A big pro-police rally in #Omaha on Saturday, reported here from @OWHnews:

omaha.com/news/back-the-…
Images shared on social media showed a handful of people attending the rally were from a group that the @splcenter has labeled a hate group, the Proud Boys. Below is one of the shared photos.

And here’s the SPLC’s description:

There was also an organized counter-protest near the foot of the stairs. Image
Many of the people who attended and spoke were featured in the story, a lot of local law enforcement and leaders. ImageImageImageImage

At the presser for the Support Our Schools group that says they have gathered nearly double the signatures they needed to get on the #Nebraska’s 2024 general election ballot. They’ve been delivering boxes to Sec of State. Image
Will try to tweet a little of the presser. Image
NSEA president Jenni Benson says the sheer number of signatures “sends a powerful message to elected officials and Nebraskans need them to listen. Nebraskans support public schools.” Image

Thread today @NEGOP’s State Central Committee meeting in Norfolk. They’re discussing typical party business. Some of the focus will be on a party constitutional amendment proposal to remove the voting power of four GOP-affiliated groups from state party’s Executive Committee. Image
The proposal from a 3rd District member, would make advisory members instead of voting members out of the Federation of Republican Women, Young Republicans, College Republicans and High School Republicans. The GOP chair could then exclude any of them from certain exec meetings. Image
This likely sounds like gobbledygook. Essentially, some partisans say they want to take away these votes because the groups side more often with the traditional wing of the GOP or the Ricketts wing. Some rural folks think the groups give unfair power to urban and suburban areas. Image

Big day. Image
The folks handling Capitol Security and the redcoats are taking the step today of separating the supporters and opponents of Legislative Bill 626, a proposal to ban abortions in the state after an ultrasound detects embryonic cardiac activity. ImageImage
There are already some folks here standing in the Rotunda who say they are against LB 626. Image
