#Trump has been forthright about his intention to bring about a #DeathPenalty renaissance, & now his efforts are coming to fruition. This yr has been a particularly lethal one for the #US’ #DeathRow prisoners. Together, #Alabama, #Arizona, #Florida, #Indiana, #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Missouri, #Oklahoma, #SouthCarolina, #Tennessee, & #Texas have executed a total of 40 people in the past 10 months by injection, nitrogen hypoxia, & firing squad, surpassing 2024’s total of 25—a significant spike…

Fiery speeches.

Emphasis on #LoveNotHate.

Repeated calls to #GetInvolved.

More group singing, now led by a woman who channeled Carol King & all the protests of the '60s.

Details on the 17 #Oklahoma grassroots organizations represented at the #NoKings rally today. Details on their dreams, intentions, hopes, ***actions***.

The #AmericanIndianMovement invited us all, indigenous or not, to join them in defending, rebuilding, preserving #OK's living heart.

Check out the Western sky tonight about 9:30 to see Mercury, Mars, and the Moon.

The bright star between Mercury and Mars that appears closer to Mars is Regulus, the heart of the Lion.

Y'ALL.

I just got home from the #NoKings protest in #OKC.

Early numbers reports and a statement from the rally podium say THIS WAS THE BIGGEST PROTEST IN #OKLAHOMA HISTORY.

It was gorgeous.

We marched for about 1.2 miles to the rallying point outside City Hall. This took about 30 min.
Spouse & I were with 5 friends (3 more joined us later). By the time we had been at the rallying point for 20 min, the marchers further back WERE STILL COMING.

Literally every flavor of human represented.
