Getting darker, more bitter, more heartrending. No more jokes. He has had it too.

He is my favorite and he is revealing more and more of himself with each artwork.

I don’t feel like there’s anything to celebrate tomorrow. I feel like a hostage. With apologies to Robert Heinlein, I feel like a real-life stranger in a strange land.

True, nobody on DU voted for the orange bastard, but we need to be doing everything withing our power to end this madness. Complain to our friends and neighbors, write letters to Congress Critters, protest / civil disobedience, contribute to Democratic candidates, and of course VOTE.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
