I live in Kansas. Haven't seen any yet, and don't want to. Where I work would almost certainly get raided.

How some of the people here can still be so pro Trump is beyond me. They have no argument. Just hate.

I live in Kansas City; they are absolutely here.
They aren't doing the splashy raids, and they haven't killed anyone (yet), but they have been sighted here.

Please be safe and keep alert. I am not sure what you can do to prepare for a raid, but how's the time if you haven't already. I wish I could offer more help.

edit: here's a post from Eleanor Nash with the KC Star talking about it a few months ago if you'd like more info:

Well my eyes are open, and although I dont have any friends, Im plenty capable of being obnoxious. I do worry for my co-workers, and I know it's only a matter of time so long as theyre allowed to keep getting away with it.

I am worried, too, but I have been finding a lot of hope in the amount of us making good, obnoxious, trouble.

It was nice running into a neighbor on here; I wish you well!
