I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Kansans repeatedly crushing anti-abortion ballot measures

Much more fun on primary night when it is your state and you have actual stakes in the outcome that you worked hard with others to acheive. Winning is fun. Let's do it again. Everytime we will bring more people along for the ride. #Kansas

@mattcalcara.bsky.social Did you see Storm the GOP incumbent is losing a primary in 121? That is a potential pickup for the Dem challenger in a tough seat. #KSleg

On top of the news from Kansas voters rejecting the GOP attempt to wrest control of the state Supreme Court, make sure you also take notice of a #Kansas judge who struck down multiple restrictions on reproductive healthcare as unconstitutional. johnsoncountypost.com/2026/08/04/j...

Kansans across the state pushed back against a power grab by Republicans leaders to control the state Supreme Court. We organized to get out the vote. Action is an anedcdote to apathy. Community can conquer cynicism. Do not let your political power lie dormant. #Kansas

Anyone else feel like this is how you use your political voice?

That's right we did. We organized and talked to our friends, family and neighbors. #Kansas

BREAKING: Kansas voters rejected a constitutional amendment that would have changed to electing state Supreme Court justices, in a win for groups that were concerned the change would impact abortion rights and school funding.

Everyone talking about Adam Hamilton (D) vs Roger Marshall (R) for US Senate in #Kansas better also take note that the state Republicans have a escape hatch which steals the right to vote from all Kansans. kansasreflector.com/2026/06/17/k...

Kansas Republicans could try to delay election for U.S. Senate if Roger Marshall leaves office • Kansas Reflector

A 2025 Kansas law significantly narrowing a governor's options when making temporary appoints to fill U.S. Senate seats may be put to a test in 2026.

#Kansas voters coming up big to shut down a Republican power grab of the state Supreme Court. Glad to be one small part in helping Democratic voters know more about this by knocking 700+ doors in my neighborhoods. Even sweeter this was introduced by my state Senator Mike Thomspson (R-Shawnee).

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion

The New York Times has called the election on the proposed state constitutional amendment in Kansas in favor of "NO" https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/04/us/elections/results-kansas-amendment-1-require-elections-for-state-supreme-court.html 44/x #Kansas #Constitution

It's Primary Day! 👍🇺🇸☑️🗳️😀

That camera looks like a decapitated Johnny 5 from the movie Short Circuit.

Research consistently shows that the reliability of speed safety cameras compels drivers to slow down. In comparison, police-based enforcement is spotty and biased. NHTSA awards the tactic 5 stars, declaring it has been “demonstrated to be effective by several high-quality evaluations.”

🎥The Voting Rights Act built Kansas City’s Black political power. SCOTUS gutted the law that made it possible — and the fallout is already reshaping this year’s midterms. “Truth vs. Troost: Kansas City, gerrymandering and the fight for representation” premieres August 6, only for subscribers.

A page from the DOGE playbook: "Please email me weekly on the five things you've accomplished this week." No one is going to care about what these universities publish except for fascists to find one small thing they will mischaracterize and use as leverage. Collective action is the answer.

Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com · 2d ago

Pro-wrestling executive Linda McMahon issued a letter today (in her role as US Secretary of Education) demanding that universities justify their existence and explain policies to the Trump administration by the end of 2026. Not sure what the endgame is, but it sure feels like a trap.

As a Democratic volunteer, information like this is hope. Hope is not about relaxing because things 'look good.' Hope is about fuel to keep at something. Working in medicine has taught me a lot about hope. We have a lot of work to do in #Kansas. Change is possible. #KSgov #BlueKansas

Anyone who has worked in healthcare will never forget the horrors we have experienced through the pandemic. No amount of lying or gaslighting can ever erase that.

Overheard at the Baltimore airport…two middle aged dudes having beers: I haven’t used ChatGPT in a while. Months. There is a way to tell it “take everything you know about me, my voice, my thoughts & put it into a file I can give to a new AI to know me.” Then use one of the other ones. It’s great!

Tuesday, KS will decide whether we change our merit-based process for choosing Supreme Court justices. Kris Kobach has openly stated a yes vote would clear a path for restricting abortion access. VOTE NO this Tuesday. Full @washingtonpost.com article here: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
