Is there a public database one can access to look up court cases in Kansas?

If so, can someone provide the website? Also, is it a state database or by county? Does it have any limitations besides the obvious (sealed minor records, etc.)?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to physically speak to a Senator face to face?

I am genuinely terrified for our country. It's getting taken over by billionares. Please keep an open mind. This isn't about Trump. He is just a puppet under Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. Elon Musk has already taken over the treasury system, connected hard drives to the federal severs, and has locked opm employees out of their office.

I want to avoid a monarchy. I am hoping the majority of Americans want that, too. Historically, monarchies have always helped the ruling elites, and have failed the working class.

What can we realistically do to stop this? Are we stuck watching our country get replaced with monarchy?

I don't know what else to do, so I'm just going to spread this around.

If you want to find out more about these billionares, here is a great video about how they want to create network states and not have a democracy, but a ceo of a country with citizens as "customers"

Happy to help, just let me know where to go.

Title is pretty self explanatory but I was wondering if there are any rag houses or textile recycling mills in Kansas. Scraps kc is pretty good but it doesn’t have the types of materials I want to use. If you could help that would be great!

The Blue Hills, located 10 miles Northeast of Hays, are geologically distinct from the surrounding Smoky Hills. The flora of these rugged, semi-wild hills consists of yucca, soapberry trees, little bluestem, big bluestem, grama grass, and sunflower. Fauna consists wildlife such as prairie dog, prairie falcon, western meadowlark, black-tailed jackrabbit, scissor-tail flycatcher, desert cottontail, and swift fox. The hills may be look blue because of a blueish haze. There are no public lands at this time and the land is primarily used for grazing.

:As a sociologist, I need to tell you: Your overwhelm is the goal.

1/ The flood of 200+ executive orders in Trump's first days exemplifies Naomi Klein's "shock doctrine" - using chaos and crisis to push through radical changes while people are too disoriented to effectively resist. This isn't just politics as usual - it's a strategic exploitation of cognitive limits.

2/ Media theorist McLuhan predicted this: When humans face information overload, they become passive and disengaged. The rapid-fire executive orders create a cognitive bottleneck, making it nearly impossible for citizens and media to thoroughly analyze any single policy.

3/ Agenda-setting theory explains the strategy: When multiple major policies compete for attention simultaneously, it fragments public discourse. Traditional media can't keep up with the pace, leading to superficial coverage. The result? Weakened democratic oversight and reduced public engagement.

What now?

1/ Set boundaries: Pick 2-3 key issues you deeply care about and focus your attention there. You can't track everything - that's by design. Impact comes from sustained focus, not scattered awareness.

2/ Use aggregators & experts: Find trusted analysts who do the heavy lifting of synthesis. Look for those explaining patterns, not just events.

3/ Remember: Feeling overwhelmed is the point. When you recognize this, you regain some power. Take breaks.Process. This is a marathon.

4/ Practice going slow: Wait 48hrs before reacting to new policies. The urgent clouds the important. Initial reporting often misses context5/ Build community: Share the cognitive load. Different people track different issues. Network intelligence beats individual overload.

I called my representative this week about the short-lived federal funding freeze to ask why they're allowing Trump to randomly decide to halt billions in already promised funding to federally supported initiatives.

Me: why are you just allowing Trump to freeze funding that Congress has approved without any acceptable reason?

Guy who answered the phone: I'm not sure you know this, but the US was giving $50million in aid to Gaza for condoms.* Doesn't that bother you?

Me: are you embarrassed to find yourself spreading unmitigated badgershit? Like doesn't that personally make you feel kind of gross at all?

*referencing this claim from the white house that was swiftly and easily fact checked

I think we should absolutely be harassing our representatives and senators at least weekly. If they're not embarrassed to be carrying water for demented autocrats, they should be - or at least the poor staffers who have to answer the phone should be constantly reminded that they are working with some of the worst public servants on the planet. If Trump is saying wildfires and plane crashes are happening because of woke, ask your representative to explain what woke is, and how it works to cause disasters. Make them have to articulate why they believe what they seem to believe. It is much more satisfying to argue with someone in power than to argue on social media, I promise you.

I heard there's going to be a protest in Topeka on February 5th as part of the 50501 protests rejecting Project 2025, but I can't find any more information about it online anywhere. Does anyone know anything about if the protest is still going to happen or what time it would be or anything?

I'm also tried posting this in r/Topeka and r/Lawrence, but r/Kansas is bigger.

Update: It's been around 2 hours and I still have not heard anything.

If you have not seen it, Jay-Z's charitable foundation, Team ROC, recently released a podcast series on the story of corrupt KCK cop Roger Gollubski. It's pretty good, with many interviews of KCK witnesses and victims telling their stories.

You can find the series on many podcast players by searching for Team ROC, or find the videos of the podcast episodes on YouTube here.

Criminal podcast edition for January 31st 2025 is about the police raid on Marion County Record. Good story telling and short summary about freedoms of the press.

Just heard an u familiar sounding plane flying over south central Kansas. Hopped on Flight Radar to see that it happened to be a Ukrainian cargo transport traveling from Mexico to Canada.
