Come to our No Kings Rally on June 14 at 9:30-11:30 AM! We will be lining the sidewalks in protest of the 🍊 regime. The Star City Parade is the same morning, so please see our graphic for details!

Indivisible Nebraska Lincoln has a new website and newsletter (indivisiblenebraskalincoln.com)! Since our domain is new, lots of the stuff we send out goes to people’s junk mail (how dare they put us in junk! 😂😉), so here is the current newsletter. We are safe senders, I promise!

Nebraska! NE-02 will get a billboard by @indivisible.org ! This district voted FOR VP Harris in 2024. Please chip in! @indivisibleneb.bsky.social @indivisiblelne.bsky.social @nebraska50501.bsky.social @lwvne.bsky.social secure.actblue.com/donate/23-we...

They passed this is the middle of the night so nobody would be there to protest. They think we are stupid. 9 MILLION people without health insurance (including those with Marketplace coverage) if the Senate passes it. Gift article because I still can. Who knows for how long.

The Governor of Nebraska refuses to give public housing residents bedbug relief. This is what the GOP of today stands for. “Pillen vetoes bedbug bill aimed at relief for Omaha public housing residents”

Once again Mike Flood is holding his town hall in rural Nebraska instead of the 2nd largest city in the state that he represents. We can pack the hall anyway!! TUES MAY 27, 5-6 PM, Seward High Auditorium. Click below if you need a ride or if you can give rides!! form.jotform.com/251394601922...

I sure hope so!

The “Big Billionaire Bill” is the most accurate name for this atrocious piece of legislation. “The biggest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich in the history of this country.”

Call your senators. This bill is heading to them next and they can stop it if the people speak out. (202) 224-3121

This young lady’s letter in opposition to Rep. Laurel Libby’s atrocious comments about transgender kids in track is an example of how kids can be raised to be strong and capable, and at the same time kind and gracious. Great job , Anelise!!

When you read the story, and the responses by the far right, it’s very clear they want nothing to do with a democracy. If we don’t fight back that’s exactly what they’ll get. 'Traitor among us': Coney Barrett infuriates Trump's fans by backing Kagan at hearing www.rawstory.com/amy-maga-kag...

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Blatant insider trading. Good thing she’s not in law enforcement. What? Oh.

The Nebraska Governor believes people who are convicted of drug crimes can’t recover. Why else would they be banned for life from SNAP? No wonder his focus is on building prisons rather than building human beings. “Pillen vetoes bill ending Nebraska lifetime SNAP ban for certain drug convictions”

“Amid protests and Democratic pushback, U.S. House GOP launches work on Medicaid cuts” Please call your Representatives. People will suffer and die needlessly from these cuts while the ultra rich get richer.

“Nebraska Legislature advances proposal to weaken paid sick leave.” The overwhelming majority of voters voted for a strong sick leave law. The legislature thinks they know better than their constituents.

If Jean Stothert can go down, so can Don Bacon and the rest of the GOP!! Keep speaking up!

Huge call to action!!! The GOP presented a bill taking trillions out of Medicaid. Said they wouldn’t, but Medicaid is now specifically on the chopping block. It’s easy to call your Congresspeople (and Senators). Download the 5 Calls app. Download 5 Calls..it’s easy!!

Indivisible Nebraska Lincoln supports veterans! The CDCE advocates for veterans in many ways. A group of them, including Allison Gill (@muellershewrote.com) will be in Washington, DC around June 6 speaking to Congress about devastating funding cuts. Let’s support them! secure.actblue.com/cdce/donate

More ways the 🍊 regime is trying to kill us. www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

Formaldehyde, borax, lead, brick dust, and rotten milk. All available in your food at the local grocery store before the FDA. Are we winning yet? www.popsci.com/health/food-...

Policy change starts locally and builds from there. Lincoln, Nebraska, vote on May 6!!

This is two global elections in ONE WEEK where the conservative candidate trying to become prime minister not only led his party to a big loss but lost their own seat in parliament (!) in huge upsets. We are global pariahs unseen since the end of the Cold War and need stronger domestic opposition.

At a time when many are bending a knee, the American Academy of Pediatrics takes a strong stance against the government’s interference with evidence based medicine. First with false and misleading information about vaccines, now false and misleading information about kids with gender dysphoria.

The DOJ is now investigating scientific MEDICAL journals for being “partisan!!” Do people want this regime censoring the journals doctors read to take care of them?? www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

People like Mr. Perez are being kidnapped and sent to concentration camps without due process. We must stop this! "This is about a good humanitarian act…." — Aaron Perez, a Columbus firefighter who came to Nebraska at age 8 from Zacapu, Mexico.🔥

What the 🍊 regime is doing is a threat to every single person in the United States. Deporting more children with stage 4 cancer and breastfeeding mothers. If you think, “It can’t happen to me because….,” you are wrong. Is this what we want for our country? open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

I just can’t. Women, POC, children, babies, LGBTQIA+…Those are their targets. Poor little butterfly white men have their feelings hurt. “NIH guts its first and largest study centered on women” | Science | AAAS

THIS is what we mean by showing up. Reps Carter, Thompson, Pressley and Sen Markey, went to a detention center where Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk are being held w/out due process. They didn’t just stand up for their own constituents—they stood together for all because there’s power in numbers.

Anne Telnaes for the win again!

Remember to take care of yourself during these difficult times.

It's WIP Wednesday! Share your WIPs! Are you working on a drawing, painting or other #reyloart? Your latest fic? A manip or moodie? Video, animation or comics ? Something else? Let's see those fabulous WIPs! Tag them #reyloww - would love to see them & will RT!

If you think pushing an anti-vax agenda is bad, consider this. RFK, Jr. eliminated the advisory committee that recommends which diseases to screen for in newborns. The states control which diseases get screened for, but they heavily rely on this advisory committee. (1/)

This is the resistance we need!!

Join us at Pete Rickett’s Town Hall in Kearney, NE this Thursday! Sign up in comments, planning to carpool!

Thanks to 50501 Lincoln for putting on a great protest yesterday in Lincoln, Nebraska! Indivisible Nebraska Lincoln helped collect food for the Lincoln Food Bank and we received SOOO many more donations than expected! Thanks 50501 Lincoln and all those who came to donate and protest the 🍊 regime!!
