Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

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

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

This fight is for everything.

I was promised a recession.

Everybody saw this coming.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Let there be snark.

California Makes Registering To Vote Just A Little Bit Easier

California continues to make trendsetting strides. Earlier this week Governor Jerry Brown outlawed the use of the team name “Redskins” as a team name or a mascot (we wish the NFL would follow his lead) and recently Brown also signed legislation to automatically register people to vote when they obtain or renew their driver’s license.

The measure, which would also allow Californians to opt out of registering, was introduced in response to the dismal 42% turnout in the November 2014 statewide election. That bill and 13 others the governor signed Saturday, will “help improve elections and expand voter rights and access in California,” Brown’s office said in a statement.

Let’s hope the rest of the country pays attention.

Team Blackness also discussed Keisha Knight Pulliam’s response to Raven-Symone’s black name comments, the fact that black workers need to be twice as good as their coworkers, and Huffington Post is crowdfunding to keep their Ferguson staff writer.

    Oregon and Washington have had this for years, but California will obviously bring more attention

    Did brown order the name changed to the blood thirsty savages. Or did he order the state motto changed to what our moms told us- sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never harm me?

    I’m afraid, Oregon did it first. The northwest is way ahead of California in a number of things.
