If you ❤️ our public schools, teachers, play as learning, all things #oklaed & #okwx, OU sports, the OKC Thunder, & just general common sense, but also 😡 Ryan Walters, high-stakes standardized tests, gaslighting, & right-wing fear mongering, I’m your huckleberry of a follow. 🤠

When I said the “One Big Beautiful Bill” would hurt rural Oklahoma most, I wasn’t blowing smoke. Just look at this map…SoonerCare ✂️ would hit the darkest (most rural) counties hardest + GOP timed the SoonerCare ✂️ for 2027 to dodge accountability. It’ll be on them, y’all.

Yep. As a former teacher, can confirm these things would recruit & retain folks at a pretty high level.

Y’all just know Supt. Walters dreams about this! lol

Part of being an elected official is listening to folks, something many electeds ignore in favor of partisan politics. So…I wanna hear from y’all! . Q: If you were state super, what are some things you’d do to help public education thrive in Oklahoma? . I’m all ears! 👂

I’ve known Jena (sounds like “Gina”) since shortly after she won 2020 OK Teacher of the Year. She’s fought hard for public ed & against the 🤡 that is Ryan Walters. She’ll rep everyone in CD5, unlike Bice, who reps only Trump.👎. Learn more & get involved:

I’m a proud Democrat; the party of real freedom, real law & order, and real states’ rights! 👀 ⬇️

The Red Pen of Truth doesn’t take on Trump often bc there isn’t enough red ink in the 🌎 to correct the untruths, but this helps reveal the simple fact that if this “all-powerful” admin can’t deliver the truth, it’s either a cover-up or a ruse. Either way, truth must prevail!

Happiest birthday wishes to this globe-trotting hottie!! My love for @Robin_Anne80 is COLOSSAL! ❤️

Fellow Christians….I need to hear from y’all on this! .Because this Christian 👋 finds all of this reprehensible and it hurts my heart. We’re all human, after all! 🌎🌍🌏. 🧵4/4.

We shouldn’t paint all undocumented immigrants with such a broad brush, breaking up families, and causing untold suffering & trauma to children, just to keep up with some arbitrary & hateful quota from an equally arbitrary & hateful administration. 🧵3/4.

There are criminal & law-abiding undocumented immigrants already living in 🇺🇸 just like there are criminal & law-abiding 🇺🇸 citizens. If we’re deporting people back to their original countries, it should be folks who’ve been tried & convicted of crimes. Period. 🧵2/4.

Undocumented immigrants…let’s have it out. First, I’m all for strengthening the security of our borders and ports of entry. I’m also all for overhauling our immigration system so it doesn’t take years for an asylum-seeker to legally enter our melting pot of a country. 🧵 1/4

Heads up! 🚨 . Message from the Oklahoma Legislative Latino Caucus: . TL;DR? . 🧊 warning for tomorrow and the next few days. 👀 ⬇️

A very salty Red Pen of Truth reveals the truth hidden within Ryan’s posts, and I for one appreciate it! Also, cheering on the demise of the Department of Education as the guy elected to run Oklahoma’s Department of Education? What an asshat!

The Yellow Highlighter of Awareness & I agree w/ former state Rep & all-around good guy Mark McBride on all of this. Walters is a menace & if he runs for Gov, don’t think the crew that brought him to OK politics doesn’t have an heir apparent to run for state super. Watching! 👀

I agree with Obama: Democrats need to toughen up. To me that means remembering who we are…the party of working folks, marginalized communities, livable wages, healthcare, & now, local control, as we fight against federal overreach. No more navel-gazing. Let’s get to work. 💪

Raise your hand if you saw Obama’s quote about Dems needing to toughen up (we do!), and went to immediately Google up “navel-gazing.” 🙋‍♂️

Link to the article, and Norman isn’t alone. The actions of the Trump administration are hitting other states, mostly red ones that are very reliant on federal aid:

But thanks to Trump-era FEMA cuts, those plans have been stopped. 😡 And don’t forget…Trump said he wanted to eliminate FEMA (until Texas floods made him backpedal). In severe-weather prone states like Oklahoma, that should raise every red flag, & I’m waving them! .🚩🚩🚩. 🧵2/2.

Born & raised Normanite here 👋 & I know HD 46 is no stranger to flooding. We’ve got 10 Mile Flat, Brookhaven, Merkle, Imhoff, & Bishop Creeks plus the Canadian & Little Rivers all of which can rise fast during a ⛈️ . An automated Flood Warning system just makes sense! . 🧵1/2
