The Kansas Flint Hills

Such bike lane disrespect

It’s amazing that given tariffs, Epstein, Iraq, corruption, violating court orders, etc that 1/2 of congress has looked at the dramatic blue wave and thought “yeah, I’m going down on this ship”

We're at war with Iran And Ecuador The DOJ is hiding information about POTUS's involvement with a sexual predator The DOJ has killed American protestors & consistently violated the constitution re: immigration POTUS has threatened to invade NATO allies For Congress, when is it enough to act?

Kansas City Lights

8 of our 12 gold medals this year were won by women - but they are cheering for the men at the SOTU. And that’s what you need to know about this presidency

If nothing else good comes from the Epstein saga and last 9 years of politics, we can at least lay to rest any notion that just because someone is rich or in a position of power doesn't make them smart or a good person.

Dogs are awesome

The top 5 dogs of the week is always a great way to end the week -- this week shows the best and the worst of us.

Starting to see signs pop up around the area

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

I'm saddened that the people of Minneapolis are having to endure our national struggles in their city (again), but also in awe of the people in Minneapolis are leading the fight against autocracy. I hope the rest of us are as ready when our time comes.

Yes. Shumer & Jeffries are not up for this moment

Shut it all down. Own the shutdown. Make sure once agent gets paid. Track who funds them anyway.

It’s not enough that we are protesting our government leadership stateside. Denmark is protesting us too

"Over time, American cities have made a quiet tradeoff: In the name of safety, efficiency, and liability management, they have narrowed the conditions under which play is allowed to happen." Great read from @strongtowns.org www.strongtowns.org/journal/2026...

Tonight’s sunset was fire

Important and informative article. And a frightening time this is a consideration we must take to protect ourselves from our own government.

Watching the news this week and dry January are inconguent

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

Wow Kansas City. Nothing like a 60 degree January day while everyone is still vowing to exercise more for the new year. Covid-era volume of walking going on out there. All the neighborhood dogs should sleep well tonight

Dogs really are the best.

I'm not sure struggling to remember my password is giving me confidence to start the work week.

I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 20 years, and so much has changed. But I’m still struggling to get used to hearing screams and it’s just children playing and not someone in distress

I could choose the exorcist or the Godfather and, well, yeah

This all feels like a corporate/state shell game where corporations keep getting incentives to jump back and forth across the state line while ordinary citizens pick up the tax bill for everything.

I get so frustrated when Kansas City refuses to save historic buildings because they are “unsalable”. Yet, other cities go to great lengths to save them. These two buildings were essentially razed, yet their historic facades remain. It’s possible if there is the will to do so

Free business idea: a candy wrapper that doesn’t make the annoying crinkling sound in public spaces. Please and thank you

This should be a complete no-brainer. Both parties accuse the other of insider trading and making laws to enrich themselves. Both have the power to fix it, but thus far have chosen not to.

Powerful

I sure am glad people are finally catering toward KC’s business elite www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/n...

Solid

Post hike beer. With @kcbierco.bsky.social

Forget Buccees. More gas stations that look like this please

No Kings in Topeka, KS. Not sure of official crowd estimates but I’d guess 2500. @indivisible.org

Hey, look America. It is possible to build cool new neighborhood. Nice job OKC

I’ll never understand the mentality that someone thinks this is ok

Now he’s coming for the museums so he can raid them for gifts to earn himself personal favor

Going after those criminals and gang members amIright?

Kansas City must do better at preserving historic buildings and building that give older neighborhoods their character before everything is just empty lots or nondescript 5 over 1s www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/n...

I will simultaneously acknowledge that the Gillham Bike Lane is both the best protected bike lane in the city and the most disappointing -- because this is actually very feasibly along most of it.

Summers are for river hiking. No ticks. No poison ivy. Cool we’re on your feet. Just keep an eye out for snakes though

The Flint Hills Trail has become the newest Rails to Trails Hall of Fame Award Winner for good reason

It would be amazing if at least a few Republican Senators found their backbone and stood up to Putin. Maybe the backbone discovery would help them standup to Trump also

This is actually astonishing. Grateful for the KC biking community for all of the amazing trail systems in Kansas City - many of which have been around for a decade or more

As ridiculous as this headline seems, Missouri's governor continues to do this to Kansas City's police

42% of Texas voters in 2024 voted for Democrats. But the state's republicans are trying to make 79% of the state's representatives be Republicans - not by instituting popular policies. They know their policies are garbage. But by gerrymandering votes.
