This is a joke, but I have literally heard this kind of thing happen in so many city council and zoning meetings that I have laughed out loud at city council members. #ifimnotlaughingimcrying

The recent history of the Klan in the state of Kansas always makes me wonder about what they will right about today's racist activities.

We need to show support for Kansas City, Missouri, the contract needs more funding to support our current level of service, and we need to expand that service, not cut bus lines

What is up with KCMO and the KCATA's lack of transit leadership. My experiences at KCATA meetings has been worse than disappointing, it has been exhausting seeing the "committee committee" try to address a contract that does not fund itself. This is embarrassing, and I want better for us

News about the vandalization of the trans house in Topeka, going off of what the news article was saying, it does not look targeted toward the queer community, just a standoff happened to take place here because the fugitive from OKC knew that the house was empty

Time to promote satanism at the workplace, I am appalled at the obvious White Christian Nationalists that occupy the executive branch of our government - separate the church and state

To whom it may concern,

	A directive coming from the state of Kansas to rid all universities of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has come to effect, and I could not be more distraught. I am perplexed as to the advantages a university would have dismantling an established and proven program for student recruitment, safety, and retention. This directive will put Kansas students at higher risk of issues that will lead to lower enrollment. 

	I am calling on Republican legislatures to repeal this directive, and to establish diversity, equity, and inclusion as a supportive part of university faculty and student resources. By forcing universities to keep some programs, and scrap other programs that donโ€™t align with national conservative established lobbyist groupsโ€™ goals, we are letting the government run through our public and private education systems with the same systemic issues that the national government perpetuates. National partisan politics donโ€™t belong on Kansas university campuses. Here in Kansas, we value what our local universities have to say about their own programs. By having the government overreach in this way, it has a slippery slope to other programs they want to bring and get rid of as dictated by what people outside of Kansas want us to do. 

	Let the universities decide what is best for the students. The universities are responsible for educating Kansans and preparing Kansans for the workforce, not implementing one-sided politics into the education sphere. Universities in Kansas are the most diverse places in Kansas. It is where you will find students from across the globe working as hard as they can to get into to study what program they want to go into to get a job and work as hard as they can. By implementing this directive we are undermining the ability of our universities to offer programs that are essential for functioning in todayโ€™s work force environment. By getting rid of offices and departments that offer help and resources for Kansans, โ€ฆ

Democrats aren't doing well, not because of Trump, but because their response to Trump (both times) has been incorrect and not inspired by regular people (this goes for national leaders not always local people)

K-State is a famously conservative university, which is fine, but not having a safe place for queer people to discover community on campus will result in more suicides, more depression, and a stifled community that will have stunted growth without community.

This is one the biggest losses for queer people in Kansas. I am committed to do what I can to support those in Manhattan and at K-State and give them a safe place to discover themselves and the community that will not give up. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿฉท๐ŸŒปโœŠ

Despite the bizarre vibes-based theories of the left NIMBYs, building more housing makes housing more accessible.

We should be clamoring to build every project that we can.
