Look what the Bush Administration and Wall Street got away with. This country engaged in torture. Often they tortured completely innocent people!

The entire media acts as if nothing happened.

There are many decent, law-abiding people who end up with serious criminal records because they are subjected to repeated citations for nonsense offenses that they can't afford to pay or don't have time to go to court to deal with because beat cops are under pressure to meet their quotas.

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.
