Thanks to all who came out to celebrate Freedom Day! ❤️🖤💚
Democrats, elected officials, and candidates walked in unison in the Omaha Juneteenth parade this morning. The morning was hot but our energy was hotter. Thank you, Mayor John W Ewing Jr, for leading the way in this North Omaha tradition! #NebDems

I made this video 2 years ago. I had a lot of people tell me I was being dramatic. Now we know UNH are pushing nursing home to get residents to sign DNRs. I’m so glad people are waking up.

I appreciate the offers from other scientists to help Harvard (students, labs, etc) through this attack, but what would be most helpful is for you to use your position to contact your elected representatives and make it clear this fight isn't just Harvard, it will affect you, and their districts too

Good job stripping the outside push for religion out of the Education bill. Sad that the measure to help teachers failed.
DEAL BROKEN? An uneasy compromise that became the Ed Committee package bill died on the Nebraska statehouse floor Wednesday, in part because the quest to infuse more religion into public schools failed.

Vote! John Ewing for mayor. Planted a sign for Andrew Adams for city council next to the polling place at Bancroft, where my grandmother went to school. Might be a new building but the heart is still in south O—VOTE!

Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America.

And what we can all do to stop it.

WTF? FBI agents arrested a Milwaukee county judge on Friday, accusing her of shielding an immigrant from federal authorities. The allegation? That Judge Hannah Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from” someone they were pursuing, according to a now-deleted post by Mr. Patel.

We need to change one mind.
BREAKING: LB 89, which mandates discrimination against transgender Nebraskans, just cleared its first-round vote. But if we can change just one vote on round two, we can stop this bill.
