Yet more evidence republicans hate America:

Libs of TikTok creator accused of inspiring school bomb threats named to Oklahoma library board

A far-right influencer who was accused of instigating bomb threats against a school library in Tulsa, Oklahoma, last year has been named an adviser to a state library committee, the head of the state Education Department announced Tuesday.

Chaya Raichik, who runs the incendiary Libs of TikTok social media accounts and is not an Oklahoma resident, was appointed to the Education Department’s Library Media Advisory Committee.

“Chaya is on the front lines showing the world exactly what the radical left is all about — lowering standards, porn in schools, and pushing woke indoctrination on our kids,” state Superintendent Ryan Walters said in a statement. “Because of her work, families across the country know just what is going on in schools around the country.”

Raichik’s Libs of TikTok accounts have more than 3 million combined followers on X and Instagram. Its content — which is often laced with bigoted rhetoric — generally singles out LGBTQ people, drag queens and their employers, and it criticizes them for promoting diversity, inclusion and equity efforts.

In addition to last year’s scare in Tulsa, posts by the account have preceded several bomb threats to schools, libraries and hospitals across the country in recent years.

I’ll go with my definition. Based on my experiences here, it is a much better fit.

I'd live in KC. I lived in Indianapolis for 3 years and it was a pretty nice place to live. But hell no to the rest of them. I'd pass on many of the northern plains states as well; Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North & South Dakota, etc... Omaha is hopefully the northernmost place I ever live moving forward. Fuck having even more snow and cold weather than this freaking place.

I mean, I guess that's a lie, there are great places in every state thay i could probably find to live except....Missouri.

Go wander around in Mark twain national forest. It's lovely. As long as you avoid the natives

North Dakota is not great.

South Dakota is awesome though, at least geographically.

Also, I love Wyoming. Not so much the eastern side, but the West and particularly northwest part of the state are phenomenal. It would be a dream to live around the Cody area. I'd probably live in Cheyenne too if it came to it. Don't love Casper and Sheridan, but not the worst places I've been.


Pretty sure everyone here knows my love for Montana. Id drop everything and head to Montana tomorrow if the family would join.. Large swaths of Idaho are fantastic too. I'd live there, I mean, I'm not all that far from actually living there.

I know there are pretty places there I just can't do Missouri. There are pretty places everywhere. It's why I didn't immediately discount Tenneesee, Arkansas, and Kentucky.

Personally, though, I prefer the big skies and big mountains, lack of people and sparseness of the west.

same.

Nevada is tough and barren, but has some amazing places.

I don't love the desert of Arizona but the northern part of Zona has some of the most amazing geography around (and record settings Elk). Utah might be the most unique state around with its crazy landscapes. New Mexico is desolate but beautiful and also has some really awesome areas.

I could spend several lifetimes and never fully, satisfactorily explore the west.

I love the deserts.
There is so much to take in when you slow down...and get the hell off of the highways.

Death Valley....my favorite.
Sonoran Desert...not far behind.
Anza-Borrego...yes!

Mojave Nat’l Preserve is one of my favorites, specifically the area around Kelso

Why Hawaii? Because it’s expensive, and somewhat unidimensional?

This being the PoliBored and all…….there’s one thing common to all the rest of the states………

I dont like hot and humid. I also don't like feeling like I can't get away and and island isn't ideal.

Hawaii has trade breezes and consistent light.

it's still hot, and an island. Also too many people, tourists and too damn expensive.

This video belongs in the "Conservative" Republican Fascists and Christo-Fascist", and the "These Aren't Serious People", (except they are), threads, too.

If the title of the video isn't bad enough, wait 'till you watch and hear the 3 minute video:

Pro tip: It's past time to wake up. We're in the midst of a slow-motion Christo-Fascist coup.)

A bill introduced into the TX legislature will replace school counselors with school chaplains.
