It’s back in the Senate to accept the amendment made by Hilbert which caps signatures in each county.

The National Association of Christian Lawmakers has been flooding my inbox with invitations to their annual conference at Liberty University. Why? To push model legislation like Ten Commandments in classrooms, public school chaplains, and mandatory release time for church during school hours.

One of my fondest Twitter memories was sparking a conversation between Micky Dollenz and Oklahoma State Rep. Mickey Dollens. Truly magical.

These bills would’ve helped make homeownership & housing more accessible & affordable; however, there was no effort from the majority to address the issue. Despite this setback, I’ll continue to push for legislation that tackles real problems & improves the lives of Oklahomans. 5/5

HB 1050 – Would have ended minimum parking mandates that drive up development costs and make housing more expensive. There would still be parking—just not more than necessary. 4/5

HB 1051 – Fair Zoning Act - Would have modernized Oklahoma’s restrictive zoning laws to allow for more housing options and market-driven solutions to increase supply and lower costs. HB 1051 failed to proceed to a vote because no one seconded the motion for it to pass. 3/5

HB 1064 – Would have banned out-of-state hedge funds from buying up Oklahoma homes, driving up prices, and locking families out of homeownership. Our neighborhoods shouldn’t be treated like a stock portfolio. 2/5

Oklahoma is facing a serious housing shortage, and I presented 3 common-sense bills to address the problem. Unfortunately, they all failed in committee. Here’s what they would have done & how legislators voted on each of the bills 🧵 1/5

And for the record, schools accept donations all the time. Many districts even have foundations specifically for this purpose.

Supreme Court to decide if public charter schools can be religious
Conservatives hope the case would continue a streak of rulings in recent years permitting taxpayer funds to be used for religious purposes.

The OK Supreme Court ruled 7-1 against. SCOTUS’s decision to review this case isn’t about justice - it’s about advancing an agenda.

An Oklahoma lawmaker has filed a bill that could amend the state constitution, allowing funds to get redirected to churches. One critic said the goal is to "force taxpayers to subsidize their religion." www.friendlyatheist.com/p/an-oklahom...

State lawmaker files bill focusing on helping animal shelters with spay and neutering costs
State Representative Mickey Dollens (D-Oklahoma City) filed a bill focused on helping animal shelters cover the costs of spaying and neutering the animals in their care.

HB1046 reduces pet overpopulation & euthanasia rates in animal shelters across OK. "It is a crisis," said Paige Bodden, the owner of Skiatook Paws & Claws Animal Rescue. "Every second of every day, every single day, animals die. I don't know how it can't be considered a crisis."

Religious extremists continue finding new ways to take from public coffers, weaken constitutional protections, and force taxpayers to subsidize their religion. We must protect public funds and the constitutional principle of religious freedom for ALL Oklahomans. (5/6)

This creates loopholes that allow the government to selectively support certain religions and places of worship with indirect funding for things like repairs, utilities, maintenance, advertising, Bibles in schools, among others. This all leads to government favoritism over other religions. (4/6)

SJR4 would replace “directly or indirectly” with “direct financial benefit” - a small change with big implications. (3/6)

Mickey Dollens @mickeydollens.bsky.social · 18/01/2025
State Senator Prieto filed a bill that would change Article 2 Sect. 5 in Oklahoma’s constitution, which details the strict separation of state and religion, ensuring that taxpayer dollars cannot fund or support religion and places of worship - even indirectly. (2/6)

🚨Remember in 2016 when Oklahomans voted NO on State Question 790, sending a clear message to theocratic politicians at the state capitol that they do NOT want their tax dollars funding religious activities, displays, and purposes? Well, it's back, this time with a sneaky twist.🧵1/6

While some Oklahoma lawmakers want to shutdown/ban homeless shelters in rural OK, I've filed a bill (HB1045) to help people get back on their feet: free replacement state IDs for those experiencing homelessness. Imagine that! #okleg HB1045: webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2025-...

Religious freedom is under attack in our schools. Lawmakers must step up | Opinion
Walters has mandated public schools keep a copy of the bible in every classroom. This is an attack on education and parents' rights.

"Paying large sums to lawyers to attempt to defend ideologically driven legislation has become commonplace in Oklahoma. These resources would be better spent attacking Oklahoma's poor math and reading outcomes." Nice piece from Democrat mickeydollens.bsky.social. www.oklahoman.com/story/opinio...

Forcing the display of the 10 Commandments in every public school classroom will not improve Oklahoma’s ranking of 49th in education. It’s anti-constitutional, anti-parent rights, and fundamentally un-American. @ffrfaction.bsky.social @ffrf.org.web.brid.gy

This program would prioritize: 🐾Low-income pet owners lacking resources for spaying or neutering. 🐾Community cats, whose overpopulation contributes to increased shelter intake. 🐾Underserved areas with limited access to veterinary care. (4/6)

To address pet overpopulation and reduce this burden, I’m filing legislation to amend the existing commercial feed law on pet food manufacturers who sell their products in Oklahoma. This amendment would increase the annual registration fee for pet food products from $50 to $100. (2/6)

Animal shelters across Oklahoma face a significant overpopulation problem, leading to overcrowding and high euthanasia rates. This issue affects not only animal welfare but also creates a financial strain on local governments and animal rescue organizations. We can change this! (1/6)
