- The OG. I live in Tulsa and drive by his museum often. A true patriot.
- I am saddened to hear about former Oklahoma George Nigh’s passing. He was a decent man, a true public servant & a sharp wit in the mold of Will Rogers. nondoc.com/2025/07/30/a... 'A remarkable man': Former Gov. George Nigh dies at 98
- Kudos to @nondocmedia.bsky.social @theoklahoman.bsky.social for breaking this 👀 story today. An obvious irony is how Walters has frequently targeted educators and schools throughout the state, accusing them of violating state laws & norms. nondoc.com/2025/07/25/b...
- Breaking from @nondocmedia.bsky.social: Muscogee Nation high court rules Muscogee Freedmen are entitled to citizenship & tribal law requiring relationships “by blood” to qualify are unlawful.
- TY iPhone for reminding me of my 1986 hair and makeup choices.
- ICYMI from @readfrontier.bsky.social: An Oklahoma father hoped to earn a extra money to pay for his upcoming wedding when he received a mysterious text about a tree-trimming job. When he showed up for the tree-trimming job, ICE agents swooped in & arrested him. www.readfrontier.org/stories/okla...
- @okcthunder.bsky.social good choice.
- “small market” what now? TTFU.
- omggg
- I am heartbroken to see this amazing warrior @highliburton.bsky.social injured. Praying it’s not as serious as it looked.
- If you’re @ire.org conference and need a break from the heavy subjects we’re all learning about, come see my friends talk about what investigative journalists can learn from The Real Housewives.
- Walking through the Dallas airport with my Thunder shirt on
- Cannot wait for @ire.org 2025 to start. I’m such a geek about it that I have all my panels picked out in the app and empty notebooks ready to fill up.
- Day 2 of Tulsa Tough, one of the country’s best bike races, especially for crit racers. We are hosting riders from the Cliff Family Foundation (founders or Cliff Bars).
- Ouch
- I know I’m super late with this comment but that game was a quality win last night. They did what they needed to do.

- LET’S GET THIS WIN. @osuathletics.bsky.social
- I love how emotional and dramatic the Sports Animal talk show guys are.
- This @okcthunder.bsky.social game has been a year.
- So humbled that our project, "The Life of the Mother," has won the Pulitzer Prize for public service. Thank you Mayron Hollis and the families of Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain and Porsha Ngumezi for trusting us to tell their stories. www.propublica.org/article/prop...
- Reporter Kavitha Surana discusses her groundbreaking work on our “Life of the Mother” project @propublica.org, including the importance of persistence and belief in your story even when the key sources tell you to go away. @berkeleyjournalism.bsky.social #LoganSymposium2025
- Had lunch on Lake Merritt today with this guy, my youngest son. I’m so proud of the kind, funny and interesting man he has grown to be. Also he says that since he dyed his hair red, people my age (older Gen X) tell him he looks like David Bowie, which he finds flattering and amusing.
- Love this piece by @marisakabas.bsky.social. I’ve been in this situation many times before @readfrontier.bsky.social and it’s infuriating. It’s not that hard to be generous with credit at or near the top of a story. www.thehandbasket.co/p/independen...
