LINCOLN, Neb. (Nebraska Examiner) - Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen downplayed the mandate of ballot measures in Nebraska as he asked lawmakers to debate a budget proposal to divert public dollars to help cover some costs of attending private schools. Pillen said he is “guilty” of not studying ballot measures before voting, which he estimates is “pretty normal.” He thinks 90% of Nebraska voters are like him and show up to vote without having fully studied the issues ahead of time. “I believe the ballot initiative process today does not represent the people speaking,” Pillen said in a Feb. 5 interview with the Nebraska Examiner. He continued, “Somebody has enough money, you can pass anything because you buy the signatures. Buy the signatures and you get it on the ballot. Something gets on the ballot, very rarely does ‘Nebraska Nice’ say, ‘No.’ It’s fascinating.”
when i walk into my voting both i get scared because i don't even know how i got there or what a ballot is, and that's when the screaming starts. that's why I'm proud to have governor pillan represent me!
With everything going on, it feels a little pointless for my union to impanel a government affairs committee and conduct State-level candidate endorsement interviews. But each time we meet, I feel better about it.

Speaking of the late great Agnès Varda (motto: “all you need in life is a computer, a camera, and a cat”), here’s one of her photos from the early 1950s, tempting fate with a black cat almost walking under a ladder. Possibly taken on Friday the 13th? #Caturday
Opening: The Bangles, "In Your Room" (Everything, 1988). Closing: Sloppy Jane, "Claw Machine" featuring Phoebe Bridgers (I Saw the TV Glow OST, 2024)

The USL players deserve professional standards for their professional talent, and it’s time for the USL to deliver.
The players are ready to strike and fight for what they deserve. USL: do the right thing and bargain for a fair contract now.
Look the US is also a violently misogynistic and corrupt regime but if the world’s preferred solution to that was to bomb our pre-schools I think most Americans would object
