Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

I really should read my own blog.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

This fight is for everything.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Nevada Four Directions Native Vote 1

More information about Four Directions that can also be shared on social media.

We are just $2,774 $517 away from $75,000 to help Four Directions get out the Native vote in Nevada.

That’s $25,000 from us and $50,000 from the double-match Four Directions found for us.

We have $495 $85 $35 remaining in Angel Match funds that multiply your donation by 6.

A new angel just popped up with a $500 match.  

All donations up to $50 are now multiplied by 6!

Let’s do this!

    @Other MJS: Thanks for the reminder to add the link with more information about Four Directions.  The link is in the post now if you want to read more about the organization.

    If you are asking about the symbolism of Four Directions, this is what google says.

    Different tribes interpret the Medicine Wheel differently. Each of the Four Directions (East, South, West, and North) is typically represented by a distinctive color, such as black, red, yellow, and white, which for some stands for the human races.

    $100. I suppose one of the benefits of my (hopefully temporary) unemployment is that I’m no longer bound by the code of judicial conduct and can donate to political causes again. Lemons into lemonade, I guess.

    4 Directions works and I’m happy to see them for election ’22. Thanks one and all–$10.

    Why are the front pagers not hammering home the exploding headlines about Trump the fucking traitor?

    Hi – Just kicked in $100.  Thanks for doing this, WG!!

    Just $185 of the Angel match left, and there are no angels waiting in the wings.

    After that donations get multiplied by 3 instead of 6.

    Not that being double-matched isn’t totally awesome!

    @Bill Hicks: There were three posts yesterday on the topic after the affidavit was released. It’s only partway through Saturday, and maybe you weren’t aware, but there are other things going on in the world.

    But if you are dissatisfied, I’m sure Cole will refund the money you pay to read this blog.

    @Bill Hicks: Hey, front pagers run errands and go to farmer’s markets on Saturday mornings, too.  :-)

    I did just add this to the rotating tags, shared with us by Baud.  Looking forward to seeing that one in the rotation.  And once we hit our mark on fundraising, I was planning to use that in a post title.

    @WaterGirl: Remember that guy who paid to have a plane fly over Mar-a-lago with a banner saying HA HA HA HA HA? Maybe this time he could get a giant truck with a picture of trump behind bars painted on the side, with that word in place of where the numbers usually go. That would be fun to see.

    @WaterGirl: I also want to thank you for posting “All those FBIs” TikTok video yesterday.  It is my new favorite thing.  I just showed it to my husband and he loved it too, of course :-)

    We will see the thermometer jump by $1,000 shortly – unless our angel is out running errands!

    Then we just need $2,000 to meet our goal.  I am so excited that we get to help out Nevada like this.

    Several months ago I told Four Directions that we wouldn’t be raising funds for Nevada because it wasn’t near and dear to our collective hearts like GA, AZ, WI, and MI are.

    But that was before Nevada turned out to be a critical state – with batshit crazy people running for Governor and Secretary of State – people who are wiling to publicly state that they have no problem with false / alternate slates of electors.  So Nevada in 2022 is important, and it’s a critical firewall for 2024.

    I would do a $500 match for donations up to $50 if that’s something I can do through a comment.

  44. 44.

    WaterGirl

    @KRK: Wow!  That would definitely help get us over the top!

    Are you up for that?  If so, you would wait to add your $500 to the thermometer until I let you know that the whole $500 has been matched.

    Just say the word!

    @WaterGirl: Really?!?  Well I think it is fabulous.  He does have a great smile, as well as exceptional lyric writing and wonderful guitar playing. And that little finger wag at the end just kills me.  Perfect all the way around. I’d like to know more about him.  Obviously an extremely talented guy.

    Just gave $50.  I was going to give to the Senate candidate in NV but concluded this might be more useful.

    Hooray hooray for KRK!  :-)

    These fundraising threads boost my cockeyed optimism to stratospheric heights. Thank you to all involved!

    @WaterGirl:

    I loved the video, and the singer has the sweetest face to go with his sweet voice.

    But I didn’t know his song was a parody of an existing song. Can you (or someone) say more about that?

  61. 61.

    A woman from anywhere (formerly Mohagan)

    @SiubhanDuinne: It’s based on that old Kim Carnes song “Bette Davis Eyes” which was a hit in (I had to look this up) 1981. (Yes, I’m old).  Fun fact I just learned: it was written by Jackie DeShannon in 1974

    ETA: I see OO got there ahead of me, of course.

    Watergirl,

    I was told there would be no math. Can you tell me where we will be after KRK’s match at 45 is completed and KRK has put in their matching funds?

  64. 64.

    WaterGirl

    @Torrey: Okay.  Bottom line for exactly what you asked for is $24,211.

    Showing my work: :-)

    We are at 22,366.  The previous angel has not added his $1,000 yet, he must be out and about.

    So 23,366 now (virtually)

    We are $155 into a $500 match.  So add $345 to 23,366.

    So 23,711 (virtually and projected)

    When that match is complete, add the $500 from the new BJ angel.

    So 24,211 (virtually and projected based on $500 match completion)

    And I just received email from someone offering a $1,500 match.

    So we are at 6x for the rest of the Nevada fundraising.

    Assuming that BJ peeps step up to donate toward the matches, we can definitely get there.

    I am going to send you email.

    Another $15. Thank you, Angels! Thank you, WaterGirl!

    So excited for 4D to expand in NV. Giving to them feels like we are actually making votes happen.

    Mercy

    Looks like this thread is still getting checked, so I’ve tossed another $50 in. Thanks for coordinating, WaterGirl!

    I have no life, I go nowhere :-) so I might as well spend my money saving democracy, right? I’m throwing in another $50. brb

    Done.

    Leslie

    Yay, more angels! I’m in for another $50. (Hoping you got my comment at the end of the previous 4D thread a few days ago.)

    This is wonderful, thank you all from Nevada! The national media aren’t giving Nevada much attention and we are also missing the Harry Reid machine this election – your donations could make the difference.

    We did it!  

    What a nice thing to wake up to on this Sunday morning.

    Big thanks to all the angels, all who donated, and to everyone who supported the effort with encouraging comments!
