I think we all knew what happened today was coming, & if you didn't then you haven't been paying attention.

There are a number of things that led to the domestic terrorism that took place in our nation's capital today. 1/6

The things that encourage people to partake in these types of terrorism look like, but are not limited to, 70 members of a legislature sending a letter to the Arizona House Speaker to discredit their election results 2/6

It also looks like attorney general's signing on to a lawsuit against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, & Wisconsin challenging their election results. Some elected officials, at every chance they could, did everything in their power to discredit the 2020 election results 3/6

That sends a clear message to the people they represent & the people who align with their ideologies. That message is to do anything within their civilian power to also discredit the 2020 election..

That message leads us here to this dark day in American democracy. 4/6

All of this is on top of the dangerous rhetoric that has come from the highest office in the land. The office of the President of the United States of America and just gotten worse over the last 4 years. 5/6

I can only hope that going forward we'll get better from our elected officials & better for our fellow Oklahoman's and our nation as a whole. And I hope you'll join me in the work to make sure that we do.

Nothing About Us Without Us 💛💪🏿 6/6
