A few hours ago I posted a <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/7/29/1784397/-These-Revolutionary-Times-a-blue-wave-of-inspiring-women-candidates" target="_blank">These Revolutionary Times</a> diary featuring excerpts from interviews with some of the exciting women candidates who have been coming forward to run for office this year. In the process of putting that diary together I found way more quotes than I could possibly have squeezed into that diary, so tonight’s $27 Quotes is a companion piece to <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/7/29/1784397/-These-Revolutionary-Times-a-blue-wave-of-inspiring-women-candidates" target="_blank">tonight’s TRT</a>. (With $27 Quotes, however, in addition to inspiring quotes from inspiring women you also get pictures of Noble Fur!) rss@dailykos.com (Nova Land) 27Quotes AmandaDouglas KaraEastman MO-04 NE-02 NobleFur OK-01 PeggySeeger ReneeHoagenson SaraInnamorato SummerLee _1784440 Mon, 30 Jul 2018 00:29:02 +0000 $27 Quotes, plain-spoken edition https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/11/5/1712936/--27-Quotes-plain-spoken-edition Welcome once again to a <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/user/27%20Dollars" target="_blank">$27-group</a> / <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/user/The%20Political%20Revolution/history" target="_blank" title="">Political Revolution</a> open thread — a weekly place where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy some inspiring quotes, good music, and (most importantly) a picture or two of Noble Fur. I was away last weekend and unable to post a $27 Quotes diary, and I’ll be away again next weekend. So no crypto-quotes tonight, since I won’t be able to post answers next week -- just plain text quotes (and some spoken ones, for those who prefer listening to reading). Let’s get started! rss@dailykos.com (Nova Land) 27Quotes BernieSanders DonnaBrazile ElizabethWarren NinaTurner NobleFur PeggySeeger PramilaJayapal _1712936 Mon, 06 Nov 2017 01:07:43 +0000 $27 Quotes -- a special Three Amigas edition https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/6/24/1674948/--27-Quotes-a-special-Three-Amigas-edition Once again it’s time for a Saturday night <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/user/27%20Dollars" target="_blank">$27-group</a> / <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/user/The%20Political%20Revolution/history" target="_blank">Political Revolution</a> open thread, featuring some inspiring quotes, some good music, and a picture or two of foresterbob’s cat Noble Fur. Usually I feature political quotes in these diaries, and usually I encode the new quotes before posting them so that folks who like to decipher secret messages can have some fun and good mental exercise along to go with the quotes. But last week half the quotes I spotlighted were political ones from people in the real world and half the quotes were from valued Kossacks about things in the Daily Kos world. This week all the quotes are from valued Kossacks about things in the Daily Kos world. And this week, like last week, none of the quotes are encoded; they’re all in plain text form, for easier reading. As those of you who read last week’s <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/6/17/1672702/--27-Quotes-special-no-coded-messages-edition" target="_blank">$27 Quotes</a>, or who read Bob Johnson’s diary <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/6/19/1673216/-Some-crazy-ass-banning-going-on" target="_blank">Some crazy-ass banning going on</a>, or who read Cthulhu’s diary <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/06/20/1673411/-Please-consider-reinstating-mahakali-overdrive" target="_blank">Please consider reinstating mahakali overdrive</a>, or who read Arilca Mockingbirds diary <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/6/22/1674050/-8-days-later-delphine-Mahakali-Overdrive-amp-Knotlookin-are-still-banned-with-no-explanations" target="_blank">8 days later, delphine, Mahakali Overdrive & KnotIookin are still banned</a>, a number of long-time members of our Daily Kos community got nuked last a week and a half ago. Steven D and bobswern were two other victims of the nuclear incident, and I believe their banning is as mistaken, and as harmful to our community, as the bannings of delphine, Mahakali Overdrive, and KnotIookin, but tonight’s diary is dedicated to the three wonderful women some are calling The Three Amigas. But they aren’t the ones being quoted! No, tonight’s spotlight is on inspiring quotes from other members of the Daily Kos community. Some of the quotes come from people who have often agreed with The Three Amigas, but I am especially pleased to feature quotes from people who more often disagreed (sometimes rather heatedly) but who still had the courage, decency, enlightened attitude and family spirit to speak out on behalf of these members of our community who were suddenly banned with no explanation. (Ten days later, despite repeated requests, there is still no explanation.) Before I continue, I’d like to mention for the sake of anyone unfamiliar with these $27 Quotes diaries that these are intended to be positive. Usually I feature political quotes that I think are uplifting statements about progressive principles, policies and politicians. These diaries are about spotlighting people who have said good things worth remembering, not about attacking people in our progressive community who have said or done things we disagree with. Tonight’s diary is intended as a tribute to the Three Amigas and a spotlight on the many good people who have spoken out in their support; it is not meant to be an attack either on Kos or the help desk people. I have a great deal of respect for the help desk people, and while I wish they were able to answer the questions many of us have raised over in the help desk about why these bannings occurred I understand that they may not be able to do that. If you comment on this diary please do so in a spirit of honoring these women, and honoring the people who have spoken honorably in the help desk threads and here on the main site. If you want to say things critical of the site or site management, there are many other places better suited for that than tonight’s diary. Thank you! Well! After such a wordy introduction, and realizing there are a lot more words ahead, how about a little good music? Here’s one of my favorite Peggy Seeger songs, as sung by Judy Small. rss@dailykos.com (Nova Land) 27Quotes Delphine GoodKossacks JudySmall KnotIookin Mahakalioverdrive NobleFur OpenThread PeggySeeger PeteSeeger TheThreeAmigas _1674948 Sun, 25 Jun 2017 00:46:11 +0000 $27 pension quotes https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/5/13/1661430/--27-pension-quotes Once again it’s time for the Saturday night <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/user/27%20Dollars" target="_blank">$27-group</a> open thread, with a few inspiring quotes, a little music, and a picture of foresterbob’s cat Noble Fur. <div class="dk-editor-embed embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 center-block"> <div class="remove-embed-content">x</div> <a class="iframe_placeholder youtube dk-embed" href="//youtube.com/watch?v=3VwSMnfj4Ic" data-src="//www.youtube.com/embed/3VwSMnfj4Ic">YouTube Video</a></div> rss@dailykos.com (Nova Land) 27Bucks 27Quotes AlFranken BernieSanders Crypto-Gremlins KeepOurPensionPromisesAct NobleFur OpenThread PeggySeeger PeterDavid Puzzles TammyBaldwin _1661430 Sun, 14 May 2017 00:01:03 +0000
