Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

When we show up, we win.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

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

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

Good Morning All,

On The Road and In Your Backyard is a weekday feature spotlighting reader submissions. From the exotic to the familiar, please share your part of the world, whether you’re traveling or just in your locality. Share some photos and a narrative, let us see through your pictures and words. We’re so lucky each and every day to see and appreciate the world around us!

Finally, it wouldn’t be Balloon Juice without a pet picture, so here are Luda and her dogs.

Thank you so much Origuy, 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.

 

Once again, to submit pictures: Use the Form

 

With the upcoming site redesign, there will be many changes and so email submissions are over for now. Once it happens – in weeks, I imagine, there will be a slight interruption while we sort things out. So if you’re sitting on some pictures, now’s the time to submit them, using the form.

    Thanks!

    Some People everywhere find love in the dawgs! We see rescue efforts for kittys in war zones, like Syria. So it’s good to see people who love dogs or cats in other far reaching territory. Reminds us of out common humanity…
