Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

T R E 4 5 O N

Let there be snark.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

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

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

Zoom with Voces de la Frontera on Thursday at 7:30 pm ET (Open Thread)

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

Goal Thermometer

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)

H. E. Wolf (no E on the end)
John Cole
Joy in FL
MomSense
Ruckus
Wolvesvalley

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.

    Nope. It’s impossible to comment right now. This comment is a figment of your imagination.

    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.

    @sab: I appreciate that, and I know Voces does, too!  I do zoom without video, and a person could zoom by phone and listen in if desired.

    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 ?
