Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

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

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

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

We still have time to mess this up!

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Consistently wrong since 2002

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Vaccine Venting #2

by WaterGirl|  April 2, 20215:11 pm| 111 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads, Vaccine Venting!

Finally, another thread to vent and share your “why is it so fucking hard to get an appointment” vaccination woes!

It can also be a place where you can share any hot tips about how to locate the vaccine in your particular state or area.

Plus, *stickers!

If any of the stickers speak to you, let me know which one you want.

Or, you can have the ever-calming Penelope sticker.

I Got the Shot! (Month 2) 5

*All hail MazeDancer for the stickers.

This thread is in the sidebar along with the I Got the Shot! threads.

I’ll add this to the sidebar along with the I Got the Shot! threads.

Update: for teaching and childcare-related jobs that President Biden has directed should be given at least their first shot by the end of March… that is part of the federal program that the administration controls.  So even if your governor isn’t on board, you should be able to get a shot through the federal pharmacy program.

Here is the list of pharmacies in the federal program, listed by state.  (from Scout211)
