Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

When we show up, we win.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

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

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

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

Petty moves from a petty man.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

On Wisconsin!

Let’s see if we can get this done!  After that we have a couple of senators who can really use some help.  More about that later; one thing at a time.

Four Directions AZ

We have a $1,000 double-angel match for Four Directions AZ.  That’s 3x until we hit $1,000 in matches!

Worker Power Fall GOTV

We have a $1,000 double-angel match for Worker Power.  So that’s 3x until we hit $1,000 in matches!  That should get us to $20,000+.

THEN we have an angel who will donate $5,000 for Worker Power as soon as the thermometer hits $25,000.  For that part, you won’t even need to tell us about your donation.  Whatever goes into the thermometer to get it to $25,000 will be matched with the Angel’s $5,000

The final $5k will be by check, so we’re going to lower the thermometer goal by $5k because the check will never show up in the thermometer.  But Worker Power will still get the full $30,000.

AZ Candidates

We even have a $2,000 Angel match for AZ Candidates, so that’s a 2x match.

Right now, we’re at about $2,500 for three of the candidates, and $2,800 for the other four.

Open thread!

    +$100 each for all 4 thermometers.

    39 Days until Election Day – though I’m going to drop my ballot off on Saturday. The clock is ticking!

    Walz says we’ll sleep when we’re dead. We need to give the folks in the trenches what they need to keep going, if we can. We’ll be able to recharge in November.

    Thanks WG, angels, jackals, and everyone in the trenches.

    She asked nicely! Let’s get it done!!

    Forward!!

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @SiubhanDuinne:  Thank you.

    I made a post for Helene check-ins, like I did a couple of years ago for the fires out west.  It’s in the sidebar at the top, to make it easy to find, no matter what’s on the front page.

    I’m out for now. Loki’s lymphoma is back so we’re going to be doing another round of (expensive) chemo. On top of that the poor guy has a nasty bacterial infection. He’s had a really rough time since his best friend died in the spring. Anyway, it’s postcards for me, for now.

    @KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)): Poor guy. I’m sorry, for all of you.  Hugs all around, and don’t even think about feeling bad about not donating!

    I still have 700 postcard stamps that people donated.  If you’re doing many postcards, send me email and I’ll send you stamps.  you don’t need to be paying for postcard stamps when you have all that going on!

    I sent postcard stamps to 4 people this week, so please don’t be shy!

    $25 for each. I’m writing postcards but I don’t need stamps.

    the money is helping!  I have now seen ads for the Seamans (the Daughter/Father combo) and the Prop 139 (No) to kick the abortion restrictions off the books on the MST3K Fubo channel.  So they are getting seen and will aid immensely in name recognition and with emphasis on local issue outreach!!

    This is a big deal!

    Just reading about North Carolina (gift link to FTFNYT)

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/27/us/as-mark-robinsons-campaign-crumbles-north-carolina-republicans-seethe.html?unlocked_article_code=1.OE4.hFCb.qWxM2CMzF8lx&smid=url-share

    And both their state legislatures are supermajority R by one vote. Long story short, another $250 for Four Directions because North Carolina needs us, too!
