Tom Oliverson, M.D., a Republican member of the Texas State House representing District 130 since 2017, posted a series of comments on social media addressing political themes and expressing his views on recent events.
On January 7, 2026, Oliverson published a post that simply stated: “Tyranny”. Later the same day, he commented further with a reference to George Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” writing: “Looks like communism has been good to him. ‘All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others…'” On January 8, 2026, Oliverson responded to another post with: “Me too!”
Oliverson was first elected to the Texas State House in 2017 and succeeded Allen Fletcher as representative for District 130. As a public official and physician, his online remarks often draw attention from constituents and observers interested in state politics.
