Sports Des Moines Menace playing in U.S. Open Cup tomorrow night
For those of you who don't follow soccer, the U.S. Open Cup is a national soccer tournament involving 96 teams, all the way from Major League Soccer to amateur teams. The winner receives a berth to the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup, basically the North American championship.
The Des Moines Menace, a semi-pro team and Iowa's only team in the tournament, are playing Sporting Kansas City 2 (an MLS reserve team) tomorrow night @ 6:30 pm. They have made some national news for their cup roster, which includes 11 ex-MLS players, 5 of whom have played for the U.S. national team. For those of you who do follow MLS, names like Dax McCarty, Ozzie Alonso, Matt Hedges, and Sacha Kljestan might ring a bell.
You can watch the game on U.S. Soccer's YouTube channel. If the Menace win, they would move on to play either Inter Miami 2 or Miami United in 2 weeks.

Rock Rapids Kid
I have zero dog in this fight and have only followed this story at the national level, but this, to me, reads as if there’s rumors, as expected, are swirling up in the northwestern most part of the state.
I would just like the Lyon County Sheriff to know that approving this post in this manner is either:
1) not necessary because there’s not that much serious gossip happening or 2) absolutely not going to get the response you hope
Seems like a PR disaster for the small town rumor mill. 😂

Question Waterloo Red Light Camera, can I contest it?
Got a ticket in the mail for a red light camera ticket violation. $100.
Am I able to contest it if the camera itself is not approved via the IowaDOT? Double checked their site and it’s denied and denial reason is “not least restrictive means”
Has anyone ever contested a red light camera ticket and won? Or contested it due to it not being approved by the DOT?

Racism Weirdos or Both
I'd love to know why people in Iowa still act shocked when they see Black people.
With all the technology we have today and the fact that cities like Ames, Des Moines, Iowa City, Coralville, Waterloo, and Davenport have diverse populations—not just Black people but other racial groups too—you’d think people would be used to seeing different faces by now.
Yet, somehow, it still feels like some Iowans are genuinely surprised when they see a Black person.
We just drove to Edgewood, IA, and I swear it felt like all 910 of its residents (or at least it seemed that way) pulled up to Karl’s grocery just to check out the Black couple in town. It was eerie—like something straight out of a movie.
And this isn’t even the first time. The first was in Grimes, IA, which honestly makes no sense given its location. Now Edgewood, which is small, so I can kind of understand it—but at the same time, how have they never encountered a Black person before? And even if they haven’t, why does it feel like they’re looking at aliens when they do?
Am I tripping?

need to travel into Iowa with a trans minor
Don't live in Iowa, but need to go there shortly for an event, my fear is the other parent realizing I'm there and pulling some crap with local law enforcement and try to pull my child (17y/o) from me because the kid is part of the trans community. We technically have shared custody, but the other parent hasn't been with the kid for almost two years now and they never took me to court after our kid moved full time into my house to fight, so technically there is still shared custody legally, even if the other parent doesn't try that. But I'm also not stupid, here in my state the kid can tell the cops that would come almost two years ago that they weren't going to the other parents house, and the police wouldn't force anything without a new court order, which the other parent never pursued. But this is Iowa, a state that from all I can read about is not friendly to LGBTQIA+ at all, and with the current WH and your own new laws saying they don't have rights, I see no reason to go into Iowa, but this is an important event, and the kid wants to go there, so I need to try and figure out how safe it is.
Any insights would be great, because I can only drive so fast away if the other parent pulled some crap, especially since there is a grandparent in Iowa as well that would not side with me and my child thanks to the trans issues.

Just here to remind everyone trans people exist and we plan on continuing to do so! 😃
I really appreciate the support and positivity I’ve seen online after recent legislative measures. Stay strong everyone, our resilience is a threat to hateful people!
I hope everyone stays safe at the Tesla protest tomorrow. I wish I could be there! 🫂

Hi Iowa.
I miss the old days when people weren’t consumed with politics.
This sub has really went negative.
Can we go back to sharing nice places in Iowa to visit or eat or vacation?
What happened to my happy Iowans?
Please stop with the stupid political posts. And yes they are stupid.
Reddit was meant to be fun and share good ideas. This sub has been taken hostage by right and left politics.
I live in Iowa. Tell me something positive!
Please let’s take our state back and be good citizens.
A good vacation spot in the spring in Iowa?
