Very thankful for Democratic Underground today [View all]

I've been a member since July 20, 2001, and I'm grateful for the people who make this one of my favorite places on the Internet. It has been a source of information, of course, but it has been a place to meet like-minded people who share similar sentiments in this bizarre place we call a world.

I'm also grateful for it being a refuge. In the next few months, that will be even more important, and I'm glad that this community exists as we all cope with the new reality that we're all facing.

Thank you all, friends.
