Democracy only works with the active participation of its citizens. When people band together towards a common goal - the electorate has power.

When people abstain from this responsibility, the main principle of democracy fails. And bad people will always come in to rule and abuse in its absence.

The new "sex and gender" executive order does nothing but make trans people's lives more difficult than they already are. Trans prisoners will be raped more, trans federal employees will be discriminated against more, and trans travelers will be subject to unneeded hassle.

For nothing.

Because of this, I made the choice to shop at Hy-Vee yesterday instead of a Raybould family-owned store.
❌LB258 (Sen. Raybould) would harm workers by weakening Nebraska’s minimum wage law, the same law that NE voters overwhelmingly enacted in 2022. This bill carves out a subminimum wage for workers under 18 & restricts the cost of living increases that Nebraskans voted for.

ICYMI: Nebraska lawmakers and Gov. Jim Pillen announced a new push to define "male" and "female" legally for high school and college sports, bathrooms and more of state government. Some advocates say they are needlessly targeting vulnerable populations.

From Zach Wendling:
Nebraska lawmakers aim to define male, female for sports, bathrooms and more • Nebraska Examiner
Lawmakers will seek to define “male” and “female” in state law, broadening a past effort focused on K-12 school bathrooms and sports teams.
