🧵 Tough love/advice for my fellow local Democratic candidates - knock Republican doors.

I stop at every house I pass with a Trump flag/sign when I’m out knocking doors. And the results might surprise you, maybe not.. /1 Before I tell you how I approach the convos, you have to realize that for some folks, but not all,
1) you might be the only Democratic candidate they’ve ever talked to.
2) their view on you is shaped primarily by divisive media/consultants/politicians /2

Has @GovStitt committed voter fraud? I'll leave that up to you to decide. Kevin lives at 1850 W. Waterloo Rd. in Edmond. His voting district SHOULD BE SD41 + HD39. His municipality SHOULD BE Edmond, OK. But that's not where he's been voting according to the OK Voter portal.... 👀 @GovStitt Even Sarah Stitt, @GovStitt's wife, appears to have committed voter fraud multiple times. Considering neither are registered at their current address - and the deadline to update their address before the general has passed, I wonder - will they commit voter fraud next week?

🧵 We're going round 3 today. Time to look closer at @sec_walters, @EKCOklahoma, and @OK_PSRC. See you soon.

If you're just seeing this, go back to the original thread (quote tweet inception here) within the thread this is QTing lol. I know. swampy /1 So, OPSRC stands for OK Public School Resource Center. but first, we're going to learn about their sister school in Arkansas (APSRC). Bankrolled by the Walton's [wal-mart], they have a deceptive name. They're as pro-charter as it gets. /2

Scoop 🧵 @gtbynum met with @MuscogeeNation, @CherokeeNation & @Osagenation Chiefs & other tribal leaders and peddled a lot of “condescending lip service” & said he both agreed with and supported @GovStitt’s position on McGirt. /1 The mayor said “I think @GovStitt is correct and I’m going to follow his lead.”

A Chief tried to break down the issue to help @gtbynum understand the gravity of Stitt’s actions. The chief said “Gov. Stitt is the worst Governor in Oklahoma history for tribes.”

GT said /2

% of Oklahomans who self-identified as Native American alone or in combination with another race based on 2020 Census data.

Good time to remind everyone (including @GovStitt’s office) that citizenship status and ethnicity are NOT synonymous. is this beautiful or what? 🥰

It seems clear to me that ⁦@GovStitt⁩, @sec_walters, Every Kid Counts OK, the State Chamber, etc have conspired to misuse federal GEER/CARES Act $

Judge for yourself, though. How did a months old biz get an $8 mil contract? #GEERAudit patreon.com/posts/58939130 I am very curious abt why the Scissortail Community Development Corporation first attempted to register the trade names “Every Kid Counts OK” & EKCO in January of 2020 /2

🧵 abt @GovStitt being sketch, per usual.

Have y’all heard of GEER funds? I hadn’t either until recently. Funded through the CARES Act, GEER stands for Governor's Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund. Stitt had access to $39.9 mil. How was it spent? /1 We need an audit - urgently. Stitt earmarked $30 mil to these 3 programs - Learn Anywhere Oklahoma, Bridge the Gap Digital Wallet and Stay in School Funds. 

Here’s a press release from ‘20 where Stitt made sure to say the funds could be given to private schools 🙃 #GEERAudit /2

We’ve seen the pure darkness of Gov. Stitt’s soul. We can’t give him 4 more years of power when we’ve seen the absolute evil he will do with it - & in the name of his God.

I walk back my past comments. If Joy is on the ballot in November, I’m voting for her. Period. We have to. She isn’t going to be the prog. candidate we need, want or deserve. But she went on record saying she would have accepted the recommendation of the P&PB. She wouldn’t have tortured 2 families & the entire Black community.

Not voting for her would be weaponizing your privilege.

🧵 personal thread on the Gov race. & I’ll keep it short & measured bc I have a moderate professional conflict of interest I can’t afford to inflame - I take issue with Republicans using our party as a Trojan horse. Folks say, well no1 else wants to run. that’s not true./1 We just know what happens when a candidate isnt the chosen one of the powers that be in the OK dem party. & this is the opposite direction of where the Oklahoma Democratic Party has proven to be moving!

We just re-elected the 1st AA woman to serve as state party chair! & she /2

I’m live from the Jackson Lahmeyer event with Wendy whoever from Arizona and a Republican primary challenger for @GovStitt

#TW!!! 🧵 “Sarah, why are you so hard on the @GovStitt” I take on a lot of personal passion projects. They normally center on the NDN experience, women, kids, mental wellness and sex worker rights.

Supposed to write what you know, right? /1 I write about NDN life because it is my responsibility to keep fighting for the honor of my ancestors and to protect my future generations from Yt supremacists like @GovStitt (worth noting, he’s also fighting for his ancestors legacy 🙃) /2
