Readings for March 2, 2023

• 📚🔫 Schools across Nebraska receiving ‘swatting’ calls about an active shooter - Wild country that will live in when a swatting call to a school is the good outcome.
• 🏳️‍🌈🏛️ Nebraska lawmaker continues push for LGBTQ nondiscrimination employment policy - “Jayden Speed, an 18-year-old high school student, said he is counting down the days to graduation while calculating whether Nebraska is the state to stay in.” IMO, it is not. As a resident, I’m stuck here watching Nebraska compete in the who-can-enshrine-bigotry-the-quickest race occurring across many red-dominated states’ governments. I’ve got a straight (unless I hear otherwise) son (unless I hear otherwise) about to graduate high school, and have told him there is nor real point to bringing his education back to the state unless this dangerous trend can be reversed. And will join him as soon as we can make it fiscally work out.
