Good accounts to follow (in general and specifically for those in the Omaha area) and good groups/people to support:

[Jane Fleming Kleeb🇺🇸We The People @janekleeb]

I am so over this Supreme Court.

[Honest Sports Takes @honestsportsz]

@PopBase Conservatives claim to love personal freedom until it involves who you love or women’s bodies

[Jane 🕸 @janetherevelatr]

This is really weird because you can already do all of these things. What universe are these people living in where they think school budgets are deeply guarded state secrets?

[Senator Megan Hunt @NebraskaMegan]

We don’t do anti trans stuff here — stop attacking our trans family and the procedural torture will end. It is what it is. #NELeg

[Sarah E. Starkey @sarahestarkey]

@IAGovernor Government so small that it fits in your reproductive system, huh?

[Ari Kohen @kohenari]

As Nebraska prepares to enact a ban on abortion, I keep seeing state senators say, “I believe life begins at conception” in explaining the vote they intend to cast. I understand that they believe this. What I want someone to explain is why I should be governed by their beliefs.

[Senator Megan Hunt @NebraskaMegan]

Every pregnancy is different, which is why one-size-fits-all abortion bans are so wrong. We must trust people to make the right decisions for their personal circumstances with the guidance and support of medical providers they trust.

Warren Buffett: “At Berkshire we hope and expect to pay much more in taxes during the next decade. We owe the country no less: America’s dynamism has made a huge contribution to whatever success Berkshire has achieved – a contribution Berkshire will always need. “

[Dennis P. Crawford @DennisPCrawford]

The Nebraska GOP wants to ban abortion based upon their religious beliefs. Many faiths don't share their belief that life begins at conception. Right wing Christians routinely receive religious exemptions. Can other faiths get a similar exemption from an abortion ban?

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I will veto it.

[Sarah E. Starkey @sarahestarkey]

@RepDonBacon So, @RepDonBacon, you’re worried about Americans dying and don’t want to change the subject. What do you suggest we do about the exhorbitant amount of gun deaths in our country then?

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

There's a Democratic politician in Nebraska's state senate who's utilizing the filibuster on every debate to slow down the progress of anti-abortion or anti-trans bills.

Senator Machaela Cavanaugh said "this is how the session is gonna be for every bill."

More of this please.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Another MASS SHOOTING has taken place this evening in the James G. Blaine schoolyard in Philadelphia's Strawberry Mansion section. If that doesn't disgust you enough, the victims were a 2-year-old girl, 13-year-old boy, 15-year-old boy, and two 16-year-old boys.

As Republicans spend their time literally writing laws to make the AR-15 our "National Gun," Democrats are trying to write laws to ban that very gun and make sure our children don't have to worry about dying, playing in schoolyards.

It's time we elect people who care about our kids instead of people who merely write laws to get under Democrats' skin.

"Slaughtered"

Nebraska women aren't the same as your pigs, @jim_pillen. We aren't willing to be forced to gestate the future workforce of Nebraska. #NELeg

[League of Women Voters of the US @LWV]

People over politics. That's the tweet.

[Senator Megan Hunt @NebraskaMegan]

Horrific and cruel. Lawmakers are not medical experts, and we need to stop acting like we know what’s best for patients and their families. #NELeg

[alison @alisonlovestv]

cw: pregnancy loss

I live in Alabama, a state with a total abortion ban, and was so overjoyed when I found out I was pregnant last month. I’ve been doing everything right. Stopped caffeine, took my prenatal vitamins, followed every rec. But I started bleeding on Tuesday.🧵

[Women's Fund of Omaha | Bluesky: @womensfund @OmahaWomensFund]

Roses are red
Violets are blue
We support reproductive rights
and think you should, too!

[Stand For Schools @standforschools]

We're proud to support LB 487, introduced by @NebraskaMegan, which would prohibit #Nebraska schools that discriminate against students and families from receiving public funds.

NO institution should be rewarded for denying children an equal opportunity to learn - period.
