Now I'm wondering if the Wild West was even a real direction at all.

Nebraska voters passed a minimum wage increase. LB258 guts it.

I’m calling on the advocacy community: Boycott the businesses of senators backing it. Picket their offices. Fill the rotunda. Your vote is not theirs to undo. #NELeg

Today, most of our state senators voted to ignore voters and undermine the paid sick leave reform that the vast majority of us approved just months ago.

See the story for a link to the vote count and make sure your senator hears from you this weekend. #NEleg
WATERED DOWN SICK LEAVE? Nebraska state lawmakers advanced a bill Friday that seeks additional carveouts to the language of the new paid sick leave law voters approved in 2024 before it takes effect this fall.

From Zach Wendling:
Paid sick leave carveouts for smallest Nebraska businesses, minors, temp ag workers advance • Nebraska Examiner

If you’ve got a Porsche in the driveway, a lake house for the summer, and a Rolex on your wrist, but you say you can’t afford to give your employees one hour of paid time off per 30 hours worked, (passed by the ppl in November!!) you’re not a job creator. You’re a grifter. #NELeg

This film was created entirely with an open source program and just won an Academy award! I love that so much.

It is a true work of art.

Flow was a movie experience I was not expecting in 2025.

The dreamlike animation, deeply emotional storytelling, and haunting score create a truly mesmerizing cinematic journey. Every moment resonates, even without words.

If a company fails to protect your personal data, they should be held accountable. LB 241 makes that nearly impossible, shielding big corporations while leaving Nebraskans vulnerable to fraud. Our job is to protect people, not make it easier for corporations to get away with negligence. #NELeg

The dissolution of the PCAH is a loss of a vital, bipartisan voice advocating for the arts, which has historically bridged cultural, political, and financial support. Without it, we risk losing federal backing for arts education, cultural diplomacy, diversity, inclusion, and free expression. 😔

I got a push notification for this promotion, and it feels very inconsistent with Target's recent cut of DEI. Using culture recognition for financial gain without a commitment to the values behind it feels, honestly, icky. This isn't genuine nor authentic. It's just a means to capitalize on funds.

Nebraska is one of the top meat producers in the U.S. It also has one of the worst labor shortages. The Trump administration has promised mass deportations on an unprecedented scale. We asked Nebraskans what that could mean.
