...very few things are more important. I think I'll communicate my thoughts to DFA staff at some point.

Since NY I have been pondering the way technology can be used against people. I am not depressed, just taking a time out, smile. I am encouraging people to keep checking their registration. I work my precinct and we have nearly everyone on mail-in ballot. It would help if we had investigative journalism but that seems to have vanished altho I have begun to find alternative media on You Tube.

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.
