Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

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

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

You cannot shame the shameless.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Let there be snark.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

    I finally made my $50 donation, hope it’s not too late for matching.

    Not too late for angel matching!   Once the angel match is over, then everything people donate is still double-matched by the internal folks.

    @KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)):  Your $50 turned into $300.

    @Subcommandante Yakbreath:   Your $25 turned into $150.

    thank you both

    Elections matter. What a sea change from the previous administration… and what better way to celebrate it, than to support voter registration and voter access for under-represented groups

    Many thanks to [guesses at collective noun] the choir of BJ angels for this fundraiser! And to all the jackal donors, and WaterGirl for MC’ing the process. This blog is a force to be reckoned with….​

    I’m excited to hear about the 5 initiatives to improve the lives of Native people that Biden announced toward the end of his speech.

    Happy to chip in.

    I hope the protections for Chaco Canyon and Bears Ears hold. I’ve heard Biden might okay the mining at Oak Flat. That would be bad.

    @Regulon: It’s a new angel match – #6 – so unless folks were one of the first 5 to donate a day ago toward this new angel match, everyone can be angel matched up to $50 by angel #6.

    Your $50 turned into $300!

    The math for the angel match is easy (famous last words)  If you don’t put $50, just multiply by 6!

    I am perfectly happy to do the math for you. :-)

    @frosty:  $50 = $300

    @SiubhanDuinne:  $25 = $150

    @debbie: $25 = $150

    @surfk9: $25 = $150

    Thank you all!   We are at $500 for angel match #6.  So $500 of angel match money remains.

    There are no more angel matches in the wings at the moment, so if you’re planning to angel match at some point, this afternoon could be it.

    Even after that, though, we have the double-match.  The math is super simple there – just multiply your donation by 3!

    @WaterGirl:  I’ve just put in for another $50 with this thermometer. I think and hope this is one of the best applications of my donation budget. And I’ve also kept my monthly donation to Four Directions going.

    Oh, WG, you sly thing. You may think we don’t know what you did there, but you would be wrong.

    Hey, WaterGirl!  WisDems did an online fundraiser last night that netted $85k.  Can Balloon Juice beat that?

    November 15, 2021 at 3:01 pm

    @Mike S (Now with a Democratic Congressperson!):  I think you’re right.  Where else can you multiply your donation by 6, help throw a crappy Republican senator out of office, and help Native people have the voice they should have had for hundreds of years?

  22. 22.

    WaterGirl

    November 15, 2021 at 3:02 pm

    @Omnes Omnibus: Well, if we can get to $25k so we get the match, we’ll be at $75k and I think that’s pretty damn good.

    Obviously we should have kneecapped one of the performers for the show and kept the proceeds down, //

    Together that’s $900 for the Native vote in Wisconsin!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    We have just $250 left of the match from angel donor #6!
