Excellent thread!
9 Reasons why you should sign the petition to repeal LB753: 1. You believe that public tax dollars should go to public schools instead of private schools. 🧵 #SOSNE @SOSNebraska #Neleg

This is what love looks like.
Jamie Lee Curtis talks about defending her trans daughter “Ruby” in new interview: “This is my daughter, this human being has come to me and said, This is who I am. And my job is to say, ‘Welcome home.’ I will fight and defend her right to exist to anyone who claims that she doesn't. And there are those people.” Via PopBase

Rural schools get the short end of the stick with LB 753. Sign the petition to let voters decide to repeal or keep LB 753! @SOSNebraska

A governor interfering in the democratic process is not a good look.

I emailed the GIPS board president, Hank McFarland, on July 7th encouraging him to sign the petition to put LB 753 on the ballot. Despite requesting a response, I never heard from him. I followed up today. Hope others follow suit. Feel free to email him: [email protected]

A legal system that criminalizes a teenage girl for having abortion but is helpless against man who orchestrated a violent insurrection is not a legal system it's a national disgrace

Excellent tweet in an even more excellent thread.
Replying to @johndeeth
First off: You will probably lose. You need to be OK with that. There are a LOT of reasons to run besides winning yourself. If you can move the needle for the top of the ticket a few points in your direction, you've accomplished something and you've built for the future.

During my campaign, when I suggested to a concerned parent that she could read a book alongside her daughter & engage in developmentally appropriate convos w/her kid, she literally responded: I hate reading. I’m not doing that. She’s just gonna have to stop reading. 🤦🏽‍♀️
Replying to @kohenari
If a book doesn’t seem age appropriate to me, I explain that to my kid and we don’t get that one. We get a different one. It seems to me that some of these parents are actually upset that they have to pay attention to their children and talk to them about the books they grab.

I wanted to high five the daughter and tell her to read all the books even the ones her mom protests. I didn’t. I just replied, “good. You do you.”

It was never about protecting children: it’s always been about exerting control.
