Fellow Kansans, I know it may be tough for many of u to believe that our political races in 2026 are A) very competitive & B) Drawing national attention. We've been here before, haven't we? And then Bollier lost by double digits! Some competitive race that turned out to be! This time, it's different

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

We have three goals for the next No Kings Day on October 17: 1) Boosting vote turnout to the biggest it’s ever been for the midterms. 2) Getting our communities prepared to organize against election sabotage. 3) Creating a mandate for the reforms and accountability we want to see next year.

Oh: I really can’t emphasize enough how useful it is to check — literally right now, do it. Likely, it’s peace of mind in a couple of minutes. At worst, you still have time (barely) to remedy it.

I know yard signs don't vote, but we traveled all around Eastern KS today in mostly rural areas, & it was *shocking* how few signs we saw for Repubs & just how many we saw for Dems. Saw a lot of "no data center" signs, too.🤯🙏🏻🗳️🌊💙

On World Rabies Day, we want to share two important pieces of information: 1. Cats are NOT a major rabies threat. They rarely contract rabies, let alone transmit it to people, and cat-to-human rabies transmission is exceedingly unlikely. Community cats are safe members of our communities.

Someone already mentioned Zach Maier for Kansas House 39 and he's wonderful and I hope he wins. On top of that, I'd wet can flip 5 seats, we break the super majority and that would be a great start to resetting Kansas legislature.

Zach Maier for district 39 in the Kansas State house is another race that deserves waaaaaaaaaay more attention. He is likely to kick out a bigoted republican out of a seat (that she walked into on that bigotry) that was last won with only ~400 votes… as a gay man with a family. zachforkansas.com

There is no centralized data on penalties for campus sexual assault. But the last time I checked schools that posted complaint outcomes, reflection papers were the most common penalty (followed by a 1 semester suspension). The resolution of the Cornell case is not an outlier.

I learned this week that the New York Times was founded 175 years ago. There is a useful set of pieces floating around on this for journalism history buffs. But what struck me is that means the Times was founded 25 years *after* the black press which will celebrate its 200th birthday in a few months

You're watching a sand bubbler crab hard at work. And bubbler crabs have one job: make balls. Lots of balls. With your mouth parts. They're filter-feeders/detrivores, combing through damp sand for microscopic food & the balls let them organize the "cleaned" sand so they don't nom it twice.

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”
