Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s finish the job.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

No one could have predicted…

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

We are aware of all internet traditions.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Republicans in disarray!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

On the Road and In Your Backyard

On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.

From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.

Submit Your Photos

Good Morning All,

This weekday feature is for Juicers who are are on the road, traveling, or just want to share a little bit of their world via stories and pictures. So many of us rise each morning, eager for something beautiful, inspiring, amazing, subtle, of note, and our community delivers – a view into their world, whether they’re far away or close to home – pictures with a story, with context, with meaning, sometimes just beauty. By concentrating travel updates and tips here, it’s easier for all of us to keep up or find them later.

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the picture!

Another older submission, showing a Juicer doing good work!

Today, pictures from valued commenter James E Powell.

My colleague Francisco and I on the picket line. I’m the fat guy on the left. Four straight days of rain in Los Angeles is unusual.

Diego Rivera Learning Complex, Los Angeles

Our fourth straight day of rain. Morale and resolve remain very high. Today we walked the neighborhood where our students live. The support was overwhelmingly positive.

 

Thank you so much James E Powell, do send us more when you can.

 

Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

    Thank you, James and Francisco! Two thumbs up from this former teacher.

    I’m envious of precipitation that isn’t snow. We got 8 inches two days ago, on top of existing snow cover, and another 6 are forecast for tomorrow. And there’s a thick layer of ice underneath it all.

    Old, fat guys unite! Fight! Fight! Wait a sec… let me adjust my truss.

    Seriously… I’m proud of you to get in the street.

    On a unrelated topic… will one of you front pagers do a story on the Butterfly refuge in Mission, TX? I think there’s a real mess brewing down there.

    Butterflies now. How will I ever explain this to my grandchildren?
