WEEKLY/SEMANAL - KANSAS CITY, MO

A first-of-its-kind event recently brought the colors, sounds, and history of one of Mexico’s proudest traditions to Kansas City.

Labor rights and civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, who championed causes for farm workers, women, and immigrants, died on October 28 at the age of 96.

The seismic midterm blue wave anticipated by Democrats and dreaded by Republicans swept over Missouri and Kansas and across the country on election night Tuesday, delivering glimpses of hope to voters who sent a clear, sharp rebuke of President Donald Trump’s chaotic tariffs, cost-of-living increases, war in Iran, and immigration.

It looks to be that kind of season. There’s no need to get all worked up over one game, but dang, if we are going to yoyo all year long, one moment on, one moment down and always spinning about, then I might as well get it off my chest now.
