As officials grapple with funding problems and other issues, Oklahoma County Jail deaths are on the rise in 2025, with seven so far this year.

they do. not. care. those jails/prisons are run by good ol boy maga types who LOVE human suffering, especially people of color, but they kill plenty of whites too. they dont give a damn about anybody in there... cause if youre in there, you didnt have the money to bribe your way out.
i dont know what can be done about it. one hand washes the other. im convinced i live in the most corrupt state in the country
governor is currently rousing and arresting all the homeless in tulsa. guy sent the police (EDIT: correction: oklahoma highway patrol + ICE) out to raid homeless camps, throw away their belongings, and offering them a choice: rehab or jail. they didnt bother contacting any of the shelters in the area. they want to get these people on the books so they have prior arrests (+convictions/fines they cant pay) so they can keep them locked up. more people in jail = more money for the state. its sick
its checkmate. first the immigrants, now the homeless, whos next? probably trannies. then homos. then people of color (again). then poor whites prolly.
shyt everybody knows the famous poem already
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
