Every single day we get introduced to a new level of crazy from the fuhrers that are trying to rule our world. Every single day we get numerous new horror stories BUT hope in the polls that a new situation covid normal might be around the corner. Here we are a solid community of progressive monsters of truth being given the tools we need to fight a very righteous fight against the very real threats that are upon us. DU gives us this. I heartily contribute financially to this site every month cause this fight could not be more important.
I am sure they know that they are appreciated, just thought I would mention how much I appreciate them and what they do. Please show your appreciation also, cause you know that DU uplifts your sanity daily.

(153,249 posts)I've sometimes seen people questioning how much money comes in....my take is, I wouldn't care if the admins spent most of their time drinking on the beach as long as they keep DU, an OASIS FROM THE INSANTIY, going

Love you guys forever!

(3,342 posts)for your hard work keeping DU rolling and Soph0571 for this thread in their honor. The day I found DU was the day that I learned I wasn't over reacting to the invasion of don dread into the oval office. I found so many wonderful diverse like minded folks.

Soph0571
(9,685 posts)But i appreciate it just as much.
Cha
(297,886 posts)only matters that you Appreciate it! 'cause that's what makes DU.. all of us!
I got a desk top computer in 2002 just to join DU.. I had no idea wth I was doing but was determined, after reading about it in the Nation mag(that I bought in NYC in 2001), as an "alternative news source"..
Dem2theMax
(9,656 posts)That made me laugh. We all know this is our first news source! This place is like one-stop shopping!
Cha
(297,886 posts)needed another news source than the m$m.
I turned off all m$m sources in November 2002.. and never looked back.

(2,972 posts)What Earl, Skinner and Elad have done is stopped us all from killing ourselves. DU is the perfect forum for people like us. It's well organized and moderated, and these three individuals actually give a shit.
I donate every year. We need this place.

BobTheSubgenius
(11,572 posts)...among the most rigourously-curated news dissemination sites on the Net. Even inaccuracies that bolster a progressive position are called out and corrected. That is so incredibly important and appreciated.
I can COMPLETELY rely on the news I find here, and that's not an easy claim to make.

(2,585 posts)Thank you for this forum where I can find my daily dose of sanity, the most necessary counter-balance to the daily injustices and outrages committed against those of us who are not rich. Hats off, and hugs for Skinner, Elad, and EarlG!

(15,374 posts)When DU was hacked on Election Night in 2016, I was practically suicidal.
Of course, that wasn't even the worst. The worst was that the entire election was hacked.
Thank you SOOOO much, each and every one!

(2,541 posts)I have been coming here since 2006 and am very thankful for that. Please dont ever change. This site is still as good today as it was the first time I found it. Every other site that sprang up during that era of Bush jr is either gone or inundated with ads now except this one and I have always appreciated that.
Thanks for all you do and please stay safe!
Mike 03
(16,616 posts)who make it work and make it so endlessly enjoyable. It is a haven of sanity in a dystopian trash dumpster.
It's the first place I come to when I flip on the computer, and the last website I check before I turn it off.
Some days, it's the only website I use.
It's magnificent, and so are the users.
