"Pope Leo is WEAK on crime" is going to be bouncing around my brain for the rest of my life

[Senator Megan Hunt @NebraskaMegan]

Disability advocates have spent decades pushing this hurtful language out of public life. Horrible to see @TeamPillen has deliberately introduced this slur into his vocabulary.

Disabled Nebraskans deserve leadership that takes their dignity seriously.

The investigation of a teen’s death at Pillen Family Farms was marred by missteps, The New York Times and the Flatwater Free Press found. Said Dr. Erin Linde, who did the autopsy: “The type of investigation that really should have been done wasn’t done.”🔗 https://t.co/A5TeitMKuF

Heard someone here wasn't caring for a stranger.

“They were careless people… they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions.

Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy:

In 2015, nine Black parishioners were murdered during a Bible study at Emanuel AME Church—the oldest Black church in the South.

Among them was pastor and Democratic state senator Clementa C. Pinckney.

The killer was a 21-year-old white supremacist.

This is how President Obama responded.

In moments like this, presidents can choose to calm the nation and offer grace... or to inflame divisions and pit Americans against one another.

Don’t let leaders use tragedy to divide us. Don't let them attribute the evil actions of an individual to the entire group.

Not only is that collectivism, it's a tool of manipulation and control.

Reject it.

Finally, we're going to war. Against drugs. A "war on drugs," if you will.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

This is what the Nebraska legislature sounds like today. No exaggeration.

[Morgan @morgan_215]

@asanderford @cgonzalez_NE If the way Nebraska releases election results on election night has a million haters, I'm one of them. If the way Nebraska releases election results has one hater, it's me. If the way Nebraska releases election results has zero haters, I’m dead.

[Alastair McAlpine, MD @AlastairMcA30]

To talk about children with autism like this - like they are irreparably damaged and a burden to society - is ignorant, mean and callous.

This man simply has no idea what he’s talking about. He brings shame to America.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

The richest man on Earth is sentencing kids in poor countries to death from preventable diseases, delighting in mass firings, destroying the program that keeps elderly from eating cat food and he thinks we should feel bad for him that his stock holdings are down.

Sunday mood.

Thirty-sixth day of a 90-day session is a good time to remind ourselves of the unofficial tagline of #NELeg. Should be inscribed over entrance to chamber.

[Morgan @morgan_215]

@emfundertaker NMM is supporting LB 651 and 677 as good-faith executions of the measures that the Nebraska people passed, although we are asking for some amendments. Advocates are opposing LB 483 as a feckless attempt to overrule the will of the people. Please push comments!

[Zach Wahls @ZachWahls]

No Iowa Republican politician, including the governor, has been able to explain how making it legal to discriminate against transgender Iowans in matters of housing, employment, or access to credit makes life better for Iowa women and girls.
