Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Republicans don’t trust women.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

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

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

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

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

Zoom Next Week with FOUR DIRECTIONS (Ballot Access for Native People)

by | 32 Comments

This post is in: 

I am gonna call our conversation yesterday with the folks from FOUR DIRECTIONS a success.

If you missed the post last night last night, check it out.  Q & A with Four Directions

I found it engaging and inspiring, and John Cole suggested that we have another conversation, this time over Zoom.

The FOUR DIRECTION folks are totally on board with that idea, so I am in the process of setting up a zoom for next week with OJ Semans, Sr. and Lewis Cohen, our two guests from last night.

Interested in the zoom?   If you are, please let us know in the comments, and also send me email to let me know.  Please include your nym in the email so I can connect the dots.

This is a new BJ thermometer for 2021, so we can keep track of this year’s donations separate from 2020 donations.

Goal Thermometer

Four Directions has a long-time donor who is matching all donations made through 5/31 – up to a total of $50,000.

We have a chance to double our impact, so if you’re inclined to donate, click on the BJ thermometer!

And let me know if you are interested in the zoom!

Open thread.

    I read the Q&A very late last night and found it really informative. Impressive organization, impressive leaders. And I made a heftier than usual donation (I’m trying to keep them small so I can give a bit to more groups and people this year). All of which is to say that I’m interested in attending the Zoom call if I am able.

    @WaterGirl: ​
     
    Email was sent at 1:40 p.m., subject line “Four Directions Zoom.” I’ve just re-sent it (3:20 p.m. now), subject line “Four Directions Zoom RSVP.” If neither of those makes it, there may be an email issue. (I’ve got a gmail address–don’t know if that’s relevant.)

    Right now I’m maxed out on donations but I am so pleased to have learned about F.D. here during the election and was/am proud to give to such a wonderful org. And though I won’t be participating in the zoom event I look forward to reading about it and learning what needs to be done going forward. ??

    Very interested in attending!  I’ll be out of town over next weekend (Memorial Day weekend) but am available otherwise.

    Thank you so much for setting up these meetings!

    Won’t do the Zoom, but I donated last night, given that my house sits on Cayuga land.

    @debbie: I don’t think so.  But we can record it so you could listen to it later.  Assuming the Four Directions folks don’t have a problem with that.

    I donated late last night and got a nice thank-you email from Lewis Cohen today.

    I am so happy to see the thermometer filling up. How awesome would it be if we took it over the top?

    I have supported Four Directions for a little while, and depending on time and day would love to listen in.
