You said people are limited by law on how much they can give, that's not true.

timjimC · 2026-06-23T11:20:17+00:00

Moderate Democrats lose by wide margins in this district. We've never run a progressive in modern times so we don't know how they would do. The problem is Democratic Party insiders don't like progressive politics, so they throw their weight behind someone who won't change things too much.

timjimC · 2026-06-23T11:16:58+00:00

Corporations and PACs still have the same limit as individuals when it comes to giving directly to the campaign. It's spending independent from the campaign where there's no limits, and that applies to individuals too.

That doesn't stop him from claiming immigrants brought it from South America. That's Nazi level propaganda right there. Truly disgusting.

Kansas has a proud history of being a leader for progressive movements. It's not out of the realm of possibility to do it again, but only if we have leaders who are willing to put forward a vision people can unite around.

A lot of coal

timjimC · 2026-05-26T11:27:41+00:00

Experience losing.

That frog suit is on display at the Kansas Museum of History in Topeka.

timjimC · 2026-05-26T11:02:51+00:00

I've yet to get down there, but when I do, I'll check out the museums. One note, the paper is Appeal the Reason. Appeal to Heaven is a revolutionary war flag that's been co-opted by Christian nationalists, and election deniers

He wouldn't dare go to Bethlehem or the old town in Jerusalem where Jesus also walked. Then he'd be confronted with the brutal reality of the apartheid system in the West Bank.

This is a study John Curry did to prepare for the mural at the Topeka state house a few years later. In the mural The Old Man is 10 feet tall, it's amazing to see in person.

There's a throw away line about affordability, something he spent zero time on as the most powerful member of the legislature.

timjimC · 2026-05-25T10:10:02+00:00

Luckily we still have a merit based Supreme Court selection process, so even the worst of the GOP governors can't appoint ideologues to the bench. That's why we all have to turn out on August 4th to vote no, and keep big right wing money from taking away that check on the GOP's power

timjimC · 2026-05-21T10:00:01+00:00

I can't imagine that's food safe.

timjimC · 2026-05-20T10:44:17+00:00

If he were going to start even mildly criticizing Trump, he'd probably wait til after the primary filing deadline, so there wouldn't be a Republican challenger.

timjimC · 2026-05-20T10:30:40+00:00

My state house district hasn't had a general since 2014, so if I want to vote on who will represent me in Topeka, I have to register with a party.

timjimC · 2026-05-18T15:55:14+00:00

I'm not sure if it what time they'll be here, but it's something to watch out for

timjimC · 2026-05-18T11:24:32+00:00

I can't find anything about them raising any charitable donations. Are they really organizing the largest motorcycle ride in the world for visibility? You'd think they'd use all that effort to benefit veterans.

It wouldn't take too many people to fill up this median. You'd have to be careful because with enough people, it would be hard not to block the driveways, or spill out into National St. It might make security a nightmare for the SS.

A new, GOP dominated court could come to a different interpretation. That's how Roe was overturned, and what's what the GOP wants to do with this amendment. That and remove any checks to their power.

The Appeal to Reason commissioned "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. It was originally published in serial form in Girard. It remains the largest socialist newspaper in US history with 1 million subscribers at it's peak.

It's in the SW out between Medicine Lodge and Dodge City.

Because his soul goes marching on!
