Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Come on, man.

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

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Bark louder, little dog.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Fight them, without becoming them!

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Zoom with FOUR DIRECTIONS (Ballot Access for Native People) Wednesday May 26 at 7:30 PM

We are all set for a Zoom with the FOUR DIRECTIONS folks who were here with us for the Q & A last Wednesday.

Wednesday, May 26 at 7:30 pm Eastern time.

Doors open at 7:00 for anyone who wants extra time to get situation or just wants to chat informally before the zoom officially begins.

Be sure to bring your questions!   Or just listen, if you prefer.  I’ll bring the flowers.

Here’s an updated picture of my ‘Krinkled White’ peonies from just a minute ago, to spruce up the post.

These people have already RSVP’d:

John Cole
H.E. Wolf
WolvesValley
Subaru Diane
Auntie Anne
geg6
skerry
JoJo
Deepti
Joy in FL
pika
Torrey
Josie
CaseyL
SargassoSink
Almost Retired
Rivers
HinTN

Elizabelle

As usual, if you plan to join the zoom follow up on your comment with an RSVP to me by email (WaterGirl).

Personally, I hope to hear more about the upcoming event on June 25th, at the Native American Veterans Memorial in Washington DC, where the Descendants of Buffalo Soldiers will formally present their proclamation in support of the reintroduction of the Remove The Stain Act. 

If you already have some questions, please feel free to chime in with them the comments here.

So proud of what you guys donated last week.  What an amazing community!

In other news, our 10,000 has helped FOUR DIRECTIONS get closer to the 50,000 match amount!

With the new matching funds, I am hoping that we at BJ might be able to donate another 5,000.  If we get there, with the matching funds that would be 30,000 from us at Balloon Juice.

I have asked DougJ if he is up for raising our thermometer from 10k to 15k, and I am waiting to hear back.

I paired this with an Open Thread, since it’s been awhile.

    Could we please have an open thread?

    Maybe one celebrating Bob Dylan’s birthday today??  Calling something an “open thread” doesn’t make it one, when the title is so specific.

    Is that 7:30 Eastern or Central?

    @WaterGirl: Thanks, I will try to make it.  Four Directions is one of the recipients of my small contributions, the other being Beto’s Powered by People.

    They sent me a very nice thank you email. I worry that we may be a bad influence on them.
    I don’t Zoom.

    WaterGirl – I’d like to RSVP for this; can you send me the link? Or should I email you?

    I raised the temp of the thermometer a couple of centiKelvin and would like to attend, but I lurk too much [ETA: as a proportion of total time on-site, which may be insufficient overall] to know Ms. Girl’s address. I’ll guess I’ll give handle at blog domain a shot ?​

    @CaseyL: Email me, please.

    That way I can just cruise through all the RSVP emails, hit reply on each one and paste in the zoom link and info.  It’s easier if I just do them all at once.  :-)

    @SargassoSink: it’s just my nym and at balloon-juice.com

    Let me know if you need better info than that.  If I type out the address it will turn into spam city.

    @WaterGirl:  No, of course, I think you’re brave for typing that! That’s what I’d surmised; I tried to obfuscate the address a little bit more. Thanks!

    Awesome organization.  I’ll e-mail you, Watergirl, for the link.   Hope I can make it — a bit difficult at 4:30 PST on a school day, but I’ll try.  Thanks for organizing this!

    @Almost Retired: Yeah, it’s tricky – not too early for folks in CA, not too late for people on the East coast.

    It’s a 90-minute zoom, and you can join late if you need to, that’s no problem.
