Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

Goodbye, Mr. Rogers

Today started on a sour note and deeply disturbing note. Fred Rogers died yesterday. If you don’t know who he is, then you have no idea how much he meant to a couple generations of kids. This is really a terrible loss for everyone.
