Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The jury literally has a bell they can ring to force Trump to show up on command. Greatest thing ever!

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Consistently wrong since 2002

No one could have predicted…

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

I am pretty sure Katy Tur wasn’t always such a bootlicking sycophant.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Within the Margin of Effort – 25 Pairs of Boots On the Ground in AZ

by | 71 Comments

This post is in: ,

We did it!  We raised $27,000 for Worker Power in Arizona.  That funds 27 people on the ground in AZ for a week, 27 people knocking on doors to get out the vote.

We have a new anonymous Balloon Juice Angel – and another $1,000 Angel match!  

We are so close to raising the 3,677  2,917  $1,752  it would take to meet our goal of funding 25 pairs of boots on the ground in AZ, and there are no more Balloon Juice angels waiting in the wings.

Can we do this today?  

Here’s a link to an article about the Worker Action contribution in turning AZ blue in 2020.

For the remains $725 on the final match, up to $50 per person will be matched – if you post your amount in the comments. Even if you were already matched by another Balloon Juice angel, the clock resets with every new Angel match – so you can be matched again!

The goal is to put 25 pairs of boots on the ground in AZ, and we are just over 25 already!

Boots on the ground:  we have funded 13  15   16   17  18  19  20  21   22  23  24  25 pairs of boots!

25 down, and we did it!

The cowboy boots (#18) are in honor of Avalie’s dad.  She said he’s a bright blue 81-year-old dot in a very red state!

Let’s win this!

    @Mike E: Yea, mahi, black fin tuna, yellowtail and mutton snapper and a couple of big AJ’s. The taxman took half of one of the AJ’s and most of a big grouper.

    @Leslie: Thank you!  We are $525 toward the match.

    But I think someone just snuck in a $500 donation without saying a word so we are just $250 away from another pair of shoes!  Thank you, whoever you are.

    I’m in for another $25. I’ll email you a link for my old favorite pair of boots (if this one gets us to the next pair).

    ETA: Missed it by THAT much!!

    I haven’t made many donations this cycle for various reasons (some good, some bad), but I’m in for $50 today. Gotta stand with the jackals.

    In for $50 – thank you for doing this! Now to make a few GOTV calls (mostly leaving messages about early voting locations and times).

    Okay, that was $300 more in donations and we were at $625, so that’s $925!

    Just $75 more to make the $1,000 match, and $1,677 needed to put all 25 pairs of boots on the ground.

    OpenThread – ICYMI, Elie Mystal has a thread on the college affirmative action arguments in the SCOTUS today. It’s crazy-making. :-(

    The first case is SFA v. North Carolina. This is the case against a public university, which Ketanji Brown Jackson is allowed to participate in.

    Already, you're going to hear a lot of white FedSoc people who are against Brown v. Board of Ed suddenly support it.

    @randy khan:    @CaliLurker:

    Okay, we are at $1,000 from our current anonymous donor!

    Look for the thermometer to jump any minute.

    As soon as that happens, I will add one more pair of boots, and then we will be down to just 1 more pair needed!

    Hand wrote 60 GOTV letters to Arizona last week, so thanks, Balloon Juice Angel,  for the chance to double-down on that personal investment.  I chipped in $50 today.

    We just hit $25,100!  But we still have $725 left on the final $1,000 match and the donor is willing to keep going for the whole $1,000!

    If you’re up for it, and you want to match the $725 that is left, we can get to 27 pairs of boots on the ground for AZ.

    For this final $725, we can match donations up to $250.
