Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I can’t take this shit today. I just can’t.

Shelter in place is one thing. shelter in pants is quite another.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

The house always wins.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

I really should read my own blog.

Let there be snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

The math demands it!

Shocking, but not surprising

Something seems odd about that, but i have been drinking.

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

Nevertheless, she persisted.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

I don’t care how fun he is after a few whiskies. fuck that guy.

It’s been a really long fucking year.

I’m going back to the respite thread.

Naturally gregarious and alpha

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

We have all the best words.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Four legs? good! two legs? we’re not so sure…

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Wisconsin: Tireless, Persistent, Tenacious, Dogged, Determined Efforts To Bring It Home

by WaterGirl|  October 16, 20208:15 pm| 116 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads, Political Action, This Fight Is For Everything

It looks to me like Wisconsin organizers are leaving it all on the field.  No regrets.  i respect that.

Organizers are working hard, on every front, to bring Wisconsin home for us in November.  We all know about Ben Wickler’s impressive efforts, and most of us know about Souls to the Polls in Milwaukee.  But what about the other work that’s going on in Wisconsin?  How much do we know about that?

VidaLoca was kind enough to bring two inspirational articles to my attention this week. I believe that he is an organizer in Wisconsin, and some of you may remember him from his guest posts here a few years ago. I wanted to share the articles with anyone who might be interested, and let you know that VidaLoca plans to be here for the thread in case anyone wants to talk or has any questions.

But first, a bit of levity from one of the great movies of all time.  This may be all of us on November 3.

Outraged by Attempts at Voter Suppression in Georgia? You Can Help People Vote.

This post is in: Open Threads, Political Action, Vote Like Your Country Depends On It, What We Can Do / Playing to Win, This Fight Is For Everything

Feeling Angry, frustrated and outraged that Georgia once again doesn’t have enough voting machines to handle the turnout in Georgia, and people have to wait in line for hours?

We can’t add polling stations, but you can help turnout in Georgia!

Angry at Seeing Voter Suppression in Georgia, Again? You Can Help.

Sign up to call newly registered voters and other voters of color in Georgia on Thursday from 3-8 Eastern Time  to help make sure these voters know about early in-person voting.

Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC):

Early, in person voting began yesterday in Georgia. Sometimes called advanced voting, early voting can help voters avoid crowds or cast their ballot when it’s more convenient for them in the weeks prior to Election Day. Unlike Election Day, Georgia voters do not have to vote at an assigned polling location during early voting.

For this week’s SPLC Virtual Phone Bank, we will be calling newly registered and other voters of color in Georgia to help them find an early voting location nearest them along with the information they need to cast their vote early.

Using your own phone in your own home, you can help make sure Georgia voters know about early in-person voting. Our Virtual Phone Bank will provide you with a complete script, the names and phone numbers of voters, and easy-to-follow instructions to record the results of your conversation.

Register below to join SPLC supporters from across the country to help Georgia voters cast their ballots early in person!

Georgia Early In-Person Voting Power Hour
Virtual Phone Bank
Thursday, Oct. 15
3-8 p.m. Eastern Time

SIGN UP NOW

If you’re not doing this, please tell us what you are doing.  We can do this.

Update: Promoted from below, a suggestion from Mousebumples for people who cannot contribute to political campaigns, for one reason or another.  Food and water for folks who are standing in line to vote! Chefs for the Polls

Brian Schatz: Roe v. Wade, Mike Espy, MJ Heger, Barbara Bollier, Election Protection

I listened to an interview with Brian Schatz on the Lovett or Leave IT podcast last night, and so much of what he had to say is important enough that I took the time transcribe the quotes below.

Q:  You brought up the Supreme Court battle…

People don’t think choice is really gonna be taken away, and yet that’s exactly what’s gonna happen.

These people are absolutely committed to taking away women’s reproductive choice. they are going to do it as a matter of constitutional law.  Now, we have recourse at the state level and maybe even in the federal government at the statutory level.  But that’s actually what’s going to happen.
