Jess, this biggest name company in OK ( and there are not too many, other than oil companies! ) is Hobby Lobby. And that would be a GREAT place to do a boycott. They fancy themselves as a company with religious values; well, let's see if they would back that up. Or, would they condone bullying which leads to death - of a child. I'm in!
Well, I wasn't sure about everyone else, but I've never walked thru their doors, and never will. Another of the top 10 employers in the state is Univ of OK. Not sure how we could give them what for, but I'm sure you can think of something!!
Used Resistbot to send message re Supreme Court and sent emails to my Senators supporting SF3612. Thanks for your work in motivating me to take action!
I love your scripts and use them often. However, my Republican congressman has been so incredibly disappointing despite calling himself pro-Ukraine and a centrist that I recently called and told a senior staffer that I was no longer going to spend energy contacting his office, I was going to use that energy to work for his opponent.
Tammy is my Senator and I am proud of her always fighting for us all and especially women's health. I support her. I sent a thank you to her the other day.
"courts that are clearly compromised and broken beyond repair." We must all hope that they're not, or the entire Constitutional system is beyond repair. Whether we pursue Robert Hubbell's idea of expanding the Court to at least 13 Justices, or leave it at 9 and put in place enforceable ethics codes and term limits, it is every bit as important to have a functioning court/justice system as it is a working legislative branch. Without both, the Executive is a de facto dictator and we are left with the need to hope that we get decent people in the job. We already have an example of what happens when we don't.
Thanks ( I think) for the Mother Jones’ link. So surrogacy is “deplorable” (because it allows LGQBT people to form families) and “A child is always a gift and never the basis of a commercial contract.” Yet, they support adoption (US private adoption “contract” estimates 25-50k) of course, only for. non-LGQBT people. This pro-choice adoptee’s head is exploding.🤯
I have been sharing these links and encouraging younger peeps to start the conversation with their generation.
Believe them when they say they are after birth control. According to Heritage Foundation and DeSantis’ education advisor …birth control pills are evil and sex should only be for procreation. You.could.not.make.this.@#$& up !
Jess- will NC event be taped? I can’t make the 6th but would love to watch it later. Will donate either way but you generally have to sign up for it to get the taped email so I thought I would ask. Thanks for this and all you do!
Also:The six Oklahoma headquartered companies made the 500 in 2023 are ONEOK, Devon Energy, Williams, Chesapeake Energy, NGL Energy Partners and Continental Resources. All are in the Energy Sector and Continental Resources (#407) makes the list for the first time.
Most of the Companies with HQ in OK are energy related so not easily boycotted. However, Sonic, Love’s Travel Stops and American Fidelity Insurance Have HQ in OK City as well as Hobby Lobby. A lot of us have been boycotting Hobby Lobby for years because of their stance on refusing to allow health insurance to cover birth control for employees but adding more to our ranks would be great! Thanks for what you are doing!
Oh, yeah, I think most of us have been boycotting Hobby Lobby forever, right? But I will still consider writing something up for the other companies. Thank you!
You are a national treasure, Jess!
Thank you, Mary! Every one of us is!

Oh yeah. They're awful and I assume most of us already boycott them, right?

Haha good for you! Who is it?

A real coward.

She's incredible. Wish we had more like her.

Yeah, I regret using that turn of phrase, exactly, because they are repairable. And we WILL repair them. We have no choice.
Here is a start for large companies with a presence in Oklahoma. https://www.abetterlifeokc.com/index.php?submenu=_employers&src=employers&srctype=major_employers_map#:~:text=Other%20big%2Dname%20leading%20private,that%20maintain%20a%20large%20presence
Thank yoU!
Yes. Good. We still do have time till stop them by Roevember. Thank you for your motivational speeches. It really helps.
Of course! Thank you!

Donated to NC and signed up, because you asked. Chop, chop, chopping from Blue Minnesota.
You're the best! Thanks, Pete!
A-FCKING-MEN. We’re not giving one inch of this country away to these fascists.
Not one.
Thank you so much for your efforts in NC! ❤️
I’ll be picking up this fight again as soon as I get over covid.
Ooh feel better, hon!

Really hard to boycott, unfortunately.
