State Rep of HD 46 in Norman, OK, since 2017. Proud father to my kids, partner to my gal, and a diehard public school warrior.
Yes! But…don’t forget the elected folks who enabled or ignored his incompetence (including a guy now running for governor 🍌) & not one of them was a Democrat. If you’re angry about Ryan Walters, remember it in November ‘26. Elect more Dems, because two decades of GOP supermajority rule is enough!

Update on Dr. Abedini, the OU prof grabbed by ICE…he’s been released & is safe. Thank you to all who advocated on his behalf. 🙏

Now…we must realize that the Trump regime has been doing this kind of 💩 for the past year +, condemn ICE for snatching folk up, & collectively figure out how to stop it!

I’m aware of this awful situation, shared by my constituent Dr. Landis. Nobody seems to know where Dr. Abedini is being held, tho he has contacted family. Rep. Deck reached out to Rep. Cole & Sen. Lankford’s office is looped in. Here to be a squeaky wheel & help however I can.

Elon’s made a mess of things over here with this new country of origin feature (not a bad idea, but there have been some inconsistencies due to VPN & temporary location changes, thus the mess), but juuuuuuuust in case y’all were wondering…yep!
I’m ‘Merican! 🇺🇸 😀

Hoping for this Mamdani + Trump scene as Gov. Stitt happily signs my HB 1493 (Growing Minds, Active Kids Act, which sets a statewide minimum of at 30 minutes for recess in all day pre-K to 5th) in 2026! It’s in the Senate and is ready to roll!
November 22, 2025 at 7:06 PM
She’s all of MAGA right now after Mayor Mamdani charmed Trump! Lol

Trump, softly touching his arm, says: “I’ll be pulling for him.”

🤯

Wild to see Trump speak so kindly (chummy even!) about NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani! And Mamdani basically blew up Republican plans to use him as a wedge in ‘26!
I thought he handled that meeting masterfully.

When it comes to teaching/learning at high levels, class size matters, but it’s not all that matters. Speaking as a teacher, while it woulda been nice to have less than 30 7th graders in each class, it was the lack of supports (for kids who really needed them) that made it so tough to teach!

‘Twas honored to see Rep. Forrest Bennett’s farewell to the Legislature in an emotional House floor speech! Folks it’s hard to find real folks at the Cap, but @forrest-bennett.bsky.social is one of them. It’s not goodbye tho, it’s see ya later, bc he’s now the president of the Oklahoma AFL-CIO! 💪

Brushing up on my Diane Ravitch… super important w/ literacy policy front & center for the 2026 session. If ya don’t know her work, she’s right about most everything in public ed, esp the harms of an over-focus on standardized tests/running schools like a business. Re: education, I often ask: WWDRD?

If we added 15 more days to the school year, the average district would spend appx $1M; statewide: $440–$620M.

I’d rather invest in what really helps kids: smaller classes, reading specialists, ⬆️ pay for support staff, mental health supports, etc.

I’m for improving our schools…but this ain’t it.

Not sure if y’all have been keeping up with the “quiet piggy” saga (where President Donald Trump told a female reporter “quiet, piggy” after a question he didn’t like)…but you can bet Gov. Newsom’s team has been! 🐷 😂

The history major/teacher in me has a question for y’all:

If you’re not Ken Burns-ing it up right now, what’re you even doing?? 💥 🇺🇸

Being a state REPRESENTATIVE is repping folks. Idc to which political party you belong, which religion, your background, your job (or if you don’t have a job), your social station, your gender, your sex, to whom you’re attracted, etc. I rep ALL, & that’s the answer you’ll get to this 👀 ⬇️ question!

Keep sending me Bernie memes!
Folks rip on socialism while ignoring 🇺🇸 already mixes it w/ capitalism: public schools, libraries, 🚒/🚓, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, SNAP, USPS, transit, etc. We’re a capitalist nation that relies on socialist-leaning structures, so miss me w/ the fear-mongering!

Hey educators & school staff! 👋 The Fields admin wants YOUR input on boosting student success. No names, just thoughts…plus you can rate the ideas!*

Drop your thoughts here: my.thoughtexchange.com/scroll/77401...

*Of course I added my pitch for the importance of recess & more physical activity!

I was scrolling through my feed and this caught my eye & part of me (a mericliless part of me) thought he was referring to former state superintendent Ryan Walters and his handler Matt Langston for wasting so much of our taxpayer dollars! Lol. 😐

Saw an ad calling for a plan to fix Oklahoma’s low rankings (education, health, innovation) while claiming “it’s not political.” Respectfully, it IS political. One party has run the state since 2011, & it’s the Republican Party…so all of this occurred under one party Republican rule.

Ever since Trump & his DOJ said there’s “nothing to see” regarding the Epstein files (after he & his crew hyped them up before & after the election) he’s tried nonstop distractions. Now it’s a self-made mess & possible military action in Venezuela. I just hope America 🇺🇸 sees through it!

For any of y’all who need a very clear take on the smoke, mirrors, & gaslighting of the showman that is Trump, I humbly submit exhibit A:

There’s no better way to OU pregame than to listen to Education Support Professionals (secretaries, bus drivers, paras, custodians, cafeteria workers, etc.)! 🏫🚌

Y’all know I love me a good analogy & football (who the heck doesn’t?), so here’s one to explain why ESPs matter 👀 ⬇️

Deep thoughts, from a former middle school teacher, who understands meaningless trends:

Does the Representative of House District 67, Rob Hall, have tweens yelling “67” at him all day?

🤔 😂

Anybody else watch “The West Wing” to remember what a real president acts like? President Bartlett is the definition of a statesman (rather than a feckless billionaire showman)…which is what this country needs! Are statesmen/stateswomen becoming fictional characters in this era?

Many folks have reached out to me asking what is up with a new commission that decided to hike up the pay for statewide elected officials, such as state superintendent (from $124,373 to $250,000 🤯).

First off…
