Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

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

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

This blog will pay for itself.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

People are weird.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Our messy unity will be our strength.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Open Thread & Reminder: Zoom with VAAC on Tuesday at 7:30 ET

I want to invite everyone to what I think will be a really special zoom on Tuesday evening at 7:30.

Come and meet the folks from Voting Access for All Coalition!  You will meet some of the people who founded this organization two years ago, and you get to meet all of the folks who are in the video below.

I know that “zoom” and “fun” don’t always go together, but I can’t help feeling anything but excited and inspired when I talk to the people from VAAC.

Yes, You Can Vote in Michigan—New Video!

Send email to WaterGirl to get the zoom link.

Please join us in the zoom tomorrow!

Totally open thread.

    I have only heard from a couple of people so far, and I really hope there is more interest than that, even with the site issues.

    They are such great people, I would hate for them to show up and have almost no audience.

    I would rather donate than zoom. If you put up a donation thread before the zoom maybe the account total may assuage the disappointment of the zoom participation.

    Just sent you an email, WG. They seem like a good group who’ve identified an important and often overlooked niche.

    I think so, too. With 300,000 people impacted and the goal of getting 100,000 of them to vote in November, that alone could swing Michigan.

    Can’t wait! And you can always attend the Zoom without speaking or turning on your video camera. WaterGirl isn’t going to call on anyone :) This one will be particularly engaging.

    Like I told WG, when she told me about it, they seem like an awesome group, but Zooming (with 2 kids age 2 and under) isn’t really workable, unfortunately. I hope it goes well, though!
