Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

This blog will pay for itself.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

No Justins, No Peace

Not all heroes wear capes.

Let there be snark.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

This really is a full service blog.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Cole, when it comes to calico cats, restraint is overrated.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

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

No one could have predicted…

People are weird.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

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

Ah, the different things are different argument.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Yikes, looks like we need an open thread!  So here we go.  I’ve been mired in work but it sounds like the 3 big speeches last night were all A+

Also, a brand-new Angel came forward today, so we have a $1,2500 Angel match in addition to the double external match, so donations will be 6x.   Big thanks to exbarrowboy!  Pretty sure there’s a story there.

You know the drill, to be matched, tell us about your contribution in the comments or send me email.  Matching up to $100 per person.

Update: our new Angel just told me “no limit” on the amount to match per person, until we complete the $1,250 match!

Open thread!

Update: Here’s a sneak peek at the Native-made Star Quilt for our upcoming raffle for Four Directions Montana!

      Repost from downstairs, we may have had a Moti hit here this month.

      A prominent Sacramento-area Sikh leader’s pickup truck was fired upon on a highway near Winters in what his organization and an international expert believe was an assassination attempt.

      Satinder Pal Singh Raju, a Woodland resident and a leader in the Khalistan movement to establish a homeland for Sikhs, as well as two other Sikh activists were unharmed in the shooting, which happened about 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 11 along Interstate 505. Officer Rodney Fitzhugh, a spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol’s Woodland office, said gunfire was reported on I-505 near County Road 27 in rural Yolo County, about 11 miles southwest of Woodland.

      According to a CHP log of the incident, Raju’s Dodge Ram 1500 was impounded as part of the investigation. The FBI would not comment on whether it was investigating the incident, or if it believes the shooting was part of a growing domestic and international threat it has been tracking. The threats involve foreign governments and are known as “transnational repression,” in which overseas states target perceived enemies living abroad.

      But an intelligence expert and the group Sikhs for Justice believe that the shooting was unlikely to have been random. They allege that India, which has been behind several plots against Sikh leaders in the U.S. and elsewhere, could be behind the troubling Northern California attack.

      @WaterGirl: I think you can keep the fundraising posts up even though there’s another Open Thread on top of it. These are kind of their own thing and it’s good to have one handy.

      @H.E.Wolf: I like the way he thinks.  Paraphrasing:

      “Let’s move ahead quickly and try to get the Civics Center funding completed so we can move on to the next one!”

      I couldn’t agree more. :-)

      Let’s see high school students get set up or registered to vote–thanks to the brand new Angel, WG, the Civics Center, all who contribute & volunteer–an awesome right of passage for our 18 y/o students! And the quilt is so beautiful.

      Eagle flies, so General Grant rides again.

      Gonna “fight along this line if it takes all summer,” all fall, and a chunk of winter to make sure we win and the GQP can’t steal our votes.
