Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

And so it is for the politically and morally bankrupt Kevin McCarthy.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Republicans don’t trust women.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

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

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

I am not a mom myself, unless you count my pups and kitties, but I salute all moms of all types who are out there.

May you all have as relaxing a day as this.

Happy Mother's Day 1
My sweet Tucker in his early days.

Unless you prefer to be gardening or doing something else that’s relaxing in its own way.  Like, you know, taking a trip to Ukraine during a war, to connect with the first lady of Ukraine.

Happy Mother's Day 2

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms and not-moms!

    I get that. You are probably correct.

    But, as a damn fossil raised in the 50s, I still recall the cultural tsunami that rolled from sea to shining sea the day Jackie took up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

    @oldgold: Jackie followed Mamie Eisenhower, Bess Truman, Eleanor Roosevelt and was a cultural lightning bolt. The television tour of the refurbished White House, charming de Gaulle in her perfect French while he was fighting with Jack, just being Jackie.

    I can’t think of a bigger contrast to SOP in my lifetime. And that’s before considering her conduct following the slaughter of first, her husband (literally splattered with his brains) and then her brother in law. What may have appeared to be a wisp of a woman proved to have a spine of steel.

    Hard not to miss my mother today.

    She loved the opera, & probably would have been pleased I got asked to use an extra ticket to the MET Opera broadcast of Turandot yesterday.

    Interestingly, the soprano portraying Turandot was the Ukrainian singer Liudmyla Monastyrska. It’s been five years since she played the role, and I gather from checking articles there was drama because she replaced the Russian soprano Anna Netrebko who wouldn’t/couldn’t condemn Putin. (Didn’t surprise me now after reading Adam’s nightly updates. Feels like we’re back to the era of occasional ballet dancers defecting, trying to balance on the political tightrope, or just enjoying their privileges).

    Anyway, it was a real MET spectacular. Monastyrska was good, though you don’t get her singing throughout. In this opera, it’s the tenor, Yonghoon Lee, who was on stage singing the most.

    The MET either still had Ukrainian flags from the Concert for Ukraine, or added them in her honor, hanging in the theater. During her final bows she came out wrapped in the Ukrainian flag. During the extras in between the interviews etc. the war was mentioned, also the presence in the audience of, I think, the Ukrainian Ambassador to the UN. Clearly part of a smartly done full court cultural press.

    The one time we attended an opera at the NY Met, we went for the full monty, of eating before and during the intermissions. The folks seated to our right were Italian, and according to Wife were busy comparing the Met’s opera palace at Lincoln Center to IIRC Milano”s opera theater, their home town. They did applaud the show enthusiastically with Bravo, etc, so I forgive them their insularity.

    We enjoyed it a great deal, while I’m not a huge fan, this was a classic production with classic performers — the champagne didn’t hurt a bit, either. Probably 15 years ago now…

    @Tenar Arha: Virtual hug from another person whose Mom is no longer around.  Today is a conflicting day for me though.  My Mom who passed away in 2012, was pretty conservative most of her life and I honestly don’t know which side of our political divide she would have ended up on had she lived to see the Trump years (though she surprised me by being legit excited at the prospect of a Woman president when Hillary ran in 2008, despite having hated the Clintons for decades, so there was hope at least).  Also, this Mother’s Day seems really poisoned by the likely prospect of so many Women, Transgender Men and Non-Binary people losing control over their reproductive choices, and the fact that so many “good” mothers went right along with supporting this bullshit.  So it’s extra hard to be particularly positive today.

    A great article for Mother’s Day:

    My mom always had a rule about these things when we were growing up: Never teach your children something you have to unteach them, and never lie. Just explain it in a way they will understand. To this day, she still jokes about a friend of mine in second grade loudly proclaiming that a condom was a tampon. What must her parents have been thinking with that explanation?

    But I remember that abortion talk clearly. We were unpacking the car after a long day and heading up to our room when I asked what abortion meant.

    “An abortion is a procedure that a pregnant person has when they don’t want to be pregnant anymore,” she started. “And it doesn’t hurt the baby because the baby isn’t really a baby yet. And it means if someone wants to be a parent, they can make the decision to do it when they’re ready.”

    I don’t remember exactly how old I was, maybe in middle school. But even at that age, my mom’s explanation made perfect sense. It was simple. Why would anyone be against that? And to be honest, I still don’t understand why people make abortion so complicated—it’s so fundamental, so obviously intrinsic to bodily autonomy and the self-determination of people who can become pregnant.

    My mom continues to teach me so many formative things, so many lessons that instruct how I live my life, and what kind of person I am and hope to become.

    But the two most important things are what it means to be a mom and what it means to be pro-abortion. And she showed me that the two are inextricable—you cannot really be a good parent, you cannot show your children the world through your eyes, if that world does not include reproductive freedom for all.

    My biggest hope in life is that I can one day be the mom she is to me and that I can show my children what it means to feel loved and supported the way she always has and still does. And I hope one day I get the chance to explain to my own children what an abortion is, the way my mom did for me.

    As an adult, I still come back to her explanation to ground myself—to remind me why I do this work. It’s simple and honest.

    And it makes me really grateful my mom chose to have me.”

    @Raven: Stepmom Day is next Sunday. I insist on the stepkids making the distinction because stepmom’s deserve respect too.
