DU has been my 'go to site' for 20 years

[Tom Rinaldo]

46. 18 and counting. So much has changed on the internet over that span...

It seemed like at least half of the people on it did so through AOL accounts back then, and Amazon was mostly thought of as a river. So much else has come and gone, but DU remains the top news source on the internet in my opinion. We have thousands of members searching every corner of the web for important and/or useful information to share. We get fresh perspectives from really thoughtful people, often we do effective political organizing. We get breaking first hand news accounts. And then, on top of all that, we get an amazing and enduring community. I am so grateful to everyone who makes DU work, starting with, but not limited to, the core of Administrators who started DU and have kept it alive and vibrant.
