Debriefing from a week of AP training. I'm continually impressed and in awe of Oklahoma teachers. Some of these teachers have unbelievable workloads, yet maintain their optimism and dedication to their craft. Much love and respect to my rural OK peeps! #oklaed #apsi

🚨ALERT: Our office has received multiple complaints of poll workers instructing voters to vote straight party.
You do not have to vote straight party to have your vote counted. If a poll worker tells you who to vote for, contact our Election Protection Hotline at 405-849-5220.

Oklahoma drastically failed this teacher.

On Monday, a judge in Memphis sentenced a woman to six years in prison for trying to register to vote. He said she had tricked the probation office into signing a form indicating she was eligible. You can watch some of the sentencing hearing here: https://t.co/esCBTcSbkq

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."

Covid cases are already at the third highest peak that we’ve seen in the US and this winter wave is just beginning. In Oklahoma, our Governor has fired every physician on the Health Care Authority Board and fired the physician in charge of the State Health Department. #gutted

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Our tax system is rigged for billionaires who don’t make their fortunes through income, like working families do. The evidence is abundantly clear: it is time for a #WealthTax in America to make the ultra-rich finally pay their fair share. https://t.co/MEgLcFptOI

[Abby Broyles @abbybroyles]

Correction: It expands access to the ballot box, protects voting by mail, establishes independent redistricting commissions, allows more days to early vote so working families can vote, gets dark money out of politics, and restores power where it belongs — to the people.

[Val Roberson @rambling_reader]

Incredible.

Wilberforce University is a historically Black university.

This is the exact moment the graduating class learned their student debt was being forgiven.

Sixty seconds of pure joy.

[Austin Beerworks 🪙 @AustinBeerworks]

We're seeing lots of posts about how nobody wants to work right now. Just wanted to share our experience.

We received over 60 resumes for a taproom bartender position we posted last week. Every applicant we've set up an interview with has shown up.

People want 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 work.
