Quick Reminder #Oklahoma The #McGirt decision from #SCOTUS will be six this coming year. The perfect age for Justice John Roberts and his friends in The #GrandOldPedophiles to try and fuck it.

Chickasaw, Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Osage = Heard.
Comanche, UKB, Cheyenne & Arapaho = Silence.
This isn’t just a hearing—it’s a power map.
