Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

A delayed $175,000 for 50 years? Remind me to never go to Oklahoma.
Zero reason to ever go to OK.
I'm sure the people on the reservations are decent. Impoverished, but decent.
We have very lax medical marijuana laws, a dispensary on every corner, and cheap weed.
We sure do have a lot of willfully stupid people, though.
It would be nice if you'd amend those lax medical marijuana laws to allow us Texas residents in on the deal.
Nope. You guys have been telling us how much better you are since 1909. You get your own weed. 🤣
Good farming land.
Not really, just decent ranching land mainly. There's a reason the US was willing to briefly give it away to the Native Americans.
A while back I had a cousin living in Oklahoma. He had some troubles and was hanging out with some not great people. An acquaintance's gf/wife ended up dead and the guy pointed his finger at my cousin. He was held in jail charged with murder, but all his hearings kept getting kicked down the road. After a year they released him and told him to GTFO of the state and never return.
Which, to me, screams that they found evidence he didnt do it, but didnt want to invest money in a trial to prove his innocence, or on finding the actual suspect.
I've lived there, and it sucked ass. I ran away from that shit State
