Trans people exist, have always existed, and will loved and valued, no matter what their government tells them.

Conversion therapy is NOT THERAPY. It is not recognized therapeutic or ethical by the APA or the ACA.
Nobody needs the abusive and debunked “treatment” known as conversion therapy—and LGBTQ+ youth need to know they are loved and accepted as they are. As long as I’m in the legislature I’ll be working to ban it in Nebraska.

Defending conversion therapy is like defending the prescription of heroin for a cough. That was done at one time, but we know better now.
Govt regulates the medical industry to keep ppl safe. This is no different than any other modern regulations to protect consumers & patients.

No reputable medical or psychological association supports conversion therapy. Being LGBTQ+ is not an illness, and we don’t need to be cured.
We have been working to ban conversion therapy in Nebraska since 2019. With my LB 367, we could be next to ban this inhumane practice.

The Supreme Court is poised to overturn 32 state bans on conversion therapy and explicitly legalize the abusive and torturous process.
They don't care how many LGBTQ people this traumatizes and kills.

Media training has gone too far for some of these candidates for office—we can tell when candidates are speaking to donors and not to voters. No more memorized talking points that actually say nothing! We want proof that our leaders can recognize a genocide when they see one.

It’s disappointing but not surprising that Sen. Bosn denied our request for a public hearing on the Governor’s plan to hand over a Nebraska prison to ICE. These are not questions that can be answered behind closed doors or in private conversations.
Governor Pillen wants to hand Nebraska’s Work Ethic Camp in McCook over to ICE without legislative approval, public input, or transparency. This raises not just ethical concerns, but serious legal, fiscal, and safety questions. My colleagues and I are calling for answers.🧵

Nebraska prisons are overcrowded and understaffed, and instead of fixing it, the Governor wants to hand one over to ICE. We’ve called for a Judiciary Committee hearing because the people deserve to know: Who will be held there? Under what authority? At what cost?

This recent piece by M. Gessen is on my mind a lot. What we’re living through isn’t a pendulum swing, it’s a systemic realignment. Every day they push the line further and every day we’re told it’s too dramatic to call it what it is.
