State representative Machaela Cavanaugh has been filibustering efforts to, in essence, legislate hate against trans children, for almost eight weeks straight. State senator Megan Hunt has joined in her efforts to protect trans children in #Nebraska.
Thanks to their combined effort, the session has been as painful for Republicans as promised.

What a #hero! #Nebraska State Senator #MachaelaCavanaugh, declaring she would "burn the session to the ground" has been filibustering every bill that comes before the Legislature in order to protest against advancement of a bill that would outlaw gender-affirming therapies for transgender youth. She's paused to in order to debate the bill and force a vote. https://ktar.com/story/5475131/debate-on-nebraska-gender-affirming-care-bill-gets-combative/
