Today, Oklahoma is set to execute Tremane Wood even though a state panel recommended his life is spared
Tremane Wood is currently on death row, despite his older brother admitting to killing victim Ronnie Wipf in 2002. Next week, he will have the chance to make his case for mercy. Oklahoma's attorney general is fighting to ensure his death anyway. https://t.co/7TE0gp61fv

Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, and a safer life exists. Let it happen.

We used to have government agencies track and report this. Instead, we’re replying on private industry to study and provide public data

More of us should be angry and riot in the streets. But we live under the grave threat of state-sanctioned violence.

But this is why we need Working Families Party. This is beyond insane. Not a goddamned thing but a promise to put a bill on the floor that won't even pass. BANANAS.

Earlier this week, I was informed I’ve been laid off by 247Sports. I just wanted to thank everyone who has interacted with my work over the past couple of years. It’s been a blast covering the Oklahoma Sooners and high school recruiting! If you know of any opportunities, my DMs

He’s cutting flights to hurt you. Not because it’s necessary. He enjoys inflicting pain on those he sees as less than him.

It’s illegal to use money raised for a general election campaign for transition expenses. Everything is a conspiracy if you never care to find out how anything works.
Zohran Mamdani raised $16.8 Million during his campaign for Mayor. Now immediately after his election win he is begging supporters for more money. What happened to all that money?
