If you are unsure about what to say when you contact your Senators, get the @5calls.org app. It gives you a script. Pick the issues that are important to you. If you leave a voicemail, you only have two minutes so focus on what’s most important to you. Fischer 202-224-6551

Doing our part to defend democracy and speak out against authoritarianism on #NoKingsDay
Devastated by what has happened in Minnesota. We have to do better. We have to stop the hate fueled rhetoric and cruelty that is leading to violence.

As a teacher, I #wearorange to raise awareness that gun violence is the #1 cause of death for children and teens in America. On this National Gun Violence Awareness Day, I join millions of @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers who work tirelessly to spread the message of #GunSafety to save our kids.

I am angry and heartsick that another child in Omaha, this time a 3 year old girl, has died because her father kept a loaded gun under a couch cushion rather than securely locked away. This tragedy was no accident. ketv.com/article/omah...

Front page story in the @owhnews.bsky.social describes what UNL and some Nebraska high schools are doing to educate students about the pitfalls of online gambling. Goes on to a second page and right next to it is a full page ad for Warhorse Casino. Not sure that ad placement was well thought out! 🤦🏻♀️

I’m not so sure I’d hold Don Bacon up as a moderate. His voting record that rarely matches his public comments, his unwillingness to meet in person with constituents, his remarks on X that inflame the MAGA crowd and more show his true colors.

DOD new memo requires all military services to spend countless hours poring over years of website postings, photos, news articles, videos to remove anything that promotes DEI. 31% of our military are racial minorities/16% are women. They’ve decided 1/3 of our Armed Forces DON’T deserve recognition.

Thanks to @ketv7.bsky.social and @1011now.com for doing such a thorough job explaining why the 3 gun bills our Nebraska @momsdemand.bsky.social oppose in the #NELeg are dangerous and put us all at risk. #GunSafety is our #1 priority.

I called my congressional representatives today to discuss the unconstitutional takeover of our government by Musk and his doggy group. The @5calls.org app makes it super easy with a script and connects you with your representatives. Be polite, but be forceful. We have power in our voice. Use it.

At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 89+ students lost their scholarships to become teachers because the RAICES Scholarship has the word Inclusion which DOGE deems “illegal”. We have a massive teacher shortage and asinine moves like this don’t help.

#Nebraska has a massive teacher shortage. But #DOGE decided to rescind the scholarships for 89+ students wanting to become teachers at UNL just because the RAICES scholarship includes the words Equity and Inclusion. We need a diverse work force. DOGE needs to go. CALL your representatives. Daily

Have you contacted your Senators to tell them to reject an extremist like Kash Patel as FBI Director? It’s an easy step to ensure your VOICE is heard.

Nothing to see here, folks, just the Pentagon’s “Intelligence” arm, the DIA, banning any activities related to Holocaust Rembrance Day, Black History, Women’s History, and crazily enough Native American History. If you think THIS makes America great, than you have a damn skewed view of the world.

The last paragraph says it all. If this loaded gun had been locked up, not stuffed under the mattress where all the kids knew its location, this 6 year old would be alive. Demand that #NELeg enact a Secure Storage law. #Nebraska #NotAnAccident @momsdemand.bsky.social @everytown.bsky.social
