black rural counties — w/ less organized political and economic power

The fact that the most rabid fascists are totally willing to tout body cameras on DHS officers as a reform should, at the very least, make you very skeptical of body cameras. They're not some progressive reform. They're used for surveillance, copaganda, & increasing budgets.

Has anyone already done this Devon update meme? Or is this the kind of brilliance (absurdity) limited to waking up in the middle of the night?

[Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management (OEM) @okem]

OEM is asking residents and business owners who have been affected by the winter storm to report online at https://t.co/F5Yqbf7aKq. Reporting helps emergency managers better understand the impacts to Oklahoma communities and can help connect residents to state or local resources.
