It is all so surreal living through this madman's EOs on Orders from Putin and being enforced by his Brown Shirts.
Who knew we'd be re-living the early part of what Germany had to endure in the 20s & '30s.

(317,976 posts)tell that in advance. Perhaps others in Canada and the US(who are NOT "united" anymore) saw that, too?
I could never stand to listen to one word.
So Grateful Canada has PM Mark Carney & Patriots here do too!

(131,378 posts)I first went to Bill Maher's website after Kerry lost the election and Republicans were so nasty. It was a mixed discussion forum and though I could outwit those idiots I didn't want to spend time doing that. Some Democrats
mentioned the DU. I looked. I loved it.

(317,976 posts)I was in NYC On New Year's Day 2001 with my sisters and their families and saw a Nation mag on the news stand.
They had an article about alternative news sources and Du was one of them. I bought a computer just for DU.. and learned to navigate it But it took awhile.. didn't join DU until July 2002.. and the rest is History!
Yeah DU is great.. No permanent trolls.
I didn't know I had a passion for politics, either. I just started paying attention because I wanted to make sure our SS was SAFE! Little did we know 2o something years Later!

(131,378 posts)I remember fascism is on the rise. But computers changed my life. I can get my thoughts out over time which is how I communicate best. Every day I feel I know a bit more about human beings. I just hope we all together make a difference.

(2,922 posts)Weird thing is, when I'm at my office, most of them show. And THAT damned computer is SO slow that I've got to do something about it, like perhaps switching to Windows 11 or whatever.
Edited to say that I DO see mine.
On edit.
