The Oklahoma GOP has updated their platform to include opposing funding increases for public schools.

The platform now stands against β€œany increased state funding” for β€œgovernment schools.”

It also calls to abolish the state income tax, abolish the minimum wage, and more.

β€œThey Actually Had a List”: ICE Arrests Workers Involved in Landmark Labor Rights Case β€œWe are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,” said a UFW official about an ICE raid in New York.

ICE recently conducted a raid of farm workers, seemingly focused on pro-union worker leaders.

On Friday in New York the federal agents stopped a bus and, armed with a list, appeared to single out those who have been doing union organizing for years.

Fast tracking a censorship bill is always troubling. TAKE IT DOWN is the wrong approach to helping people whose intimate images are shared without their consent.

Don't let it get twisted: TikTok is being banned because it gave normal Americans access to more unbiased news than ever before.

If data was truly the issues - then every major tech company would have been banned ages ago.

The Government, and lobbyists, are scared when we know more.
