    Just did a really phenomenal mis-click, deleting my pinned tweet that had hundreds of very kind replies from you all and which introduced a thread of Oklahoma clips I'm proud of from my several years at KWGS and contributions to NPR. Here they are again!

    The governor was withholding White House COVID data intended for local governments, and those local governments were not very happy about it. publicradiotulsa.org/local-regional…

    An Oklahoma doctor cried on national television last night because his ICU is over 100% capacity and there's no other hospital to send people who need intensive care because they're all full, too.

    Kevin Stitt just said the SCOTUS decision in McGirt v. Oklahoma affirming Tribal sovereignty was a "Biden administration" takeover of state land. That decision came down in July 2020, during the Trump presidency.

    In Tulsa last night, adults booed a child speaking at their school district’s board meeting for expressing support for policies they feel would make them more safe as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

    Kin was met with boos from those in opposition of the training. Kin is taking a breath, and someone in the audience yelled "she is a student."

    Digging around trying to find out why the right was calling to defund NPR in a hashtag and, wouldn't you know, it's about this 100% accurate tweet

    President Trump declined to condemn the actions of the suspected 17-year-old shooter of 3 protesters against police brutality in Kenosha — claiming, without evidence, that it appeared the gunman was acting in self-defense. trib.al/ikmREYQ

    My mom died pretty suddenly today. Among other things, she gave me my love of plaid flannel, bandannas and profanity, along with a masochistic relationship with the National League team that plays in Queens. It’s true what they say — I didn’t call enough. Call your people.

    Never let the right get away with their "if they don't like the conditions, go back where they came from" messaging. This man was born in Texas and was arrested in Texas, far from the border.

    I will NEVER eat one of those FAKE burgers made in a LAB. Eat too many and you’ll turn into a SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT. Real BEEF for me!!
