Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

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

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The choice is between normal and crazy.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

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

… gradually, and then suddenly.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Lights For Liberty – DC, San Ysidro, Peterborough

PlanetJanet: Here are a few pictures from the event in DC. About 3000 signed up for the event and the crowd looks like it could be that big.  About half of Lafayette Park was taken up by the crowd.  The event started with a march by the American Federation of Teachers who marched down 16th St and into the Park.  They had about a hundred marchers with several chants.  I most liked Classrooms, Not Cages. One very moving moment for me was as they read the names and ages of children who have died in US custody, along with the manner and place of death. After each name, we answered “Let freedom ring forever”. The event finished with us all singing This Little Light of Mine”. I love that song. Congresswoman Norma Torres spoke briefly.

Love little Miss Liberty up in the tree!

James E. Powell: This march was organized as San Diego but was more specifically in San Ysidro, right at the border crossing to Tijuana. I’m no good at estimating crowds, but the march, once it got going, was over a quarter mile long, filling two lanes. When we all got to the border, we had the same kind of speeches RandyG in Tuscon mentioned, with the same results. It did not help that we were standing right next to the train stop.

Misswhatsis in Peterborough, New Hampshire: This is left to right a state senator, Jeanne Dietsch, a state Rep (me) a local choir leader, and a Peterborough select board member leading the singing.

More to come…

    Very good turnouts. For all of the marches.
    I wanted to go but had a not great health day Friday. It didn’t help that it took me 35 minutes to drive about 8 miles of the 48 mile trip on my way to a friends house.
