Urge your senator to oppose cuts for the top personal and corporate income tax rates. This would do little to nothing for most Nebraskans, while depleting revenue needed to reduce property taxes, and jeopardizing education funding. #NELeg ow.ly/kdNc30oeeT2

This raid is a big deal. These corporations are hollowing out our communities- and undermining families

You know you are in Nebraska when….

When do we get to that part where climate change is a hoax? Fueled by climate change, extreme wildfires have doubled in 20 years wapo.st/3VSoiz4

⁦OPPDCares⁩ downed power line 28 and Iowa in Omaha. People are driving next to this distribution line and over there he street light line.

And….just watched someone step over this downed power line at 28 and Iowa in Omaha….fyi, ⁦OPPDCares⁩

⁦OPPDCares⁩ Neighbor asks if they can cut out limbs that are over a line -given that the power is out up and down the street?

Happy 4th of July - y’all be careful out there! 🤣🤣🤣

Actually this is Nebraska. The Omaha metro.

Northeast Omahans: Get storm-damaged tree limbs to the curb by Monday. Mayor Stothert has OK’d a second round of curbside tree debris pickup — in the neighborhoods outlined below. This is YOUR last chance for FREE curbside pickup. Limbs must be along curb - not in yards.

Packed house as Omahans hear about a proposed industrial park near Carter Lake that people fear will take their homes.

Mulroney on proposed industrial park: we will not use eminent domain to take your home. Will the Mayor use eminent domain? asks skeptical audience member. No direct answer except that ‘we aren’t the mayor and we don’t have legal authority to use eminent domain.’

George Achola on Omaha’s controversial proposed industrial park: ‘This thing has been on the table since 2011, and the fact that no one talked to you is sad.’

Water Use Advisory for Lincoln Severe storms have disrupted power to Lincoln’s wells, temporarily limiting our water supply. Please take the following actions: 🚫 Cease all outdoor water use immediately. 🚫 Reduce indoor water use as much as possible.

Breaking news: Korean Air says turbulence on its flights has doubled since 2019. We know there's more turbulence in the atmosphere from climate change, but (as far as I'm aware) this is the first airline admission of increased turbulence on flights. (Also, no more noodles!)

Mavericks, Campus Recreation is opening its doors for those who are still without power, including access to showers and microwaves. Students, staff and faculty can use their MavCards at the H&K Building this weekend during its hours from 10am - 6pm to access these resources.

Omaha is one of these cities. Point of clarification-in terms of this summation— the effort is not due to global warming’s heavier rainfalls. But yes, success is more difficult to accomplish bc of our now wetter world. These projects were forced on cities by Clean Water Act.

Until the late 1990s, Omaha was home to a massive lead refinery that emitted tons of ‘bioavailable lead’ into the air. Wouldn’t it be a fascinating to find out if educational outcomes improved and unusually high special Ed/delinquency rates dropped for those born after that?

We had a warning like this in Nebraska in 2019, and sadly, too many people didn’t believe it.

Iowa, like Nebraska, allows building in flood plains. Both states have seen repeat catastrophic flooding in the last 20-30 years. (PS this is true of every state. Developers love floodplains bc they are cheaper to build on)
