A legend.

Willa Johnson passed away at age 83 and lived a remarkable life. From serving her country to serving her county/ city Johnson was a pioneer. She became first Black woman elected to the OKC City Council W7, and was later elected to D1 Oklahoma County Commissioner.

Throughout her life she accomplished so much. She received an honorary doctorate from Oklahoma City University, and is also in the African American Hall of Fame.

Brittan Kirk was arrested after being accused of planning a deadly attack in Oklahoma City. Officers searched his car where they discovered AR-15 parts, books on how to build explosives, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

He was booked into the county jail on Sunday, and released on a $5,000 bond on Monday.

Knowing this city and state's horrific history when it comes to domestic terrorism you would think they take this more seriously!

* There is an error in the first slide. The actual text is “Man accused of planning deadly attack [arrested] in Oklahoma City.” It is not clear if his intentions were to plan the attack directly in Oklahoma City or surrounding areas. We’ll keep you updated.

From grocery aisles & church pews to classrooms & sidewalks these massacres can be stopped. It must end.

As we ask ourselves when the next time could be? There’s a probability the date has already been chosen, and the action yet again delayed.

Tragedy from coast to coast.
No words.

Doing something slightly out of my comfort zone, but the actions we’re are seeing coming out of the ; has led me to start a series called . Here's a preview.

I'm diving into these attacks on protected rights because it's wrong to pretend this path is not dangerous.
If you know anyone engaged in the community doing great work, tag them. I want to know & see how we can help elevate that work.

Our old Tik-Tok account was banned, so we created a new one with the handle @ theblacktimes. We’d deeply appreciate it if you followed the account 🖤.

Why are we still discussing equal access to healthcare in Oklahoma, let alone the entire country in the 21st century? This topic is not so much about defending life, because the reality is that this country has little compassion for the living. ...

What a great way to waste resources. Law enforcement surveillance from the sky.

Politics is not a game. There are real world consequences and vulnerable people who are heavily impacted.

Over the weekend hundreds of people gathered at the Oklahoma state Capitol, to listen to several speakers discuss the importance of reproductive freedom.

The unconstitutional assaults on fundamental rights, violate the protections granted to citizens to avoid government overreach, such as “the inherent right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, which is mentioned in article II section two of Oklahoma's state constitution.

In April, Stitt signed SB 612 which legally bans healthcare providers from performing abortions. The consequences for violating the ban is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and a fine of $100,000.

On Sunday, he appeared on Fox News to discuss the abortion bans. He was asked about a report published by The Frontier regarding polling data for public opinion on abortion.

The report cites a 2014 Pew Research Study, which reports “51% of 391 Oklahoma Respondents believed abortion should be legal in all or most cases.”, the host continued, “so within the last few years your state was pretty evenly split on this issue.”

Stitt then says, “Well…some of those different facts, or those newspaper that you’re quoting…are not what we find with the people in Oklahoma, so I totally disagree with those numbers.”

This country has a dark and neglectful history of making decisions about an individual's body in the name of the law.

Stitt and many of our state's lawmakers are testing how far over the line they can go, and whether the people will use what they fear most, their voice and vote.

🗣 Oklahoma! Denying people access to preventive care is denying them access to healthcare.
