Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Fight them, without becoming them!

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

He really is that stupid.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

All hail the time of the bunny!

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

So many bastards, so little time.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Call To Action: One Tiny Thing You Can Do To Help Today

by WaterGirl|  May 3, 20224:52 pm| 93 Comments

This post is in: @Actual_Citizens, Join the Fight!, Open Threads, Politics

FacebookTweetEmail

Hey BJ Peeps,

I assume that most of you have seen or heard talk of the Join the Fight! project some of us are working on, or at least have heard about one part of the project – our Social Media Initiative.

I have one simple ask of every person who sees this today.  If you have an account on twitter, please follow us.  We set up our group account on Saturday, so we are just getting started, and the (fucking) Twitter algorithm will allow our content to be seen more widely if we have a bunch of followers.  So I am asking you to please follow us, even if you don’t get any more involved than that.

Our full group name is: Actual Citizens United – Join us in the Fight and you can find us on twitter as:

@Actual_Citizens

All our tweets will use the hashtag #ActualCitizensUnited

This tweet from the Palmer Report seemed appropriate for our pinned tweet:

Jamie Raskin is absolutely nailing it on messaging. The Democratic Party overall is very good at messaging. But most of you don't understand that your goddamn job as an activist is to amplify that messaging – not sit around and pretend that the Democratic Party has no messaging.

— Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) April 29, 2022

Open fucking thread.

Update at 4:45:  oops. I have one more ask, and I’m sorry I didn’t think of it sooner.  There is a group that is doing something similar to what we want to do, only their focus is entirely on the state of Michigan.  That would be another strategic follow to help them amplify their message, just by increasing the number of followers.

They are: @DistillSocial

    PSA: Folks on the CONTENT CREATION Team, remember our standing zoom meeting is tonight at 8 pm.  This is an opportunity for folks who want to help create “print” pieces and/or video pieces.

    Folks on the STATE-SPECIFIC CONTENT Team, I hope you are working your Insurrection spreadsheet for the state you chose. If you haven’t signed up for a state yet, please get in touch.  It only takes a couple of hours to do the research for a state, and your effort will help us name and shame the candidates and elected officials who participated in the insurrection or the “alternate electors” bullshit.

    If you haven’t signed up but you think you might want to get involved, please speak up in the comments or send me email.

    Big thanks to everyone who is already involved in the project in one form or another.

    *Had to cancel the Hawaii trip**, had to go into office to figure out what’s wrong with my access to a database, and a friend is gravely ill.  Now I’m home and hoping for NOTHING ELSE to happen today, thanksverymuch.

    **Travel company acting very strange as in, not responding to any communications.  My Aunt is convinced they’re going out of business, and she may be right. Finally got through to a customer service person, after 3 hours on hold, to cancel the trip.  We’ll see if they follow through with the refund.

    @Suzanne:   It does not have to be data trackers.  Virginia used to, and maybe still does, have Alcoholic Beverage Control agents park in sight of liquor stores in Washington DC, then follow customers with cars that have Virginia license plates back across the river.  It was a way to arrest people for violating liquor tax laws.

    Anyone from an abortion-banning state should not drive their own car to an abortion clinic.

    I remember when “Russia may declare ware on Ukraine” would have been a headline-in-another-reality …

    I’ve often followed the ‘Twitter lists’ here and at LGM, clicked on links, found myself at bottom of some interesting rabbitholes and awake past my bedtime…  Then, as you may know, Twitter edicted that ‘if you ain’t a member, you can’t read anything but the thread that was linked to.’  So signed over my soul opened an account.  Haven’t posted anything, yet, maybe I never will.  But if you want to give me the record for ‘Most Followers for a Totally Empty Account’, go to @KinsaleJAFD

    Now, I have signed up for @Actual_Citizens.  Plan to read the previous posts and comments on this (They’re amongst my umpteen open browser tahbs.), and contribute something useful in the near future.  But gotten stuck in Bunch Of Other Stough this past week.  Apologies.

    Anyway, tomorrow brings The Great New Jersey Bagopocolypse.  Also the anniversary of the killings at Kent State and Jackson State.

    I have a paranoid and cynical mind, so it can get MUCH worse. democraticunderground.com has a thread posting of Jamie Raskin:

    https://democraticunderground.com/100216653863
    https://twitter.com/repraskin/status/1521495388771033099

    Any right-wing state powerful enough to jail you for having an abortion is powerful enough to compel you to have one and sterilize you.

    Combining this with Stephen Miller’s border policy of snatching babies from refugees at our southern border, gives me visions of forced sterilizations of non-whites with questionable papers.

    this seems interesting

    Governor Kathy Hochul has appointed Congressman Antonio Delgado to be New York’s next lieutenant governor, after Brian Benjamin resigned last month following his indictment on federal corruption charges. Her decision comes hours after she signed new language into law that would allow for the removal of her former running mate from the ballot. Hochul and Delgado are slated to make their first joint public appearance in Albany this afternoon.

    I’ve found Delgado impressive. And I get so much email from him I sometimes forget we don’t actually know each other.

    This is suboptimal perhaps, but….

    With Delgado heading to Albany, Democrats will have to defend an open U.S. House seat in a swing district at a time when their party risks losing control of the chamber to Republicans.

    I had conversations with a few people today asking if they had any sort of exit strategy and making sure they know that I’ll help them if it’s needed.

    I figure being in the bluest part of one of the bluest states, I personally should probably be safe for a while, so I’m going to see who else needs help.

    Maybe that’s paranoia but I’m a Jew who was raised in the generation after the Holocaust. It’s kind of ingrained.

    If Matt Dolan (R) isn’t carrying Delaware Co. (suburbs north of Columbus) over J.D. Vance (R), the math just isn’t there. #OHSEN

    I can’t keep track. Is this the third non-trumpy hope of the OH GOP?

    @schrodingers_cat: I’m not sure if you are asking for your comment at #83 to be deleted?  It’s fine as is from my perspective, so please clarify if there’s something you would like me to do.

    Please have @Actual_Citizens send out some generic-ish “what we’re doing” tweets so I and others can retweet them. Ideally our followers will see the retweets, follow @Actual_Citizens, and work with Actual_Citizens.

    @WaterGirl:

    Possibly. But he’s not sure. I’ve decided that I shouldn’t pressure him in this area. He’s been burned before.
