Conversion therapy is NOT THERAPY. It is not recognized therapeutic or ethical by the APA or the ACA.

Defending conversion therapy is like defending the prescription of heroin for a cough. That was done at one time, but we know better now. Govt regulates the medical industry to keep ppl safe. This is no different than any other modern regulations to protect consumers & patients.

Nobody needs the abusive and debunked “treatment” known as conversion therapy—and LGBTQ+ youth need to know they are loved and accepted as they are. As long as I’m in the legislature I’ll be working to ban it in Nebraska.

No reputable medical or psychological association supports conversion therapy. Being LGBTQ+ is not an illness, and we don’t need to be cured. We have been working to ban conversion therapy in Nebraska since 2019. With my LB 367, we could be next to ban this inhumane practice.

The Supreme Court is poised to overturn 32 state bans on conversion therapy and explicitly legalize the abusive and torturous process. They don't care how many LGBTQ people this traumatizes and kills. www.cnn.com/2025/10/06/p...

Media training has gone too far for some of these candidates for office—we can tell when candidates are speaking to donors and not to voters. No more memorized talking points that actually say nothing! We want proof that our leaders can recognize a genocide when they see one.

It’s disappointing but not surprising that Sen. Bosn denied our request for a public hearing on the Governor’s plan to hand over a Nebraska prison to ICE. These are not questions that can be answered behind closed doors or in private conversations.

Omaha Sen. Megan Hunt and Democratic lawmakers are urging a hearing to investigate Gov. Jim Pillen's agreement to bring ICE facility to Nebraska.

Nebraska prisons are overcrowded and understaffed, and instead of fixing it, the Governor wants to hand one over to ICE. We’ve called for a Judiciary Committee hearing because the people deserve to know: Who will be held there? Under what authority? At what cost?

ICE LETTER: Thirteen Nebraska lawmakers called on the chair of the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee to host a public hearing into state plans to morph a prison into a state-run federal immigration detention center. From Zach Wendling: buff.ly/CIGLLv4

Governor Pillen wants to hand Nebraska’s Work Ethic Camp in McCook over to ICE without legislative approval, public input, or transparency. This raises not just ethical concerns, but serious legal, fiscal, and safety questions. My colleagues and I are calling for answers.🧵

NEW: The US government has added the DNA of approximately 133,000 migrant children and teens to a criminal database, which critics say could mean police treat them like suspects “indefinitely.”

Let people move around in the world It is good for us all when people can live where they want to live Making a home somewhere new is already difficult enough Borders do not matter and are not a big deal All people have the right to seek safety That’s it!

Yeah

What I don’t see people remarking about is the marching discipline “What is this, North Korea?” Well in NK they would not be marching that way

I want to thank @meganhunt.bsky.social who passed a bill this session to ensure candidates and elected officials could us a PO Box on campaign fillings instead of their home addresses. Here is a security guide also for elected officials and public figures: statesunited.org/resources/ke...

Marines did not enlist and were not trained to be used as Trump’s personal domestic gestapo. If your mission is to terrorize and intimidate civilians, your orders are unlawful, and your duty is to refuse them. Marines swore an oath to defend the Constitution, and now’s the time.

This recent piece by M. Gessen is on my mind a lot. What we’re living through isn’t a pendulum swing, it’s a systemic realignment. Every day they push the line further and every day we’re told it’s too dramatic to call it what it is. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/o...

✅LB275, @meganhunt.bsky.social priority bill to protect foster youth’s access to their social security benefits, was signed into law this week! This policy will have a huge impact on young people throughout the state!

Fuck ICE and anyone who helps them Always be ready to stand between an ICE gestapo thug and their target. And business owners, know your rights and never let ICE in no matter what: www.nilc.org/wp-content/u...

That’s a wrap on the first session of the 109th legislature! Thank you to my staff for running our office, helping constituents, researching and working our bills, and to and family for sharing me with you. Recap coming soon. ✨ #NELeg

This bill will also give back almost $1 million more per year in benefits owed to foster youth so that they can adequately prepare for their futures. Thank you to @meganhunt.bsky.social for introducing and prioritizing LB275!

LB275 will provide more transparency, opportunities for engagement, and access to benefits for young people in foster care receiving social security benefits – ensuring that foster youth receive the support and resources their rights entitle them to.

I got the idea for this bill from a story I heard on NPR during my commute four years ago. With the Governor’s signature, foster youth in Nebraska will be able to keep more of their own Social Security benefits—instead of the state taking that money to pay for their care. #NELeg

We just told a group of Nebraska kids that who they are makes them unworthy of playing sports with their friends. This isn’t about fairness—it’s about fear. I’ll never stop fighting for trans youth in this state. You belong. You always have. 🏳️‍⚧️ #NELeg youtu.be/YuXHy5W4sfY?...

Grateful to my colleagues for backing my amendment to stop LifeWise, a Christian nationalist corporation, from pulling kids out of public school for religious instruction during the school day. Nebraska kids deserve education, not indoctrination. nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news...

We have a govt that’s engaged in human trafficking, that’s openly allowing a gulf petrostate to bribe its leadership, that’s reshaping the refugee program in overtly racist terms, that’s almost ended American foreign aid entirely, that’s doing its level best to crash the economy from the rose garden

From @samanthawrites.net As Nebraska state Sen. @meganhunt.bsky.social said "We are speaking to the future"

We need to understand this as a victory against trans hate and discrimination — it’s what otherwise moderate Mayor Jean Stothert made the entire end of her campaign about. Regular Americans don’t react to or receive the call to trans panic. Enough. We are speaking to the future.

Republican mayor of Omaha Nebraska, who campaigned heavily on anti-trans bathroom bullshit, going down in flames you love to see it

“People can’t hear your argument when you use insults” well breaking news, they don’t hear me when I’m nice either

Because I think people can find it if they want to read it, so I didn’t worry about it that much. Here you go! journalstar.com/news/state-r...

Now that’s a headline @journalstar.com

🎉LB275 has advanced to Final Reading in the #NELeg! Thank you to @meganhunt.bsky.social for prioritizing this bill that would provide more transparency, opportunities for engagement, and access to benefits for young people in foster care receiving social security benefits.

Thank you so much to Midlands Business Journal for including me in your 50th anniversary Fab 50 series! I learned so much about myself from this article!!! www.mbj.com/featured/it-...

STATE WARDS: State Sen. Megan Hunt continues efforts to help youths in foster care maintain access to owed Social Security benefits. From Juan Salinas II

"Who are you to say that your discomfort is worth more than someone else's dignity?"

Honestly yelling at the Legislature from the balcony should be legal, it’s not actually that disruptive and it doesn’t bother me at all

Megan is doing the work for the Cornhusker State. Along with some great others, one of whom earned a criminal citation for speaking up against this today. #GBR

Today we took up a bill to ban trans people from bathrooms and prevent them from playing sports. Pope Francis welcomed trans people to the Vatican, and recognized their dignity. If he can do that, what’s stopping us? Discomfort is not a license to legislate cruelty. #NELeg

“State senators are more dangerous than their classmates are” Everyone should take a moment to watch Megan Hunt speak truth to power.

🥰❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️🥰

Good morning from your Nebraska Legislature! We are scheduled to begin the first round of debate on LB89, a bathroom and sports ban, at 3pm today. Tune in, and urge your senator to oppose it. This bill makes no one safer. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

i am very confused by why no dems are talking about this

I didn’t approach the news about this at all – I spoke about the tariff bills my shop received during a speech about a bill that affected small biz and then they reached out and asked me to share more. In this time of political instability, it’s more important than ever to support small local biz!

They start with an interview in Shop Five Nine, @meganhunt.bsky.social 's store. She's one of the progressive lights in this state, and an outspoken opponent of the maladministration's nonsense.

Still utter silence from art supply vloggers and influencers (many of whom have become infomercials for drop-shipped off-brand supplies from China) on tariffs but local news stations are covering the impact: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpPU...
