What I did after watching Rachel Maddow tonight 6-19-20

She reported about the hostile takeover of Voice of America and other media outlets by a Steve Bannon associate. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I replied to another DUer earlier in the week that I was going to become a star member again. I had moved and changed banks, and had not gotten around to redoing my membership.

No longer! I promptly got my credit card out, and swiftly chose the monthly donation option. I am a Star Member once more!

I sincerely suggest that all non-Star members reading right now do the same. We must not let these right-wing lunatics reduce our access to actual news. Donating is a step in the right direction!

Disclaimer: No Admin has prompted me to post this, nor do they know that I'm doing it. It is my friendly suggestion to make this site even better than it already is, plus sticking a thumb in the eye of fascists. A Two-fer!

I am proud to say that I have been reading and contributing to DU since 2004, and I want it to stay around for a really long time. Who's with me?
