Pausing SNAP benefits in November won’t just hurt Oklahomans in need. It’ll hit local grocers and farmers markets that depend on that spending, but they don’t want us to talk about that.

Is Rep. Kevin Hern searching for a congressional off-ramp? 🤔 tulsaflyer.org/2025/10/18/n...

Our Threads account is getting bombarded with replies from people denying yesterday’s protests (mostly by accounts with no followers, no non-reply posts and no profile picture). Some of them are likely to be bots, but some are not. They don’t wanna hear it, but we’re trying to reach them too.

The OKC Free Press estimates about 2000 rallied in Oklahoma City this morning--despite wet weather. freepressokc.com/thousands-jo...

It was super tough to get a pic to show all my fellow No Kings folk, but just check out this crowd that showed up (during an OU game, which if you live in Norman, is a big deal!) at Andrews Park, y’all! 🚫 👑 💪

No Kings Oklahoma City Oklahoma

Oklahoma!

Some scenes from the Oklahoma City protest. Despite the on/off again rain, thousands came out across the state to protest for #NOKINGS.

Protesting is Patriotic. #NoKings

So…where does one apply to be a “paid” protestor? Does it come with health insurance? What about PTO? Asking for a friend! 🧿🫦🧿

We forgot too quickly that Senator James Lankford sponsored a bipartisan border security bill last year that Donald Trump told them to reject. Everything happening now is manufactured chaos.

TikTok Shop recommended this shirt “inspired by the Capitol events that challenges the status quo.” The text on the shirts says: THEY SAY IMMIGRANTS ARE THE POOBLEM. BUT WE ALL SAW WRU STOAMED THE CAPITOE.

He only cares about gaining the spotlight to grab power. This picture makes him look especially villain-y. #OklahomaBlueDot

BASH: The big difference here, as you know, is that this is a broadcast network that was threatened by a govt individual who has oversight over their regulation and potential for mergers MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Sure, but this is also a network that has not been friendly to this administration whatsoever

BASH: Trump is redefining free speech as speech that's only favorable to him. I can't imagine you're ok w/ that as somebody who swore an oath to the Constitution MULLIN: He didn't say free speech. He said cheating & what he was referring to are elections B: No. That's not what he was talking about

Mullin: "When 97% of the news stories are negative about him & 99% about Pete Hegseth are negative, it is cheating, bc you're putting out a narrative that isn't true...there's a thin line between free speech & when it crosses a line and causes violence. And when you start calling someone fascist..."

Saw a sign that said “Oklahoma State Fair” and I’m like “No, it is not.”

Lobbyists spent $460,000+ this session! Mostly on steak dinners & receptions. Their wins? Tax cuts, budget cuts, and new courts just for corporations. Oklahoma families got scraps. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/p... #OklahomaBlueDot

Politicians in this state love to praise “hardworking Oklahomans” while voting against living wages and union rights. Labor Day is our reminder: workers don’t need praise, they need power.

"A year from now, maybe two years from now, we’ll notice that consumers ended up paying a significant amount of the tariffs even if they didn’t notice the increases right away.” www.cnn.com/2025/08/24/e...

A reminder that Donald Trump and JD Vance tried to humiliate Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, but rolled out an actual red carpet for Putin.

Go tell Kevin how you feel! cca.sandspringschamber.org/EvtListing.a...

The #Oklahoma Supreme Court has denied a request to halt Ryan Walters’ controversial new social studies standards, meaning they will officially take effect this school year. Critics have said the standards promote Christian Nationalism and promote false claims about the 2020 election. 🧵/1 #oked

If you’re looking for common ground with Republicans, ask one if they think the government should release the unredacted Epstein papers. They’ll say yes. No, they’ll say hell yes. They’ll say the people deserve to know who enabled child trafficking at the highest levels of power. Start there.

The White House just killed funding for mental health counselors in rural OK schools. 53 districts have ZERO counselors. Kids with autism, depression, trauma - left behind. www.kosu.org/show/stateim...

The party of exclusion wants to exclude people?! My god! 😱 OKGOP’s case against open primaries is gross, frames voters as bad actors and undermines the fastest growing political movement in the state: Independence. www.kgou.org/politics-and...

They started with immigrants. Then mayors. Now they're handcuffing U.S. SENATORS. Senator Padilla was tackled and cuffed by federal agents today for asking a question at a DHS press conference. The escalation is accelerating. We need an immediate investigation. Share this. Make noise.

#Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols just rolled out his first budget. Even after finding a deficit, he’s sticking to the goal of “functional zero” homelessness by 2030. @readfrontier.bsky.social www.readfrontier.org/stories/tuls... #OklahomaBlueDot 🔵

Spoiler alert, it's us. #Oklahoma www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/u... #OklahomaBlueDot 🔵

Approx. 5,000 braving the cold and wind at the #HandsOff protest today in Oklahoma City! #OklahomaBlueDots

Another Republican. Another Flip Flop. “I’m actually not comfortable with increasing the debt.” —Senator Lankford (R-OK), November 5, 2017 Except Senator Lankford did vote to add trillions to the debt then. And he’s about to add $37 trillion to the debt now.

@oklahomaoag.bsky.social's April Fools' Day gag is neither on time or funny.

📬 From the Inbox: Bill Hader introduced would treat empathy as contraband and shame as state policy. This bill has EVERYTHING: scaremongering, felony charges, fake concern for women's health and a politician with absolutely zero medical qualifications making medical claims! #OklahomaBlueDot #OKLEG

Senator Booker, here is your honorary Blue Dot: 🤝🔵 #OklahomaBlueDot #CoryBooker

Worst remodel ever.

Lankford blatantly lies on CNN: "RFK Jr has been clear he supports vaccines ... the president has been very clear on his support of vaccines."

The new standards say students should: “Identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in …” #OKED

Ryan Walters is priming supporters to reject any court or state that defies Trump. This is how authoritarian movements, including Nazi Germany, seized power. They did not just attack enemies but eroded trust in institutions that could hold them accountable.

We can’t allow wasteful energy companies to leave landowners stuck with dangerous, toxic… *checks notes* solar panels. 🧿🫦🧿

UPDATE: An Oklahoma County judge has thrown out @afugate.bsky.social’s suit against Stitt for his return-to office-mandate, saying the rep lacked standing. Fugate’s attorney said he’ll appeal to the Oklahoma State Supreme Court.

For perspective on our eviction laws, adding 5 days will still keep it very quick.

UPDATE: The new #TrumpTariffs on Canada and Mexico announced earlier this month are now expected to start Tuesday. According to last year's Global Trade Report from the OK Dept. of Commerce, Canada and Mexico were responsible for more than $2.5 billion in #Oklahoma exports and 9,500 jobs.

Good article from @readfrontier.bsky.social on Oklahoma’s eviction laws. Glad my SB128 is highlighted and should be heard in committee next week. www.readfrontier.org/stories/okla...
