Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

News from Four Directions Montana and Nevada, and AZ Candidates

This post is in: 

Just 4 weeks out, and the fight goes on!

In Montana, two particular counties are refusing Native voters equal access to the ballot box, and they are being taken to court.  Clicks can help give the story legs, so please take a minute to watch this short clip from Montana local media to find out more.  The speaker is one of our Four Directions peeps.

We have met our Montana fundraising goal!

Based on the needs on the ground we are moving back to Four Directions Nevada, where there is unique opportunity for us  to make a difference, funding organizing on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Elko County, NV.  It’s a small tribe, but in Nevada, a few hundred additional votes could mean the difference between a win and a loss in Nevada.  I’d like to try to get them $20k, but until we clear a couple more of the existing thermometers off the board, we are setting the goal at $15,000.

OH MY GOSH, YOU GUYS DID IT!

YOU FINISHED OFF BLUE ARIZONA CANDIDATES IN JUST 45 MINUTES!

Our Blue Arizona Candidates thermometer is up to $32,000, and we are trying to get to $35,000 – to give each of our 7 key candidates $5,000.  An Angel has come forward to say that if you guys get the thermometer to $33,500 with donations of any amount, they will pop in the final $1,500.  Hoping we can get this done today!  Reminder about what’s a stake in AZ.
Whats at Stake in Arizona  (besides everything!)

  • 11 electoral votes for Harris
  • 2 flipped US House seats
  • Ruben Gallego’s Senate seat, which would help Dems keep the Senate.
  • Democratic majority in the AZ House instead of Republican control
  • Democratic majority in the AZ Senate instead of Republican control
  • a possible AZ democratic trifecta (governor, state House and state Senate)

    Angel Matching!

    To get us started for the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Nevada, we have a $2,000 Angel who will match up to $250 per person. This Angel match is from friend of the blog, Andrew!

    As always, to be matched, tell us about your donation in the comments or by email to WaterGirl.

    To get us to the top for our Blue Arizona Candidates, we have an Angel who will pop in the final $1,500 if we can get the thermometer to $33,500.  So anything donated through the thermometer will be matched at any dollar amount, as long as our donations get us to $33,500.  No need to tell us about your donation for this one, but you can if you want – it helps inspire other people, I think!

    Forget holy cow, holy shit, you guys did it for Blue AZ Candidates!  In 45 minutes!

    To quote the Family Stories post from the weekend,

    “Shit, I mean, fuck!”

    That thread is the gift that keeps on giving.

    I should mention that we now have a $1,000 Angel match for Osborn in Nebraska!  Up to $250 per person will be matched.  Who is anonyous!

    So that matching is the same as Four Directions Nevada – up to $250 per person, but a different angel.   I forgot to mention that the Nebraska Angel is friend of the blog, Andrew.

    @dnfree: That is awesome, isn’t it?  I’m glad to see someone else is excited about it, too.  Thank you.

    edit:  I had to do quite a bit of math with the $1,500 Angel match at the end to make sure everyone got to $5k!

    I hope I’m not too late to get in on the Angel match: I just donated $50 to 4DNV. My wife and I also sent 100 postcards between us to voters in Nevada. It’s our neighboring state, and since Utah is nowhere close to a swing state, NV seemed like a good place to devote our all-too-meager energies.
