Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

I really should read my own blog.

This post is in: , ,

Katherine and Cassandra (from the above photo) will be on the zoom with to talk about growing up in the movement, Voces, and working in the 2020 campaign.  Fabi, Alejandra, and Alan – who we all met at the Ask Them Anything Voces post a month ago – will be on the zoom as well, but I wanted to highlight the new voices.  I’m excited to hear what they have to say!

If you’re interested, they can share opinions about Wisconsin politics and projections about the 2022 elections.

The Balloon Juice thermometer for Voces de la Frontera has been climbing up, and we hope to have some good news to share on Thursday’s zoom with Voces.

Goal: fund a field organizer coordinator position (45k) for Voces de la Frontera Action

In case you want a little background before the zoom, here’s a link to a NYT article from a hundred years ago Sept 2020: What Will it Take to Vote in Milwaukee?

These BJ peeps RSVP’d for the previous zoom time, but now it is rescheduled for this Thursday, 7:30 pm blog time.  (aka Eastern time)

If you would like to attend, please chime in below and also send me email so I can send you the link to the zoom!

Otherwise, totally open thread.  There’s just no other way to announce anything but in a thread, but that doesn’t mean the thread has to be about this, other than to RSVP.

    Looking forward to Thursday!

    PS: I’m just a plain ordinary Wolf, not like them fancy folks with an “e”. :)

    Open thread?

    Had I the means would love to track down those still living among these kids from 1966 and solicit their reactions today to their (many rather darkly tinted) prophecies then.

    Enjoy the Zoom! Looking forward to reading about it. :-)

    In other news, …

    For those curious about the internet economy – this vid got 15M views here, 28M on TikTok, 30M on an IG meme account.

    But I didn’t make a penny from any of it!

    Luckily I can back it up with production skills when brands come knocking. But lots of views basically means nothing. https://t.co/YavFKUqI9V— Kevin Parry (@kevinbparry) July 19, 2021

    He’s very talented.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    I’d like to attend, please.

    Also, I’m wondering whether it would be possible to do some kind of update on how Four Directions is doing at some point.

    @Torrey: Great!  Can you send me an email so I can reply with the zoom link once I have it?  my nym at balloon-juice.com

    Yes, we can certainly have an update from Four Directions at some point.  I just talked with them earlier this week.  Maybe we’ll get 3 under our belt, and then ask for updates ?
