The health insurance program for Nevada workers is suffering from a “perfect storm” of problems that could lead to plan changes for thousands of people starting in July. Eric Neugeboren reports on how we got here, and what comes next: thenevadaindependent.com/article/some...

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

I mean we knew this was what was happening but it’s really nice to have proof for all the people saying we were just being dramatic or reading into things or making shit up 😒😒😒

Alternative math.

The Nevada Public Employees' Retirement System #NVPERS recently released the Actuarial Valuation for FY2025 (as of 6/30/2025) from its actuaries. It is the strongest report in years, perhaps decades. #NVLEG

NEW: The bill to expand Nevada's film tax credit program is officially dead after the Senate rejected it — and won't vote again on it. It means the state won’t be on the hook for $120M in annual tax credits, and it marks a loss for Gov. Joe Lombardo. thenevadaindependent.com/article/neva...

Musk’s $1 trillion pay package isn’t Nevada’s fault, but it symbolizes a lot of stuff that is nevadacurrent.com/2025/11/07/m...

“The anti-trans movement likes to cloak its transphobia & transmisogyny in a patently genocidal language of social contagion… The language of modern day transphobia is very similar to National Socialist views on homosexuality.” Transphobia is rooted in recycled homophobia. It belongs in the trash.

No surprise here

The first Reno Women’s March in Jan. 2017 was 10,000 strong - the largest protest Reno had seen. Today, our community nearly doubled that number for #NoKings. Northern Nevada is loud and clear that we will not tolerate hate and division. @50501nnv.bsky.social @renoactiongroup.bsky.social

90 in the rain for #NoKings in deep-red Parsons, Kansas, including my 100-year-old WWII Army Air Corps veteran father!

From a buddy: No Kings Rally in Reno Nevada today #NoKings #NoTyrants #NoFascists

Reno, NV, we love you ❤️ #NoKings @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org

BREAKING: WE WON!!! 💥 💥 💥 Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment. Full ruling here:

⬇️ NEWS: “This is a historic ruling that should have immediate implications for the Trump administration’s policies. If the First Amendment means anything, it means the government can’t imprison people simply because it disagrees with their political views." knightcolumbia.org/content/in-l...

“‘No law’ means ‘no law” glad to be a member of @aaup.org who today won a case that speaking out on behalf of the human rights of Palestinians is protected speech for all, not just citizens www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Aspiring Educators are on campus at the College of Southern Nevada this week, connecting with students and building momentum for a brand-new chapter in Southern Nevada. The future of our union is growing stronger every day! #UnionStrong

WE'RE MARCHING! In Saturday's Pride parade - 10AM in Midtown. Let's gather a HUGE COALITION OF ALLIES to send a LOUD message to elected officials, community and, most importantly, to our LGBTQIA+ community that we are committed to protecting their civil liberties and human rights.#nevadapride

Seemed appropriate today.

Nevada PERS investment performance for FY2025 as of 6/30/2025 was 10.6%, well above the actuarial assumed rate of 7.25%, but lagging from the 11.5% market benchmark due to underperformance of private real estate and private equity allocations. 1/

ICE is using an anonymous doxing blacklist (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_...) to target student protesters at American universities.

"When we began bargaining, the University of Maine System said they wanted to work together to improve conditions for graduate workers. Nearly two years later, I’m tired of platitudes and inaction." @uawregion9a.bsky.social www.bangordailynews.com/2025/07/09/o...

Public employees deserve the right to collectively bargain! Glad to see Utah fighting back. Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social hopes to see Nevada expand collective bargaining to #HigherEd faculty next session (we'll keep trying until we get rights!)

@aaup.org defends First Amendment rights. "the government conceded that noncitizens lawfully present in the United States have the same First Amendment rights as citizens. But it later walked back that concession, claiming that there are 'nuances'..." knightcolumbia.org/content/aaup...

“Tens of thousands have gathered for the Budapest Pride march, defying Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's legal threats against LGBTQ rights activists.” Solidarity with everyone marching at Budapest Pride today. It’s beautiful to see so many people resisting authoritarian politics. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I didn’t want the mayor to blow up the city like he mentioned many times; I just wanted him to fix the old bowling alley like he promised in passing once. Anyone saying I’m partially responsible for the explosions is just a sign that they have no argument.

It's time for Fiscal Note Reform in Nevada!

It's high time for electronic, secure, disconnected Blue Books.

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

#NvGov #NvLeg bill watch. Governor Joe "Veto" Lombardo has bested his own record, with 87 vetoes in 2025 versus 75 in 2023. 519 bills have been signed.

#AB188 got bipartisan support in the #NVLeg! Big win for state public employee retiree health care. No more cap on their HRA, studies to improve #PEBP! @nvfa.bsky.social

NFA's team in Carson City is working on a final push for our legislative priorities. Up first: AB 191 our collective bargaining bill!

Up next: Budget Bills! What are we fighting for? ✅ Campus Safety ✅ Funding for training nurses ✅ Caseload adjustment ✅ Fixing the underfunding of COLAs in 2023

Without COLAs for the next biennium, funding of salaries for #NSHE faculty will result in 19% less purchasing power of take-home in 2027 compared with 2009, after inflation and higher retirement deductions. #NVLeg

Nevada charter schools keep falling behind on retirement contributions, says PERS 👉 More on This Is Reno: http://dlvr.it/TKTPnb #thisisreno #renonews #reno #renonv #biggestlittlecity #sparksnv #localnews #renotahoe #travelnevada #journalism

Outrageous and simply unacceptable. These public charter schools have deducted pension contributions from employee’s paychecks but did not forward those amounts to PERS. It’s a disgrace. #NvLeg #NvPERS #SB418
