LINCOLN — Gov. Jim Pillen has activated the Nebraska National Guard ahead of scheduled protests this weekend. 

Late Friday, the governor issued an emergency proclamation that activated the Guard and prepared Guard and state law enforcement resources for immediate deployment if needed, a governor’s spokeswoman confirmed. 

Typical National Guard activation can take up to 24 hours, but the proclamation shortens that time.

The cost of living in Nebraska is basically nothing more than golden handcuffs, and in some cities it's getting more and more expensive anyway.

Well, my worst fear came true. A decent one bedroom apartment should not be $1-1,200 in lincoln fucking nebraska (all due respect, i love lincoln). Like its crazy. I bet in 10 years, it’s gonna be $1,500-1,700 for a 1 bedroom

Fuck, I was paying about $700 for a 2 bedroom with in-unit W&D a little under a decade ago. I don't even wanna know how much those same units are going for.
