Tuesday afternoon, the #okleg JCAB committees are set to hear 4 bills, one to give ODVA $10.9 million for finishing the Sallisaw #Veterans Home.

The other 3 involve at least one major economic development / business incentive deal, which may be the Enel solar panel plant. (1/?)
HB 2888 would appropriate $38.6 million "for upgrades to water and wastewater systems, located in Northeast Oklahoma along an inland waterway that supplies water and wastewater to major supply chain locations."

SB 1779 would put $180 million in a new "Perform Fund." (2/?)
Finally, SB 1777 would create the "Perform Act," which could let an entity investing at least $1 billion qualify for 5 "investment rebate payments" occurring at new-job benchmarks between 100 jobs and 1,400 jobs.

Here's the bill/act: webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2023-24…

The Marine who killed a Black man on the NYC subway was a white man, 24 yrs of age, from Queens, NY.

It’s been days, but he is still not named publicly, still no info about his background, affiliations, history.

Why does this matter?

A thread:
6 yrs ago, a houseless NYer & Black man, Timothy Caughman was stabbed to death by a vigilante supremacist Army veteran who drove to NYC from MD specifically to carry out terroristic hate crimes vs BM.

It was as important then, as it is now, for mil veterans to rise against hate. ImageImageImage
Something that went widely overlooked back then was how this homicidal, supremacist veteran was reported to have been harboring feelings of racial hatred/violence for at least 10 yrs.

Which makes you wonder about his experience & conduct when he deployed to AFG in 2011, armed. ImageImage

SHAME 👎on those who hv released a list to MALIGN the #veterans without giving out name of the original creators. 🔴Interesting bit: those with a personal life marred with controversies hv bn given a CLEAN CHIT. The descriptions is a RANT by a jealous man ! 👎 IGNORE & move on‼️
#ADGPI must investigate who created the list. I hope they do!
To keep the list neutral, those with left-leaning background wr mocked at, as expected by the audience. However the REAL TARGET of the list are those veterans who are doing well and are good influencers. How difficult is this to spot❓❓❓

Clinicien : Le #covidlong grave "devrait être considéré comme un #handicap".
Nous avons vu des personnes qui ont dû abandonner leur carrière à la suite d'une infection qui était à l'origine relativement bénigne... elle devrait être considérée comme un handicap à long terme.

Today, @HouseForeign & @HouseForeignGOP's "During and After the Fall of Kabul" hearing will focus on our withdrawal from #Afghanistan.

Veterans know that we have a long way to go to ensure the U.S. keeps our promise & protects our #Afghan allies.

Follow along with us here ⤵️🧵
Background: After 20 years in #Afghanistan, the U.S. ended our military presence in August 2021. The Taliban quickly took over the country & rapidly eroded gains made by the Western-backed #Afghan government in the past twenty years. 82,000 #Afghans were evacuated into the U.S.
Today, we’ll hear from veterans @PeterLucier from @teamamrelief, @FQhoang from @AlliedAirlift21, Aidan Gunderson, Sgt Tyler Vargas-Andrews, and @RooftopLeader from @TForcePineapple, as well as immigration expert @cmackler from @immigrantarc.

NEW: “Task Force Butler” Veterans Share Skills to Track Far-Right Groups unicornriot.ninja/2023/task-forc… Patriot Front masked fascists circled in a crowd with pixela
Unicorn Riot chatted with Kristofer Goldsmith, the founder of a nonprofit called the “Task Force Butler Institute” which is recruiting U.S. military veterans to monitor fascists and far-right hardliner movements around the country.
.@KrisGoldsmith85 & the group worked on tracking #PatriotFront neo-nazis on the ground at the January 21, 2022 March for Life in DC; by coincidence, Unicorn Riot released more than 400 gigabytes of leaked Patriot Front material during the same march. unicornriot.ninja/2022/patriot-f…

This is Sheriff Paul Penzone of .@mcsoaz in .@maricopacounty

Apparently is is a Democrat, and has surrounded the tabulator center, and removing people who have questions.

I think the .@NationalGuard gonna have to move in.

They got the evidence now...

🧵
The head law man in .@maricopacounty also put security around ballot boxes when people were watching for ballot mules.

It appears he is protecting the cheaters.

The .@NationalGuard had a cyber team monitoring the private logs and found proof of connectivity to internet...
They had to shut down the machines so that the .@NationalGuard could not collect the communication between the the voting machines.

Immediately the propaganda wing started to do work.

.@Google is complicit and is helping to steal the elections too.

Will justice be served?...

I have been hard at work on a project focused on Black women WWII #Veterans so as #VeteransDay approaches I wanted to share some of what I’ve learned in recent years that these books helped with. ImageImageImage
More than one million Black women and men served in every branch of the armed forces during WWII. They were seeking victory over fascism abroad & victory over racism at home - the Double V. Spoiler alert: It didn’t really work out.
But part of what these resources illuminate is what a powerful role institutions like the Black press & leaders in the Black Cabinet like Mary McLeod Bethune had advocating for them to serve in branches that were not yet integrated in the 1940s.

Hi all!
It's a 10 minute warning on the start of #Democrat Congressional candidate in #PA01, @ashley_ehasz's #townhall on #ReproductiveFreedom and the role of Congress.

You can watch here:


We'll be live tweeting the whole thing!
If you attended the @ashley_ehasz #PA01 #townhall in person, you'd have seen this (#Antichoice #GOP extremist Brian Fitzpatrick) cardboard guy out front.

That's as close as any version of Fitz would get to a town hall. He sprints away from unscripted constituent contact!
In case you want a run down of the legislative goods on #GOP #Antichoice extremist Brian Fitzpatrick of #PA01, here's the rundown...

The TL;DR is that Brian Fitzpatrick has ALWAYS voted AGAINST #AbortionRights.
Always.

He's no moderate, don't drink the Kool-aid on that!

A self-titled group of “patriots” launched an effort to crank call ⁦@DeptVetAffairs⁩ Veterans Crisis Line & urged supporters to clog the line with calls complaining #veterans arrested for the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot are being mistreated in custody. taskandpurpose.com/news/veterans-…
On Monday, the group held a live-streamed vigil outside the VA’s National Capital Regional Office in Washington, D.C. A man who identified himself as “Justin Johnson” urged 1776 Restoration Movement supporters to they could help the cause by calling the #veterans crisis line.
“Justin Johnson” said: “So, you dial 988 – they made it easier than ever to call. So, you dial 988 & then you press 1.” He put his phone up to the camera to show people the number to call & said: “So, let them know that there is inhumane treatment going on at the D.C. jail.”

Hey, @BillCassidy you were on @ThisWeekABC claiming the "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022" will raise taxes on those making less than $200,000 and referred to the Joint Committee on Taxation for this claim. Can you provide where @JCTgov stated this? I can't find it. /1
According to the Editors at Bloomberg @opinion

"this is a sober attempt at fiscal responsibility"

"this compromise would be a big win...for the US Taxpayer. As America's loquacious president once said in another context, it's a big effing deal." /2
