Good Skews: Chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party, Jane Kleeb May 21, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of Good Skews, we interview Jane Kleeb, a seasoned grassroots organizer, author, manager, and political strategist in the Great Plains.

Since December 2016, Kleeb has held the position of Chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party, and she is currently serving her fourth term, which extends until November 2026. She also holds the role of Chair of the Association of State Democratic Committees.

Her leadership has fostered the creation of innovative programs such as Block Captains, 93-County Voter Guides, and the Candidates of Color Fund. She is the longest-serving Chair in the history of the Nebraska Democratic Party.

Our conversation delves into the recent surprising upset in Omaha’s mayoral election, where longtime Republican incumbent Jean Stothert was defeated with 56–44 percent of the vote. Ewing’s victory marks a historic moment as he becomes the first Black mayor of Omaha and represents a strong rejection of anti-transgender campaign tactics.

S5 Ep263: Weekly Skews – Boer’d to Death May 21, 2025

Show notes

A new(ish) internet cult announces itself with a bombing in Palm Springs, leaving the FBI to google “what is internet.” A senator fantasizes about cruising in truckstop men’s rooms with oil-rich sheiks. And America’s “whites preferable” refugee program goes into effect, which leads somehow to Elon making Jar-Jar Binks racist by accident. I know I know, we’ll (try to) make it make sense. Join us.

Show notes

We’re getting more drunks in DC. ICE does an oopsie and kidnaps a mayor. The Trump administration tries to satisfy QAnon with facts and logic, and it’s going great, and the Big Guy preemptively steals the new Air Force One that has Qatari secret police hiding in the bathrooms.

S5 Ep263: Weekly Skews – 5/06/25 – We’re Bringing Back Company Towns, but as Cults May 07, 2025

Show notes

Happy Skews Day. Companies say screw it and start reporting bribes as business expenses. The government is doing Abbottabad Raids on college kids who hang fliers. Canada votes “Death to Amérique, eh.” And Elon truly innovates, combining his new company town with a cult. Well, one of his cults.

Show notes

Howdy. A.I. did what to John Cena now? Neil Gorsuch is mad at gay cartoon dogs. Chuck Schumer is mad at an imaginary past. Then we get into the Deep State’s effort to take down Pete Hegseth by tattling.

Weekly Skews – 4/22/25 – Everyone is MS-13 (Except for MS-13, Who We Made a Deal With) Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

We talk about Mexican sex ghosts and the government’s plan to stop immigration with an AI apparently trained on Blaxploitation movies. Then, the government’s continuing cartoonish efforts to make one guy into a supervillain because then we can scrap the concept of rights. I mean who you gonna trust? A guy whose knuckle tats we photoshopped, or a cop who got fired for driving drunk into someone’s house?

Show notes

We’re sorry, but you have to die in the gulag because the White House beat the Supreme Court at Boggle. Tariffs are so confusing that Gretchen Whitmer is playing peekaboo in the Oval Office. Then, we talk about RFK Jr.’s big plan for the measles outbreak in Texas. It’s one page titled: “Make it Worse.”

S5 Ep261: Weekly Skews – 4/8/25 – Trade Deficit Disorder Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

Today, Trump’s trying Super Brexit, apparently because he lost a piano auction to a Japanese guy in 1988 (not kiddin’). We’re talking tariffs that the White House can’t agree on why they’re doing them, apparently formulated by ChatGPT (really not kiddin’). And how we need to fix the trade deficit by making the people of Myanmar buy Cadillacs. It’s a lot, and of course there’s a nepo baby Soundcloud rapper involved. Join us.

S5 Ep261: Weekly Skews – 4/1/25 – First Let’s Cow All the Lawyers Apr 02, 2025

Show notes

Today we have an official attack on the civil rights of imaginary teen furries. There’s elections Tuesday, which means of course there’s a guy who’s pro sexy dances for autistic children, and Elon’s doing double corrupt fraud in Wisconsin. Plus, we discuss how law firms will make money after announcing laws aren’t real. (It’s by funneling bribes for a guy who sold engineless trucks.)
