Shakea Roper didn’t imagine she would become a leader in her neighborhood. “I really am more of, like, an introvert,” the 41-year-old social worker says

Even so, Roper has created a weekly walking group in Marlborough that encourages a healthy lifestyle and builds community.
A Kansas City therapist started a walking group for exercise. She wound up building a community
Shakea Roper needed to make a lifestyle change, but safety concerns can make it hard to find a place to be more active. Roper teamed up with the Marlborough Community Coalition on a walking group for all ages and skill levels, and transformed how she thinks about being a neighborhood resource.

“You kill people and break things for a living” is one of the most insane sentences I’ve ever heard
Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

A new Pregnancy Justice report shows that more than 400 people have been prosecuted for crimes related to pregnancy, childbirth, and pregnancy loss in the first two years after Dobbs, writes @azizaahmed.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
How Long Before Taking Tylenol While Pregnant Is a Crime?
In light of new data showing over 400 people have been prosecuted for pregnancy-related crimes, we should be wary of how Trump’s directives may be used against women.

Grateful to exist in the same universe as Ta-Nehisi Coates as a thinker, writer, and public intellectual. He handles these conversations with generosity and grace in a way I absolutely never could.
This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

Charles Adair was imprisoned for misdemeanor traffic violations in KCK when he was murdered. Glad to see there are charges coming.

This hit-and-run crash is a perfect example of why we need the road diet completed on 39th Street.

#KCMO streets are dangerous by design, and our most vulnerable road users too often pay the price.

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

This was a very grounding read
Reminder: "Sometimes, 'bearing witness' feels like the only thing we can do, but the relentless consumption of suffering and injustice does not change anyone’s material conditions. It may feel like we’re doing something, but during such moments, we are experiencing an impact rather than having one."

We must be prepared to live and act defiantly, deriving no legitimacy from the illegitimate brutes who would govern us.
