Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

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

When we show up, we win.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

No one could have predicted…

Let me file that under fuck it.

So many bastards, so little time.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

    Leaving a comment so you won’t feel lonely. Thank you for being optimistic. I’m just not there — too tired and discouraged.

    @zhena gogolia: Appreciate the comment.  Maybe if you listened to the zoom for an hour you might feel a bit less hopeless.

    @zhena gogolia: It’s an hour.

    Only encouraging you to try it since I felt better after our phone conversation with Brendan a month or so ago.

    I get it if you’re not ready yet, but giving up is the only sure way for us to lose this battle for human rights and democracy.

    @zhena gogolia: I’m in the “fall down, get up” school myself.
    Crushed by all the damage being set loose on us,

    then engaged and hopeful anytime people are discussing things to do, approaches, ways to rethink things, or effectively change it and fight back, or win.
    And then overwhelmed again, and so tired. Etc.

    just saying I relate.

    Just attempted to sign in but zoom doesn’t seem to like me anymore.

    Will try to rectify but have missed this one.

    See Ya
