I've had to make quite a few awkward phone calls as a reporter but one for this REALLY awkward. Imagine the 2-min. spiel as I had to explain to McAlester superintendent who I am, why I'm calling and oh btw did y'all ever have a meeting about cat litter? huffpost.com/entry/oklahoma…

The sign wars have begun. Stay vigilant!

One has to ask, with all the hysteria about women's sports and trans health care, how they plan to enforce this stuff. Gender oaths are creepy enough but how do you really know!?

This would have been a great investigative story our local media could have run, instead of investigating fake helicopter ads! Because which one do you think directly impacts more lives? Stitt's bogus helicopter or the war on trans youth by statewide elected pols and their PACs?

This is the uneven playing field in American media. Fox News hosts say the most vicious things about Democrats, but whenever anyone fights back against Republicans, like @tiffanydcross, Phil Donahue, Ed Schultz or me, we're immediately taken off the air by mainstream media.

I am once again asking journalists to stop calling it "verification" when it explicitly does not provide verification.

Was The Daily Beast's fact checking department fired?

so we know a lot of y'all are busy dunking on [redacted] BUT WE ARE HERE TO VERIFY (free) ONE OF NORTH AMERICA’S LARGEST AND RAREST BIRDS IS MIGRATING THROUGH THE CENTRAL FLYWAY AND HAS LANDED IN OKLAHOMA.

Every vote counts, people.

Sean Patrick Maloney blames Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for not helping to keep the House. First of all, that was literally YOUR job as head of DCCC. Second, you literally tried to steal another Democrat's seat (and failed). Corporate Democrats love to blame progressives for their own failures!

But wait what about those three inches of highway we were going to name after Lincoln Riley? For real though this is some weird, performative stuff. And antithetical to the idea of representing ALL Oklahomans, since some don’t share his religious views, & still share this land.

Im sorry why am I seeing right wing politicians, one after another, in my timeline? I do not follow them. I do not want to see their tweets. WTF is this platform doing besides self destructing and dying right now?

So I log into #twitter for the first time since #Elon officially took over to see if the #Starlink shop is down, and this is what I'm greeted with? #mastodon and #lemmy have been an absolute delight.
