Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

He really is that stupid.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

    @BlueGuitarist: Thanks for that!  Mousebumples sent me the same article, so I thought I would add the link here, but you beat me to it.

    @WaterGirl:  The money quote from that article.

    I believe we all have a patriotic and moral obligation to vote against candidates who have helped this conspiracy along, even if we are not fully comfortable with their opponent or would not vote for them otherwise.

    Kelly helped this conspiracy along, working to overturn the 2020 Presidential election.

    That is not “conservative,” and it is not American.

    Kelly is unfit to serve on our highest court. I hope you join me in voting for Janet Protasiewicz on April 4.

    Reading the WaPo to do some research on the ‘Real Time’ reporting of the Battle of France 1940 and ran across ….

    Late to the thread, but I’m here! Hoping to get a final 30 done and in the mail before we leave town for a few days.

    We’re dropping off our ballots before we leave too. Could mail, but… I don’t trust DeJoy. 😒

    @Mousebumples: That is so great-enjoy your time out of town! And thanks so much for encouraging us to write postcards. Will be getting a bunch more postcards so can write again for the next election coming up.

    @delphinium: Awesome! I’m glad to share my GOTV-From-Home advocacy!

    I don’t know what’s next, but I’ll try to have (hopefully) something to look forward to postcarding for, for Election Day on April 4. I don’t think there are plans for a thread tomorrow or Saturday – though I’ll defer to WaterGirl. Could still do a music thread, if there’s interest? 🤷‍♀️

    We sent off our last packet (of ten) more this morning – for the Fox Point area where we also wrote in the name of a Senate candidate.

    Thank you for organizing this!

    @mvr:

    yay!
    Each voter there can cast 2 votes to replace Rs with Democrats who can be crucial votes if elected.

    Mailed off the ones I did Sat. I’m skipping tonight but will get in on the next election.

    Marie is still under the bed, which is where she went when new people showed up. She is eating & using the litter box. I’m working on projects in the room and occasionally singer to her (What’s Up Pussycat, meooowww meow-meow).

    WaterGirl

    @BeautifulPlumage: I was hoping we could get an update on Marie.

    Is she meowing back at you?  Or do you include the meowing in your singing?

    I like to sing to Mr. Bear sometimes.  Oh-oh black kitty, bam ba lam, oh-oh black kitty bam ba lam, black kitty has a toy, bam ba lam…

    @kalakal: Ha!  I will have to remember to use that song in a post when (hopefully) Trump is indicted.

    There must be other songs in the same vein, but I can’t think of any right now.

    mvr

    @kalakal: Good songs. But usually I take the singer’s perspective on “I fought the law”. (I once sang it out loud when I took out a good bit of my oversized driveway with a sledgehammer.) It would be a shame to ruin it by making that Trump’s perspective.

    Thanks to the excellent example you’ve all set, I did 20 postcards today and took ‘’em to the post office!  I also voted for mayor. Vegging out tonight though…

    @Narya: Every postcard helps!

    On the April 4 election night post, I will have the stats for how many postcards were sent with the Voces addresses.

    It’s definitely enough to make a difference, especially in a close race.

    Someone who worked to overturn election results has no business being a judge at all, let alone on the Supreme Court of a state.

    Mousebumples

    @Narya: Thanks for joining us!

    I’m just about done for the night, too, but hoping our efforts made a difference!

    I’m writing letters to Wisconsin. Please remind me that this GOTV shit is going to have some impact. I’m feeling pretty disheartened about this country and its people right now.

  44. 44.

    WaterGirl

    @TheTruffle: What research there is shows that postcards can have a real impact on election turnout.

    The addresses from Voces are for folks with an 80-100% pattern of Democratic voting, so if we turn them out, the odds of them voting Democratic are seriously in our favor.

    Plus we try to make the case for the candidates we want them to vote for.

    If you are writing postcards, you are making a difference.

    In a previous WI supreme court race, the Republican won by only one half of a percentage point!

    So keep doing your part, and have heart!

    @WaterGirl: Good. I’ve been feeling down about the state of this country. As in: I’m thinking either the fascists get thrown out in election after election, or this country breaks apart into red and blue America. And to be honest, the GQP is talking about a national divorce.

    Oh sweet! I hope I’m not repeating information here, but Brian Tyler Cohen just did an interview with Judge Janet and it’s excellent!

    EDIT: I’m not! It’s really a great interview.
