We done did the dang thing and I’m still so smitten with this girl. Still can’t believe I convinced her to agree to forever yesterday, but I’m here for it. For like. Ever.
@AlaynalovesOU@NCAASoftball Right. I am reading. No reason to be hateful. HOURS seems a little excessive when it is typically 30 minute increments at a time. Not to mention how late game 2 will end up.
On Monday night I got a call from some former constituents. They’re the parents of Hope Shaffer, a 15 year old kid who tragically passed away in a car accident in 2020.
Fast forward to 2024: I’m going to a party at her parents’ house this weekend & this thread explains why 🧵
Watching Luke Combs sing beside Tracy Chapman with such obvious reverence makes the difference between appropriation and appreciation crystal clear.
When someone engages source material in a spirit of love, it shows.
Count all the ways he centers her, not himself 👇🏾
I’m really over the: “the WCWS isn’t fair bc OU has home field advantage” narrative.
OU isn’t good just bc there’s 10K fans there cheering for them.
There’s 10K fans there cheering for them bc OU is good.
My son is 15
I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby.
I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline.
When he was little stores and businesses didn’t have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn’t celebrate pride month.
He was raised Catholic, and went to church.
Guess what? He is gay.
The rainbow won’t make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won’t make your kid trans, they are born that way.
If you don’t love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent.
They haven’t failed, you have.
JUST IN: Another train has DERAILED in #Michigan that was carrying hazardous materials.
What is going on? This seems like a coordinated attack on our railway system across the country.
I’ve noticed it’s in key battleground election states too.
Ohio, Arizona, Michigan, Texas.
This is getting out of hand.
Demonstrators were allowed to protest inside and did so peacefully, while state troopers were standing by. Like many state capitols, Oklahoma’s is open to the public.
No officers were assaulted, no windows were shattered, and the speech was given.
@FlapJacksonian This is so factual. The church looks less and less like Christ and more and more like egotistical white men with a God complex. It’s hard to see when you’re so involved and traumatic to see when you’re on the outside looking in.
They’re ruining their witness.
Proud of you.
Hofmeister: “The rates of violent crime are higher in Oklahoma under your watch than in New York or California.”
Stitt *laughing*: “Oklahomans, do you believe we have higher crime than New York or California? That’s what she just said.”
This took me 30 seconds of research👇🏼
We’re one of the lowest in the nation for education and nearly THE lowest in prison safety… but our priorities are suddenly taken the rights of children away? Trans rights are human rights. SEE👏🏼YOUR👏🏼WAY👏🏼OUT👏🏼
I just signed SB3 to prevent gender transition services for minors at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital at OU Health.
This is just the first step.
I am calling on the Legislature to ban all irreversible gender transition surgeries and hormone therapies on minors statewide.
Congratulations, @markwaynemullin on winning your primary.
Our state deserves to hear directly from each of us, so I hope you’re ready to debate the issues in front of all Oklahomans.
Welcome to the general election. 😉

The MAGA folks worry that if the FBI can search Trump’s home, they could be next. But they never worry that if the police can shoot Breonna Taylor in her own home, they could shoot them dead, too.
See the disconnect?
BREAKING: Authorities have stopped this Uhaul and detained approximately 20 people. They all have the same type of clothing on. Truck was stopped about 1/8th mile from the pride event. We’re working to get more info from police. @KREM2
