Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

Trump should be leading, not lying.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

We Are So Close – Let’s Do This! We Did It!

Update at 6:30 pm:

The $2,500 angel CHECK has been mailed, and as soon as the final angel to adds their $2,000 to the thermometer, we will be at $30,000.

Balloon Juice peeps rock!

The NC thermometer is at $21,000 right now.

All we need to do is get the thermometer to $24,000 with your donations today – and we will have hit our $30,000 goal for Phase I of NC Black Alliance Campus Engagement!

For this last push today, there’s no need to send an email or list your donation in the comments. (Though you can if you want to!)  At this point all we care about is that the thermometer gets to $24,000.

THE MATH

If you can get the thermometer to $24,000 – with donations of any amount – then our two angels today will add $3,000 or $3,500 – whatever it takes to get us to exactly $27,500.

Plus we have a paper check for $2,500 from one of our Angels whose match was met this week, and that will take us from $27,500 to $30,000!

I am so excited about the plans with this group.  Let’s do this!

Open thread!

    Betting Scandal Could Be “Final Nail In Coffin” For Tory Party, Say Gleeful Labour Sources

    Rishi Sunak’s election campaign was dealt another blow on Thursday after it emerged that a second Conservative Party candidate was being investigated over a bet on the date of the general election.

    Carol Vorderman, the former leader of the Scottish Tories waded into the fallout of the alleged betting scandal: “What an absolute shit show. Firstly, I mean, how tawdry is it?” she said.

    She described it as akin to “insider trading”

    For anyone who’d like to learn more about the North Carolina Black Alliance, here’s a link to their website. They are doing a LOT to improve the lives of Black North Carolinians! It’s exciting that we’re supporting one of their efforts.

    Just got us to 23,500.  Couldn’t do much, but I consider it a birthday gift to myself.

    25 smackers from old FastEdD. My old bass player friend Dave moved to NC from CA. Add one more lib-er-alll to the NC voting rolls. He’s working with the local Dem clubs. He’s a good guy, except he likes to get too drunk and smash things up.
