Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans in disarray!

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

T R E 4 5 O N

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

White supremacy is terrorism.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

When we show up, we win.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Books are my comfort food!

R.I.P., Ashley Villareal:

A teenage girl, shot and killed by federal drug agents, was a victim of excessive force from law officers who were investigating her father, relatives and friends say.

Ashley Villarreal, 14, died on Tuesday evening after family members requested that she be taken off life support at Wilford Hall Medical Center.

A friend challenged Drug Enforcement Administration officials’ account of how agents on Sunday had shot the daughter of Joey Angel Villarreal, a three-time convicted drug offender who turned himself in and was charged with cocaine trafficking a day after the shooting.

Ashley Villarreal had been hospitalized in critical condition since being shot once in the back of the head.
