Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Let there be snark.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Let me file that under fuck it.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

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

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

No one could have predicted…

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Open Thread & Reminder: Zoom with VAAC on Tuesday at 7:30 ET

I want to invite everyone to what I think will be a really special zoom on Tuesday evening at 7:30.

Come and meet the folks from Voting Access for All Coalition!  You will meet some of the people who founded this organization two years ago, and you get to meet all of the folks who are in the video below.

I know that “zoom” and “fun” don’t always go together, but I can’t help feeling anything but excited and inspired when I talk to the people from VAAC.

Yes, You Can Vote in Michigan—New Video!

Send email to WaterGirl to get the zoom link.

Please join us in the zoom tomorrow!

Totally open thread.

    I have only heard from a couple of people so far, and I really hope there is more interest than that, even with the site issues.

    They are such great people, I would hate for them to show up and have almost no audience.

    I would rather donate than zoom. If you put up a donation thread before the zoom maybe the account total may assuage the disappointment of the zoom participation.

    Just sent you an email, WG. They seem like a good group who’ve identified an important and often overlooked niche.

    I think so, too. With 300,000 people impacted and the goal of getting 100,000 of them to vote in November, that alone could swing Michigan.

    Can’t wait! And you can always attend the Zoom without speaking or turning on your video camera. WaterGirl isn’t going to call on anyone :) This one will be particularly engaging.

    Like I told WG, when she told me about it, they seem like an awesome group, but Zooming (with 2 kids age 2 and under) isn’t really workable, unfortunately. I hope it goes well, though!
