Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

In my day, never was longer.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

NCAAT Fundraising Update

I have a quick update on the NCAAT fundraising.

We are at $17,000, which is awesome.

Side note: For some reason I can’t quite recall (!) I didn’t manage to get any client work done last evening!   I am not where I need to be, so I will be MIA for most of today.  So this one is simple.  No reporting of NCAAT donations is necessary, just get the thermometer to $21,000, please. :-)

Why?  Because we have a Balloon Juice Angel who will complete the match for us as soon as the thermometer hist $21,000.

This Angel writes a check rather than adding to the thermometer, so for now I have changed our goal to $21,000 to be more clear that once we hit that amount in the thermometer, we will have met our goal!

Because we have a double external match + a BJ Angel, all donations to NCAAT of any amount are 6x!

You’re still free to note a donation in the comments to inspire other people, if you want, but no reporting is necessary.  

I am going to take a quick peek to see how the debate is being reported and then it’s work, work, work for me.  Hoping that between Kamala being was so great last night and him being so weak, that maybe the media wasn’t able to go with their prepared take on the debate.  (Either he won or it was a toss-up.)

    Quick note about the Nebraska fundraising.  Waiting for our $2,500 Angel to add their donation, seven though the thermometer says $5k, we’re really 3/4 of the way to our $10,000 goal!

    I predict that NCAAT will get even more value for our Jackal Dollars after yesterday’s Taylor Swift endorsement of Harris.

    NCAAT is doing GOTV outreach to youth… and there are a whole lot of Swifties in that demographic.

    Just donated $270.  I had to get the thermometer over the 18000 mark, otherwise it would have bugged the hell out of me.
