Fascist Family Histories: Lisa Pitts
One of the words we see come up time and again when discussing immigration is “illegals.” This is a word used to dehumanize the people who cross borders into other countries without going through the lawfully recognized process to do so. The people who use this word paint themselves as holding the law above all…
Acts of Resistance: Building Community
We want to reflect for a moment on the outcome of last night’s Metropolitan Community College Board of Governors meeting, their vote to censure Adam Gotschell for his remarks, and the Board of Governors’ unanimous request that he resign. While he refused to resign (and we don’t expect him to do so voluntarily), he did…
Adam Gotschall of Metropolitan Community College calls for violence against women
Adam T. Gotschall of Bennington, Nebraska is calling for sexual violence against women for no other reason than their disagreement with his “bold conservatism.” Adam Gotschall was elected to the Metropolitan Community College Board of Governors in 2020 and won re-election in 2024. He is already an outspoken MAGA and proponent of white power, defender…

Acts of Resistance: Safe Spaces
For longer than you may realize, many groups of people have had to think about, discuss and assess safe spaces. These groups generally include women, LGBTQIA folks, and people of color. We have to always be careful of where we are, who is around us, and on high alert for harm we might suffer because…
Nebraska. Honestly, it’s not for everyone.
Despite leading fascists like governor Jim Pillen, Kathleen Kauth, and every Republican in the Nebraska legislature going out of their way to harm children, women, cancer patients and those with chronic illness, and low-income tenants – to try to deprive them of their rights – they can’t stop you from fighting back.

Bellevue Public School Board Votes to Marginalize Transgender Students
In yet another display of cowardice that we have come to expect from corporations and educational institutions in the Trump administration, the Bellevue Public School Board voted against the equal treatment and rights of transgender students.
