John Hart (D) – candidate for Johnson County, Missouri Presiding Commissioner
Last Thursday the Johnson County (Missouri) Democratic Club held their first in-person monthly meeting since the COVID-19 pandemic started over two years ago. The meeting took place outdoors in a park shelter in Warrensburg.
In addition to the usual club business and announcements, local candidates who show up have an opportunity to speak to club members and take questions.
John Hartt, a Democratic Party candidate for Johnson County Presiding Commissioner, showed up. He spoke and took questions.
John Hart (D) has previously served on the county commission.
Experience and institutional memory matter.
He spoke about the nuts and bolts of running the county and the importance of listening to the concerns and opinions of every constituent. He fielded questions that reflected the pragmatic concerns of most county residents – the county budget, the Sheriff’s office, roads and bridges – including paving, road drainage, and the proper use of the right of way.
You know, practical concerns about practical things.

Late on Monday night a week ago an extensive U.S. Supreme Court draft majority opinion by Samuel Alito was leaked indicating the court will reverse Roe v Wade (1973). On Tuesday the Supreme Court confirmed that the document was authentic.
Yesterday in Kansas City several hundred pro-choice demonstrators gathered at Mill Creek Park for a rally and picketing.
At one point early in the demonstration one individual approached from the north in the park.
…Someone never fails to make that mistake – berating a large gathering of pissed off women. They didn’t back down. Which seemed to upset him even more…
The audio is from a digital audio recorder via a lavalier microphone. Wind noise, street sounds, and the camera shutter are also audible in the recording.

Pro-choice demonstration in Warrensburg, Missouri – May 6, 2022, part 2

From 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. yesterday a grassroots pro-choice demonstration, organized online and by word of mouth, took place on the Johnson County Courthouse lawn in downtown Warrensburg. Over 100 individuals participated.
Pro-choice demonstration in Warrensburg, Missouri – May 6, 2022 (May 6, 2022)
Most passing traffic signaled their support by honking their car horns. A few anti-choice individuals shouted what appeared to be unintelligible talking points which were usually meet with sharp retorts.
This was a much younger crowd and mostly female. They are awake and motivated. It would be a big mistake to ignore or discount their activism.
They were fearless. And fierce.
“Pro Roe”
Law enforcement, across the street:
Cliché. An anti-choice counter-protester, across the street:
“When will the fight end? This is healthcare. This is a right to privacy.”
“Women are not your incubator to regulate”
Fearless:
“My body, my choice”
“Keep my uterus out your effing mouth”
“Pro-choice saves”
“Keep abortion safe and legal”
“Their body, their choice”
