Want to take a walk?

Tip a wheelbarrow of marbles of varying size onto a patio surrounded by steep cliffs. There are no railings. Toss some loose boards on top of the marbles. Fling a few handfuls of broken glass into the mix while squirting streams of oil into random spaces. Kick off your shoes and socks, tie a blindfold securely around your eyes, and put your wrists in handcuffs behind your back. Spin around a dozen times. Now, how confident are you in walking across that patio and back? That’s what it feels like to navigate a once-familiar landscape now under the pall of Trumpworld.

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.
