Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

“woke” is the new caravan.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.
