Hi! I'm Caleb. I love dogs, despise fascists, and I think public education & public service are what it costs if you want a "great" society. I'm happily taken, I smoke too many cigarettes, and I put up with zero shit from racists, woman-haters, or bigots. "Good trouble" is the most noble calling.

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did? It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

On every news story about the murdered lawmakers in MN, there is a plethora of comments blaming Tim Walz or the Clintons and asking how come nobody cared about Trump's "attempted assassination."

It's really creeping me out the way the fash seem so cocky they'll never be held accountable at the ballot box for egregious moments like Joni Ernst's smirking at people's concerns about early mortality due to funding cuts. An estimated 300,000 people have died so far as a result of USAID's crash.

The '08 financial collapse's equivalent of a war criminal and the beneficiary of a land empire built on the mass murder 'Killers Of The Flower Moon' indicts are having a little tiff. Maybe they can take Ryan Walters to the moon and have a knife fight about it. Trash everywhere you look here in OK.

Shiloh Hendrix made half a million dollars off of calling a kindergartener a racial slur. Just keeping this for later, when people say they voted the way they did because of bureaucracy or the economy.

The longer we don't stop them, the more people will add their blood to the river of it this nation floats upon. This is in El Salvador. Check it on Google Maps if you don't believe me. We are out of time.

Right out in the open, Ryan Walters and Kevin Stitt are going hard in the paint to whip up the zealots so they won't notice how badly the GOP has fucked EVERYTHING up here in Oklahoma. We have a snake infestation in our state capitol, and it seems to me it's getting to be about shovel time.

My 40 hours come from four 10-hour shifts (9p-7a, Friday-Monday). Tuesday mornings I've been making a habit of either taking my sweetheart or just myself to a nice breakfast. I'm really enjoying that. Today I went to a diner I've been going to my whole life, and now I'm winding down.

1/4 Progressives in Norman, Oklahoma's third largest city, have taken the mayor's chair & gained a seat on city council. Our incoming voting body is stacked 8-1 against conservatives. We now have a mandate of our own, and we will use it to demonstrate what real, community-based leadership can do. 👇

3/4 ...their hair out trying to understand why our extremely "business friendly" (read: top-down) economy has failed to draw new companies to the state, while outlawing abortion, allowing private schools to access public funds, and taxing the shit out rank & file workers for their bosses' pockets.👇

2/4 With a decades long majority & a 14-year supermajority, alongside an unbroken tenure at the Governor's desk since 2011, the OKGOP is in hot water. Come state election time, there will be nobody else for them to blame for the wreckage of every single state service that isn't armed. They pull...👇

People are cheering the defunding of the Consumer. Financial. Protection. Bureau. I hope so very much from the bottom of my heart that this is being documented. History will judge this nation harshly, and it should.
