Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

He really is that stupid.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

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

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

We have a special $500 Angel Match from frosty this morning.

frosty will DOUBLE-MATCH up to $25 for anyone who has not yet donated to the current $30k thermometer.

That means 6x matching until his $500 is gone.

Match complete!

$5 = $30

$10 = $60

$15 = $90

$20 = $120

$25 = $150

To be matched by frosty, tell us about your donation in the comments or by email to me.

Thank you, frosty!

Oh, and of course we have $16k to go before we reach our goal, so all donations are welcome . :-)


Donate

All donations are still matched by the external donor. So $10 = $20 and $ 250 = $500, etc.

      I have not donated to this effort yet.  Donated $25.

      Question will there be a similar effort (either with Four Direction or another organization) for New Jersey?

      New Jersey is more solidly Democratic, so we are not fundraising there this time around.

      After we finish this effort for Four Directions, we are going to focus on 2 specific Virginia house seats to help keep the majority AND make the majority less slim.

      So great to see these new donations.

      We are halfway to frosty’s $500, and halfway to the $1,500 for the Native vote in Virginia.

      $25 of that will turn into $150.  The other $225 will turn into $450.

      Together, that’s $600 for the Native vote in Virginia.

      @kalakal:  JanieM slipped in just seconds before you, and she got the last of the $500 6x match.

      But in the past when this happens, I have sometimes received email saying that someone will cover the match they just missed.   I will let you know if that happens.
