Just when you thought it was going to be business as usual for the Labor Day weekend and the first football game of the season, along comes Judy King to save us from ennui and the patriarchy. You see, our hero Judy was at the stadium today to enjoy some football and fresh air with […]

Today corrupt prison official Scott Frakes announced that another one of Pete Ricketts’s bad ideas will be taking over at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution. This new bad idea, warden Todd Wasmer, looks to be a perfect sadistic Moe to the fascist Larry and Curly of Frakes and Ricketts. The most alarming thing about this […]

Misogyny is not a game
On the same day as the Lie to Women bill LB 209 was passed to its final reading, we once more got to enjoy another open display of in how much, or rather little, regard some of our male senators hold women in general and their female colleagues in particular. It is not enough to […]
This Tuesday the Legislature will debate Senator Joni Albrecht’s LB 209, which she says is a “pro-woman, pro-information, pro-life, and pro-choice bill that will benefit all women who, after beginning the abortion pill process, want a second chance at choice.” What a bunch of bullshit.

Well, Governor Do-You-Know-Who-My-Daddy-Is is at it again. When I returned to Nebraska from the failed experiment of living in Texas for a few years, I took one look around and realized the state I returned to was not the same state I left. In Texas I had Rick Perry to deal with, but even that […]
Well, the good news is, we avoided voting in an unrepentant homophobe as our next Mayor. The bad news is, we still have a Cyndi Lamm problem. Last week, we at Seeing Red received an email from a mother who needs to work with the Autism Family Network to get a Project Lifesaver bracelet for […]
Sadly it comes as no surprise to most of us that rape culture is still alive and well in Nebraska. Survivors of sexual assault at UNL will no longer be silenced or ignored and they are speaking out with a new website and flyers everywhere from a group of warrior survivors at Dear UNL https://www.dearunl.com/ […]
Though we don’t know exactly when, the big day for LB670, the “Opportunities Scholars Act”, is coming soon. In what might perhaps be the best amendment troll of this legislative session, Senator Kolowski is seeking to strike the word “opportunity” from the whole document and replace it with the words “private school.” Why? Because it […]
If you are not familiar with the 14 Characteristics of Fascism, I’m going to need you to stop right here and read them first. Ok, got that? Don’t worry, we’re going to look at a few of them a little more closely because the NEGOP has a deep fascism problem that everyone, including the Nebraska […]
A few weeks ago, Seeing Red Nebraska sent out a candidate questionnaire to local Mayoral and City Council candidates. Below are the answers we received from the candidates who responded. Thank you, Jeff Kirkpatrick (running for Mayor) and Cassey Lottman (running for City Council in District 4)! Answers from Jeff Kirkpatrick, candidate for Mayor: I. […]
