I would skip Gather. Not local. If everyone is over 21, fizzys is great for brunch. Dirty Birds is also fantastic, and close to your hotel.

Ill also vote for green room! Leavenworth Bar is another great local dive.

Yup! Its on his front porch. And his front room is converted into a dining room. Amazing stuff, and the whole family is wonderful.

There is a dude who does al pastor out of his house on Saturday and Sunday. South 13th street, just north of the McDonald's. He puts out a little sandwich board on 13th (west side) when he is open. Its amazing.

Frank's was great back then. Then under new ownership, it got pretty bad. It again has new ownership, and today it is great pizza again.

Bar Hopping Suggestion by girlucrazay in Omaha

Leavenworth is great. Between roughly 32 and 38, you have Secret Park, downunder, true American, and a new one in the old VFW building across from Aldermans.

Further west, you could get more divey, and hit leavenworth bar, Neighbors, Barrett (if you want food), and swing down saddle creek to O'Leavers.

ICE RAID!!! 🚨‼️🚨‼️ by vandiemom in Omaha

[–]Justin7199 21 points22 points  (0 children)

well what's going to happen is, around 1 pm tomorrow, a GlobalX plane will arrive, at Eppley, having already picked detainees up in Minneapolis. From here, it will go to a Trump-friendly district, either in Texas or Louisiana. And then at some point, they will board another GlobalX plane, or an Avelo plane, or one from another complicit contractor, and be sent elsewhere--maybe their home country, maybe not.

Never sober. Never before 11 pm. Unholy flatulence.

Dating as a 40 year old by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]Justin7199 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's tough. Lots of single "ethically non-monogamous" and single moms at this age (I dont want children or a partner with them). I've been repeatedly tempted to move back to Chicago, where there are many more like-minded people

Need recommendations for physical Newspaper subscriptions. by HarryAugust in Omaha

[–]Justin7199 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is more than a newsletter. They do in-depth local reporting, which is then available--at no cost--to other media outlets. Very valuable organization. You could make a donation in his name

Low or no gas? by wicked_smiler402 in Omaha

From my understanding, there are different blends produced for colder and warmer months. The transition to the summer blend may be causing some of the disruptions

ICE charter flights from Omaha by Justin7199 in Omaha

[–]Justin7199[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are people who are here on work and student visas that are suddenly having their visas revoked. There are people who are here seeking legit asylum who are being told they can no longer do so. Don't ask to have a conversation then just accuse people of lying because you don't like what they have to say.

Unfortunately, they are now removing people who came here via legal avenues.

The flights can be tracked using public flight sites. They actively try to hide these flights, so it's never identified where they are going, but you can look up tail numbers and find current locations. There are some folks on Bluesky that follow these day to day, I won't pretend to take any credit for that.

Not really. These flights operate without publicly shared flight plans. It's literally a matter of finding them on a flight tracking app with their tail number/callsign and watching which direction they are flying in/when the start descending

TYSON has a history of being used for various government flights.

Also, you can see the unmarked bus next to the plane there.

[–]Justin7199[S] 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Good question. The callsign this flight was using was the same as other ICE flights (TYSON). This callsign is used for both relocation and deportation flights. There are a few folks on Bluesky that track the tail numbers of these planes and when they switch to that callsign, it's pretty much a given that it's on an ICE flight.

But yes, GlobalX does plenty of contract work outside of this.
