Howdy. For those who missed it, today was my last shift hosting Morning Edition. This week, I start as senior reporter at @KWGSNEWS! I’ve already delved into lots of issues that affect Tulsans in my reporting, and this will allow me to go even deeper.

.@TulsaSchools board candidate stances on @RyanWaltersSupt's immigration rule Carby, Simmons: Oppose McAlester: Moderately opposes; says initially misunderstood question Joseph: Couldn't be reached; endorsed by @GabeGwoolley, who's authored a similar bill

Tulsa Public Schools board president Stacey Woolley says more than 100 Hispanic students were unenrolled this month. For context, she said this is five times what's usually seen in unenrollment for ALL students this time of year.

Zink Lake construction contributes to a projected $15 million deficit in Tulsa’s general fund

Tulsa will be the first city in Oklahoma that can dispatch mental health specialists to calls instead of police.

The Good Place™️ still isn’t as good as this absolute nuclear waste dumping site for news, so I’ll pop over here occasionally to share my work. Still kinda hate what this corner of the internet has become.

“(The opening prayer) usually is a Christian prayer, and may send the message that their government is not for them or they don’t belong.” Tulsa city council removes invocations from meetings; instates ‘moment of silent prayer or personal reflection’

BREAKING: Tulsa City Council votes to remove opening invocation from council meetings; instates “moment of silent prayer or personal reflection.” People currently signed up to pray may do so. Last prayer is May 21.

The @Just4Greenwood attorney representing the two remaining survivors of the massacre said the three of them learned what was in the @CivilRights report “through press outlets who were granted access to the report” before them.

Sobering thing I discovered today: Some of the perpetrators of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre were young enough that they were in their 50s in the Civil Rights era. History is not the distant past.

In the Department Of Justice’s first report on the Tulsa Race Massacre in more than 100 years, credible reports show that Tulsa police “participated in murder, arson and looting” in the deadly event.

People in Oklahoma’s legal system are routinely required to agree to pay fines to the state without knowing how much they owe. I spoke with two women who were faced with this dilemma when they got out of prison.

RT @alorisoi: "fuck it we ball" (malnourished, heavy eye bags, dehydrated, and on the verge of insanity)

@realmartypeercy This is the most perfect thing you could have said 😂😂

@EasyScenario There IS food worth waiting in line for. Idk if Harvey is that. If the line isn’t crazy long I would still go for the apple/cinnamon/brown sugar croissant
