And Kansas went blue shortly after.

We may have forgotten the lesson, but will we find a similar way out again?

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?
December 13, 2024 at 8:34 PM
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”
December 12, 2024 at 1:40 AM
(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
December 12, 2024 at 1:37 AM
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
December 12, 2024 at 1:37 AM
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
December 12, 2024 at 1:02 AM
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?
December 12, 2024 at 12:56 AM
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
December 12, 2024 at 12:51 AM
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”
December 12, 2024 at 12:48 AM
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)
December 12, 2024 at 12:48 AM
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
December 12, 2024 at 12:48 AM
Joann Cass (?), (another panelist):

- we need a truth and reconciliation committee.
December 12, 2024 at 12:48 AM
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
December 12, 2024 at 12:32 AM
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

Live tweeting (live-skying?) the @kcurkansascity.bsky.social Community Conversation: Following the Death of #Golubski. What now for #KCK?

Are you KIDDING ME?!?

What this year could’ve been.

But momentum building. Still could make a bowl.

Huge win.
