Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Bark louder, little dog.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

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

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

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

This really is a full service blog.

Come on, man.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

New Widget

If you look to the right, you will notice that we have partnered with Change.org to put up an activism widget. You will be able to easily participate in online petitions which will not only add your name to the petition, but forward letters to your congresscritters when you sign. Additionally, this website receives a small stipend every time you sign one, so it is a win/win for us.

There will be any number of issues that you can participate in, and it will be a permanent addition, so I hope it is not to harsh on the eyes for you delicate flowers who manage to complain about literally everything on this website.

Right now there are petitions about HCR, blackwater, and the recent SCOTUS ruling.
