Real cities have real newspapers. Real newspapers employ thoughtful, deeply informed, dedicated writers to cover the arts. James Watts is one of those writers, and he deserves better.

Excited to host my very first legislative interim study today! It’s on something I’m really passionate about, which is strengthening relationships with our Tribal nations!

The historical weight of that blame is staggering. Across centuries & cultures, women have been held responsible for everything from breech birth, miscarriage, birth defects, & even the gender of their child. Tylenol is just a new means to shame women.

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

While LCRW gives live updates from the Kirk memorial, I’ll be giving updates from outside. Follow along for both (if you care lol).

This sums up the energy outside — lots of trash, lots of bad merch, medical emergencies everywhere you look. Also content warning because the bigots are out in force.

Stitt has shaken a hornet's nest, and now all Tulsans are less safe b/c of his disingenuous, cruel, and unintelligent approach to a very complex issue. He has created chaos in our city, and we are all less safe because of him. WTG Kev. You keep killing it as the state’s chief executive. 🙄 5/5

That means ppl who've been in crisis for a prolonged time have lost any clothing, personal items, documents, and stability they had, as fragile as it was, and have nowhere to go because our shelters are full. If Stitt had asked some basic questions before deploying OHP, perhaps he’d know that. 4/
