The U.S. #SupremeCourt ruled in Plyler v. Doe (1982) that states must provide free public education to all children, regardless of immigration status. So not only is this cruel, it’s unconstitutional.
But hey, when has that stopped them?
#TheBigBite 8/8
National #GOP leaders love this move because it normalizes turning schools into surveillance hubs. Today it’s #citizenship checks; tomorrow, it’s ideological purity tests. How very freedom-loving of them.
#TheBigBite 7/8
Oklahoma’s citizenship checks aren’t about law and order—they’re about fear. It’s the same playbook as family separations and border wall theatrics. Just another way to dehumanize immigrants, starting with their kids. #NoHumanIsIllegal
#TheBigBite 6/8
Immigration rhetoric isn’t just dangerous—it’s expensive. Oklahoma schools will spend money they don’t have to enforce policies they don’t need. Maybe use those funds to hire teachers? Crazy thought, I know.
#TheBigBite 5/8
Republicans scream 'parental rights!' but now they’re fine with schools interrogating kids about their immigration status. Guess rights only apply to the ‘right’ kind of parents. #Hypocrisy
#TheBigBite 4/8
This isn’t just an Oklahoma issue—it’s part of a broader plan. Meet #Project2025, the right-wing blueprint for turning public institutions into immigration battlegrounds. It’s not about education; it’s about control.

Over 75% of Oklahoma 4th graders can’t read proficiently, but sure, checking kids’ citizenship will fix that. Guess Oklahoma schools missed the 'all kids deserve education' memo.
#TheBigBite 2/8
Show-and-tell is taking a new meaning at school for a state known for their educational 'excellence'...
#Oklahoma ranks 49th in education—barely beating New Mexico—and instead of fixing that, they’re making teachers play ICE agents.

What’s scarier: Trump playing president a month early, or media rolling out the red carpet for it? Share your take—because if this keeps up, Jan. 20th will feel like little more than a formality.

Trump’s bluster, media’s deference, and Biden’s sidelining are creating a narrative where January 20th feels like a coronation, not a transition. Democracy deserves better than this ‘soft coup’ of norms.
#TheBigBite 7/8
When the media reports on Trump as if he’s already in charge, it sidelines Biden’s presidency and reinforces Trump’s power grab.
ABC’s settlement, foreign policy threats—this normalization isn’t just bad journalism, it’s dangerous.
#TheBigBite 6/8
Trump’s team already planning to undo Biden’s EV policies before January 20th. This isn’t transition—it’s erasure. Media’s treating it like a foregone conclusion instead of what it is: premature overreach
#TheBigBite 5/8
Trump’s slamming Biden for selling off border wall sections, calling it ‘almost criminal.’ Imagine Biden issuing ultimatums to Trump’s transition team. This only works one way—because the media treats Trump’s bluster as gospel.
#TheBigBite 4/8
ABC News settling with sex criminal Trump over the E. Jean Carroll case sets a chilling precedent. Trump treats lawsuits like PR, and media outlets media duck and run. The result? A press too scared to hold him accountable.
#TheBigBite 3/8
Trump is warning Hamas to release hostages by January 20th - or else. Here’s the twist: he’s not president yet.
But when Trump acts like the boss and media platforms amplify it, Biden might as well be a lame duck already.
#TheBigBite 2/8
Rapist & Convicted Felon Donald Trump is already running a foreign policy preview - threatening Hamas, slamming Biden’s policies, and turning the #ABC settlement into a weird flex. All while Biden is still president. #MainstreamMedia is nodding along like this is normal.
It’s not.
#TheBigBite 1/8
So, Democrats: fix inflation narratives, rebuild the working-class trust, and navigate social landmines with empathy—not condescension. Or, keep losing to a party wearing red caps with billionaires laughing backstage. Your move. #TheBigBite 8/8
Let’s not forget: Romney’s critique isn’t #altruism; it’s his version of “I’m not mad, just disappointed.” But he’s got a point. Democrats can’t win #elections by whispering to the coasts while the heartland screams for help.
#TheBigBite 7/8
Romney retiring doesn’t end his gripes. He’s a political ghost haunting both parties. Democrats must figure out how to tackle economic woes and complex social issues—or risk being outflanked by MAGA populism for good.
#TheBigBite 6/8
The reality: Romney’s nostalgia for pre-Trump #politics feels like yearning for a Blockbuster return. But his warning for Democrats is real: the GOP owns the kitchen table conversation, and Democrats are stuck in the lecture hall.
#TheBigBite 5/8
#Romney, the eternal #anti-Trump #Republican, can’t help but tip his hat. Trump flipped the script, making GOP voters forget they used to love tax cuts for #billionaires. Instead, he handed them a #MAGA cap and a dream.
#TheBigBite 4/8
Meanwhile, Trump’s GOP built a “working-class coalition,” or so they claim. Translation: exploit #blue-collar pain points, sprinkle in #xenophobia, and rebrand the mess as #populism. Still, it’s effective - and Democrats should take notes.
#TheBigBite 3/8
Romney’s critique of Democrats: #inflation, #immigration, and #culture-wars aren't fringe concerns—they’re dinner table issues. Ignoring them is like forgetting to RSVP to the middle class’ party.
Democrats showed up late, without snacks.
#TheBigBite 2/8
Mitt Romney’s swan song is a symphony of “I told you so.” He just reminded #Democrats they’ve botched 2024—again—by losing touch with the working class. Meanwhile, Trump’s turned the #GOP into Walmart populists.
Let’s dig into the receipts.
#TheBigBite 1/8
Whether or not #TikTok survives, one thing is clear: lawmakers tackling tech is like toddlers playing with power tools. The only thing they're building is a bigger mess.
#TheBigBite 8/8
The irony: banning #TikTok might protect American data from #China, but it won’t protect it from, well, America. Congress has no issue with #BigTech snooping as long as the profits stay stateside.
#TheBigBite 7/8
If #TikTok gets banned, expect a digital diaspora. Creators will scatter to #Instagram, #YouTube, or—God forbid—#Twitter. The result? Same cringe dances, different platform, no real solutions to #DataPrivacy.
#TheBigBite 6/8
#TikTok’s CEO says they don’t share data with #China, but U.S. lawmakers are unconvinced. Meanwhile, #Meta and #Google rake in billions exploiting your data. Funny how only foreign spyware seems to bother Congress.
