Election spending in Nebraska initially made waves during the primaries, when Pete Ricketts decided he really didn’t want bull-spunk connoisseur Charles Herbster as the next governor (and I can’t blame him), and spent an eye-watering $1.375 million to get Pillen the nomination. He didn’t send that money to Jim himself though – only $100,000 was […]
So far this year, there have been at least two large gatherings of rightwing extremists in Nebraska (that we are aware of). The first was a successful “Meet the Candidates” event sponsored by the NEGOP and Protect Nebraska Children featuring antisemitic Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec, and the second was a decidedly unsuccessful “Take Back […]
An overview of the campaign to build the country’s largest police training center by bulldozing the country’s largest urban forest; and why it must be fought against not only in Atlanta but here in Nebraska, and everywhere. By Illegible Distro What is Cop City? The city of Atlanta, Georgia has more tree canopy than any […]
Excessive vanity can be problematic. People leave traces on social media because they can’t help themselves. They are addicted to exposure, they cannot see themselves a single day without sharing on social media whatever they are doing.

But did you know the NEGOP sponsored another event starring the same antisemitic Pizzagate conspiracy theorist in Western Nebraska on April 8th? Did you know that at least three gubernatorial candidates and the elusive […]
We at Seeing Red were hardly through our morning coffee before we learned of an event being hosted tomorrow at Creighton University and billed as the “Take Back Nebraska Summit ’22.” Our interest was piqued immediately because there was something about a cocktail reception. Unfortunately, cocktails will not be strong enough to recover from the […]
It should come as no surprise to regular readers, or hell, anyone who hasn’t had their head stuck in the sand for the last two years that a bunch of really terrible people are trying to take over our public schools. We have reported on the extremist, Kirk Penner, that was recently appointed to the […]
Ricketts announced that he’s appointing conspiracy-theory loving anti-vaxxer (and anti- everything, really) Kirk Penner of Aurora to the State Board of Education vacancy for district 5. Some of Penner’s not yet deleted tweets are below. This is the kind of person who is going to be making decisions about the education of kids in this […]
The data has been clear for some time that cops in schools do not make children safer; particularly children of color, autistic and disabled children, and LGBTQIA+ children.
