Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Shut up, hissy kitty!

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Books are my comfort food!

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

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

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Consistently wrong since 2002

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

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

The willow is too close to the house.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Special Angel Match – First Dibs for the Night Shift

We have a special Angel Match for the night shift because you guys didn’t have a chance at a similar daytime Angel Match last week.

Friend of the blog, Andrew will match the first 4 donations of $250 to the Four Directions Native vote effort in Virginia.

Your $250 + Andrew’s $250 = $500 which will be matched by the external donor match they found for us, for a total of $1,000!

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


Donate

We also have a continuation of the $500 anonymous Angel Match from earlier today that will match up to $50 per person.  (Also a 4x match.)

Our best bet for stopping the lawlessness, or at least slowing it down, is a big win in Virginia.  Early voting starts in just over 5 weeks, so we want to get the funds to Four Directions as soon as possible.

      In for $100.

      (As frequently discussed here, I grew up in Virginia and have family and friends there, so its weird sui-generis politics are still of great interest to me.)

      @Matt McIrvin: Thank you!  We are hoping that Virginia will be the beginning of showing them the door.

      By them, I do not mean your friends and family. :-)

      We are 4/5 of the way through this anonymous $500 match.
