We passed the "show us your papers" and are well into the "authorities call you a liar, or even confiscate or tear up your papers. Even when you're showing them your 100% legitimate ID" phase of the authoritarian fascist takeover at this point. But hey, ya know, they have QUOTAS to meet
Phasers or photon torpedoes?
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.
