BREAKING: Nebraska Senate votes to advance both competing bills for permanent Standard Time (natural time) and permanent Daylight Saving Time (fast time) into a second day of debate. Remind your #NELeg members: Yes on LB302, No on LB34! Link below. 🔗👇

🚨 Nebraska State Senator Megan Hunt filed #NELeg LB34 permanent DST. It would force millions to school/work in darkness for 2 to 5 months, with sunrises later than 9am! It costs lives when tried! 👉 Please file instead our bill for permanent Standard Time, for health, safety, education, economy.

#OnThisDay in 1957: “Hereafter it is against the law to have Daylight Saving Time in Nebraska, if any community wanted to have it—which apparently none does.” #NELeg #OTD #History #DitchDST https://www.newspapers.com/article/evening-world-herald-standard-time-offic/140056525/

Nebraskans could use deadly force to defend themselves, whether they are at home, at work, in their vehicle or out in public under a ‘stand your ground’ bill introduced in the #Nebraska Legislature.

#Nebraska senators seek to eliminate tenure for #collegeprofessors

“Higher education lacks a serious degree of accountability” because of #tenure, which protects #professors, after proving their competence, from being fired for disagreements with administrators or for controversial scholarly opinions, according to the senator who introduced the bill.

Nebraskans Against Gun Violence Mourns the Loss of Local Government

Gov Jim Pillen signed LB77 into law and wiped out all city firearm ordinances (firearm preemption) across the state.

*Stalkers will get their guns back in Lincoln
*Open carry will no longer require training and background checks in Omaha
*Cities can not require guns to be locked up and away from children anywhere in Nebraska

Together, we can stop gun violence but the fight just got harder.

#melttheguns #nebraska #neleg

This week in my state, the Nebraska legislature repealed all the city gun ordinances and also passed permitless carry, while children watched and guns are the #1 cause of death for American children.

I let them hear their shame. And I am now banned from the capitol for life.

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

Make the republicans eat every piece of the shit pie they have made and never let them forget it or put it down. We can and must stand up to the republican bullies and walk them back. It’s on all of us. Not just those elected into office.

How am I supposed to work while the #neleg takes away civil rights today in #nebraska?

My whole stomach is lurching.
