It’s unfortunate and frustrating this has to be something investigated by DOJ when City Council could have been taking a more active role in appropriate responses to behavioral health crises to divert unnecessary escalation of crises and hospitalization or criminalization.

It’s the final crunch to hit my 2022 reading goal and I am in it to win it

Today, the OK House of Representatives voted to censure Rep Mauree Turner and remove them from their Committee Assignments. We don’t have words to convey our anger at what those in power in the Oklahoma House did today to Representative Turner and our entire 2STGNC+ community.

When I walk into the chamber and there's a gaggle of troopers talking about me, I think about how Republicans have use every resource in their *power to make this place unsafe to Trans Oklahomans. To Us. To Me.

We stand united with @RepMaureeTurner against OK House GOP silencing and censuring them. Watch Rep. Turner's response. Pt 1/2 #OKleg #okpol

Make no mistake, Rep. Turner being Black played a role in the actions that were taken today. The Oklahoma Legislature is not a safe place. Never has been; never will be. We take care of us. #istandwithMauree

The superintendent mentions they have had extra counseling staff on site for students and staff. But we know, since State Supt Walters and the State Board of Ed passed administrative rules requiring forced outing, counselors at OK schools are unsafe for many 2SLGBTQ+ students.
