I especially enjoyed the Politics of Debt discussion. So much of our society is shaped by debt: housing, healthcare, education, municipal services, etc. To talk openly about it, and how to address it, gets political. I thought this observation from Yotam Moram was particularly good.

Really appreciated the wisdom of the @socialismconference.org this weekend. I dropped in Saturday to hear from @sarahljaffe.bsky.social, @chenjerai.bsky.social, and a host of others.

And Kansas went blue shortly after. We may have forgotten the lesson, but will we find a similar way out again?

x.com/QuintonLucas... Not going to comment on X. But worth noting that the original post is lazy, in that assumes the worst of what is arguably a very good project. This was a dead site w/ an abandoned building covered in pigeon excrement. I know because I walked it ten years ago.

Do you know if KCATA organizes a Wyandotte County rider group?

Pastor Cedric Rowan, closing the night: - first part of healing is being able to talk - I wrestled with hosting this meeting - have to be aware of who I serve and who I don’t serve - this community needs healing - we all have a story, and a past - say to your neighbor “we can do this together”

(Continued) - they transferred her at 3rd & Greeley, put a gun against her head, and threatened her - Jack Reardon said “that’s your side of the story” and she saved money to sue - if they had listened to me then none of this would’ve happened

KS. Sen. Holscher: - We can’t get footage of police. It won’t be shared. Legislation there can help - injustice because elections have consequences. Golubski had a network that let him be on house arrest - last Sunday was a punch in the stomach for those seeking justice

Niko (cont.) - Golubski raped her, & stalked her for decades, across all of KC area - He’s not the only one - Tara shouldn’t be protected. They took my dreams. Instead we had PTSD - “What are we going to do, Senator?” directed at Haley - we need to walk down to (city hall). Can’t be scared

@peggylowe.bsky.social added context. Wiley, a friend, adds more context on why this is emotional: - when you get old, you cry a lot - Black women impacted aren’t victims, they’re heroes - I was upset. This is stuff that happened back in the slave days - this is the beginning

Matt Kleinmann @matt-kleinmann.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Ophelia Williams, in a very emotional statement: - she is a Golubski victim - has two twin sons in 40s that have been in jail since age 14 (emotional moment) - was prepared to testify - doesn’t believe Golubski killed himself. Body wasn’t shown. Everything a secret - is scared. What can she do?

KS Sen. Cindy Holscher: - this session is short and fast. People should have reasonable expectations - reach out to legislators NOW that the bill is coming up, and you’d appreciate their support - when possible, testify. They won’t ask victims to be retraumatized. But it makes a difference

Question from the Khadijah Hardaway, another member of the Justice for #Wyandotte: - a truth and reconciliation commission would allow those most harmed to rehash their trauma, while those responsible get immunity to tell their story. A “torture commission”

Matt Kleinmann @matt-kleinmann.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Haley: - introduced one bill (Senate Bill 186) to allow courts to find someone misused their authority - another bill (SB 187) would allow people to bring civil actions - KS Senator Cindy Holscher in the room as well, who have passed a restitution law ($65/yr for each wrongful year imprisoned)

KS Senator David Haley joined the event 30 minutes in as a panelist: - there’s a history of this, with a case back from the 80’s - it’s systemic, that [police] feel comfortable

Matt Kleinmann @matt-kleinmann.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Joann Cass (?), (another panelist): - we need a truth and reconciliation committee.

Nikki Richardson from #JusticeForWyandotte: - there’s two issues: wrongful conviction and violence against women. - the sexual harassment of women was overlooked. It compounded the generational trauma - they’re connecting people to legal resources. It’s traumatic - distrusts breeds upon trauma

Matt Kleinmann @matt-kleinmann.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Starting with @peggylowe.bsky.social’s comments: - is he really gone? - what secrets did he take to the grave? - did he actually take his own life? - this is a trust issue. - “show me the body” is commonly shared - needs to be a lot of healing - dozens of women with PTSD - many wrongful convictions
