Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Infrastructure week. at last.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

We Have Three $1,000 Matches for your Four Directions GA Donations!

by | 55 Comments

This post is in: ,

Inspired by Anonymous, who was inspired by HinTN who was inspired by Mousebumples who was inspired by MomSense, we have 3 more offers to match new Four Directions GA donations up to a total of $1,000!  So much generosity on display here!!

I want to announce our 3 remaining matchers:  Madeleine!   frosty!   la caterina!

Madeleine is first up for the 1,000 match today.

More news:  Four Directions has not received confirmation yet on the potential match of $25k from an outside group, but I remain hopeful.  In the meantime, Four Directions does have an offer in hand from someone else to match $7,000 of the remaining $9,500 that we are trying to raise. *Fine print: the $7,000 won’t show up in our thermometer, but it does help Four Directions come up with their $25,000 need for the joint project with Fair Fight.

So, starting when this post goes up, until we reach $1,000 in the comments, your donation will be double-double matched.If you donate, say $25, Madeleine matches that so it turns into $50, and then the outside person will match that, so it turns into $100.  We already got to the $1,000 match amount from Madeleine!

In case you were told there would be no math, I’ll give you some of the answers:

$10 will turn into $40!
$25 turns into $100!
$50 turns into $200!

Any donation between $10 and $50 is eligible for your double match.

Tell us the amount of your donation in the comments, and they will match with that amount.  The $1,000 donation will be made once $1,000 of matchable donations have been noted in the comments.

If you donate more than $50, Madeleine will match $50 of that.

Update: We’re at $1,000 in donations in the comments – so the match from Madeleine will be over, and we’ll be back to a single match from the external person who will match up to $7k.  We’ll have another turn at double-double matches with the $1,000 matches from frosty and la caterina!

We will still have two more $!,000 matches this week from frosty and la caterina, and each of those will be double-double matches until they reach $1,000.

    Thank you to Madeleine, frosty, and la caterina for such great generosity!

    Four Directions is enthusiastic about US Senator Raphael Warnock, and with our collective financial help – led by our stalwart match-ers – they will be turning out the substantial Native American vote in GA for his re-election.

    I just got a raise in my monthly social security payment, so I’m celebrating by donating an extra $25 for Four Directions.

    Threw in $25 while I can. I’m losing my higher paying job next month so penny pinching has started.

    This is so much fun to watch! Jackals do ROCK!

    ETA – We need to send WaterGirl her favorite dessert (which is?) for making all this happen!

    We’re at $955 in donations in the comments – as soon as we get to $1,000, the match from Madeleine will be over, so we’ll be back to a single match from the external person who will match up to $7k.

    We will still have two more $!,000 matches this week from frosty and la caterina, and each of those will be double-double matches until they reach $1,000.

    That’s it for the double-double match!

    Madeleine’s $1,000 match has been met!

    We still have the single match up to the $7k, but even if we reach the $7k, that will never show up in our thermometer.  That helps Four Directions get to their $25,000 they need for the joint project in Georgia with Fair Fight.

    We will still have two more $!,000 matches this week from frosty and la caterina, and each of those will be double-double matches until they reach $1,000.

    @WaterGirl:   Yea WaterGirl.

    Missed this one; I’ll be up for the next double-double match.

    Have we asked jackals to check if their companies match employee contributions?  Probably have, but would not be a bad time to remind of that.

    All right, all right…you talked me into it…$ be lean right now, but what the hell, I’m an old public radio person, I’m a sucker for a matching fund…

    OK, just gave $10. Holding onto some more for later when we get to the double match.

    Also thanks to our three donors and the anonymous one.  And to Watergirl who seems to have more energy for this website than I have for my life as a whole!

    In for a C-note. Also called a Benjamin too. (in this case one)

    I only gave $25. Rethinking that. With all this talk of the Benjamins, why not honor Grant ( $50) if a Benjamin is too much?

    Thank you so much, everyone.  The $1,000 match from frosty will go up this afternoon or this evening.

    The first $1,000 in the comments for that match will also be a double-double match where $5 turns into $20 for Four Directions, $10 turns into $40, $25 turns into $100, and $50 turns into $200 for Four Directions.

    @sab: Looking up different slang for dollars, was ‘clams’.  50 clams, 10 clams etc.  The origin for clams meaning dollars was the clam shell.  First Americans used shells as currency.  Wampum is the descriptive word for belts and necklaces used for trade between First Americans and whites hundreds of years ago going forward.  One of those was easily worth 50 clams.  Unadjusted for inflation or rarity.
