They changed the rules after the game started. Lindsay Garcia said: people have already voted. That should be the end of the conversation. No speech. Just the true thing, said plainly. That's the whole code. open.substack.com/pub/joadt/p/...

Of voting Republican for like 30 years! This story just makes me insane. In Lenexa, Melanie Arroyo had to show her papers. In Coldwater, he's starting his second term as Mayor. Until he's not. Which is now. Because he's being deported, of course.

Imagine that. We can balance budgets and make the rich pay their fair share. And, by "can," I mean "should."

KANSAS LEGISLATURE JUST STOP. GO HOME. YOU ARE DRUNK. I AM SO MAD YOU GUYS. kansasreflector.com/2026/05/13/d...

OMG this story. "I feel so vulnerable now."? ! !

100% this. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 Although I usually apply the peanut butter first, not jam. But to each her own.

LOL It's the hysterical NY Post with an unbelievably dishonest article accusing Mamdani of having a budget? Like, bros, u get that he is, like, required by law to put that into the public domain, yes? Budgets are budgets, NYPost. Thzey aren't meant to be private. nypost.com/2026/05/12/o...

I'm just a person going thru my 10th? 15th? gas shortage. I know y'all think transit is beneath you, but I'm telling you you aren't. We'd all be living better lives if you demanded better transit from politicians instead of fixing potholes and cheap gas

Let’s have a good week. Talk with people, do something kind for someone(s), make something, write something, give yourself a little treat. Do something you’ve been putting off that shouldn’t take long, say nice things to yourself, look at a sunset or sunrise, compliment someone. You deserve it.

How come whenever someone fails to kill the president, the whole conservative establishment blames us for correctly labeling him a fascist, but when trans women are murdered there isn’t a single call to “tone down the rhetoric?”

Hey, hey! Way to go, Gardner! These data center proposals might just spawn a new generation of community activists! www.kcur.org/housing-deve...

What do we think the odds are that roughly half of Kansas Republican legislators would vote to end Citizens United? Not great, eh? Sigh. Then I guess we better get to work b/c Citizens United needs to end, now. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/hawaii-jus...

Oh God, please. Please, baby Jesus, I have been a good boy this year, despite all the sh*t you keep throwing at me. Run, AOC, run!

The thing very wealthy people need to understand is that paying more in taxes is better than facing a crowd of people with pitchforks

Imma need billionaires to read the room. LOL jk. We know they can't do that because it would require a speck of self-awareness. jacobin.com/2026/05/taxe...

this is also one of my hobbyhorses. you want a better caliber of lawmaker? you want to reduce the odds of corruption? pay them more. a lot more.

KS GOP: We did that long ago, Ha-HA! kansasreflector.com/2026/05/07/r...

At this point we really should just split California into 52 blue states in subnational union, rewrite the constitution, become a normal MMP parliamentary democracy, outlaw the Republican Party, nationalize every one of Elon Musk’s companies, and move on with our lives.

I read that as "late-decade Confederate redistricting" and ... prove me wrong.

You guys, I am gonna need to call upon you to stay with me on this. Just hear me out. Arkansas River Float Trip- Great Bend, KS to the OK border via Hutch & Witchita. I know, I know! Now is not the time, you bray, to dream of vacations. Bro, I need this, tho. Allow it. Let me savor it.

I just came on the machine to ask: Where are the borders of Missouri's 5th Congressional District exactly?

Ok, so he can do that. You gotta admit that's pretty good tho. Keep going, Pastor...

I've been saying we need a progressive DOGE that actually focuses on making government work well rather than undermining it. But we need a better name. So how about DOPE: the Department of Public Excellence.

We must understand the nature of the assault. Fascism is a virus. It is uniquely suited to infect the system of a very specific host: Democracies. /1

Kansans are Northerners, but also the quintessential Midwesterners. I will not be taking questions at this time.

The future of the Democratic project should aim to win urban and suburban locales—particularly those places throughout the country where they don't put up huge margins—like Republicans win rural and exurban locales

Thank you, Dear Internet, for always bringing me a silver lining. 🙏🏼

Pssst, you guys. Kansas Citians... I have a plan for some good trouble on transit. What if... what if we make our government run all of these bus lines all the time going forward, not just for the World Cup? www.kcur.org/housing-deve...

This, but actually this. Warp the CA property market from the 1970's into the future at lightspeed. Or at least unshackle it. It's OK & normal & good to downsize sometimes, people. Trust. You'll actually like it better. Free up those big houses for big families again.

I am so excited because I get to see the allergist today! Shut up, these things are exciting when you are old. No but for reals, if anyone out there has EoE, man (& it's overwhelmingly men, white men, specifically, actually), I feel your pain, bro. It *SUCKS* so much. Allergist can help fix it!

Well this is interesting. Pastor Hamilton is going to be running as a Democrat. In a crowded field, he probably has what it takes to stand out. And he's gonna be awfully hard to pigeon-hole as a left-winger, tho Republicans will certainly try. kansasreflector.com/2026/04/30/k...

I'll tell a lil story about Phil Anschutz because he's a feature in this year's worker led May Day efforts. When my dad became Dean of Librarians at the University of Kansas in 1988, the university had just announced a 6 million $ gift to support library collections.
