Started a discord for Nebraskans interested in building community here and making the state a better place to live from a progressive/left lens. DM me if you'd like an invite.

A 25-year-old man armed with an AR-15 was arrested Monday at Children’s Hospital in Omaha after threatening to harm himself and others.

Nebraska lawmakers just passed permitless carry and @jim_pillen signed it into law. #neleg https://www.wowt.com/2023/05/02/york-man-arrested-terroristic-threats-against-hospital-with-ar-15-style-rifle/

Why did it take national media attention for me to find out that Nebraska Republicans are pushing for an end to no-fault divorce, per their official website?

Good night to all the Nebraskans who stand for reproductive freedom, privacy of medical decisions and supporting women and doctors making decisions about our health rather than politicians. Great job Senators who stopped (again) an abortion ban in Nebraska #NeLeg

Nebraska Heartbeat Act is trending. #NELeg would require a doctor, before proceeding with any #abortion, perform an ultrasound with standard medical procedure to listen for a #fetalHeartbeat. If a heartbeat is "present", an abortion may not be performed.

@Lowie They decided that Republican was aligned with "Feckless fascists who want Alex to die and the world to burn" so yes, I want them all gone.

To quote Senator Megan Hunt of Nebraska -- "I don't care. I don't like you."

The Recount shared a clip of Hunt's speech via Twitter, writing, "State Sen. Megan Hunt (D), speaking directly to Republicans, reaffirms vow to filibuster all legislation if #NEleg anti-trans bill passes: 'No one in the world holds a grudge like me. And no one in the world cares less about being petty than me. I don't care. I don't like you.'"

@MHowell @joncollinsdev

This is how every Democrat in a red state should act when the Neo Confederates target human rights and basic civil liberties.

This hateful bill is not about policy. It is a basic human rights issue. The vote today will show us exactly which senators value the dignity, autonomy, and personhood of Nebraskans. Do not cross this line. Do not violate our rights. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #NELeg

The American liberal white woman is the most vicious, violent, hateful creature on the planet. You won’t find a more committed communist anywhere in the world.

“I will burn the session to the ground over this bill.”

Nebraska state senator Machaela Cavanaugh has been filibustering every. single. bill for three straight weeks to prevent the advancement of a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors. #NotAllHeroesWearCapes​

new server, new #introduction!

Hi! I'm a software engineer from Lincoln, #Nebraska, currently most likely to be working with #ruby on rails, #11ty, and on #a11y.

I'm an #ebike and #cargobike evangelist and a builder of community, lately through events like Do It Ourselves Fest and Queer Family Potluck Picnics.

I'm a parent to a baby that's quickly becoming a toddler. I want to try every craft. I <3 walks.

How the Lincoln NE anti-trans bill hearing stream cut itself off short. #NELEG gotta get it together.

I’m really scared for tomorrow. Is anybody else going to testify in person tomorrow in Lincoln against LB574? #Nebraska #NELeg #LGBTQBills

#Surrogacy legislation trending. Proposed #NELeg aims to repeal provisions stating that #surrogate parenthood contracts are void and unenforceable within the state.

Sharing this 1 more time. The hearing is Feb 8th in Lincoln. Written comment must be submitted by tomorrow online if you aren’t testifying in person. Please help by speaking out against this bill.
