Take a bow, DU - this is one of those days when reading here brought so much hope.

All of the wonderful reports from the No Kings events around the country - and so many of you provided first hand experiences.

Massed people against the orange asshole, compared with the cow flop of a little boy birthday "party" waste of money.

One of those days, for sure.

Saying how wonderful DU is more like self-serving fluff. We are a community. Solidarity, and community is essential in times like these. Piling on praise on how wonderful our little corner of the internet is political masturbation. Yes, it feels good. No, it gets us nowhere. Organize, rather than patting ourselves in the back. What we do in the real world matters. I salute and praise everyone on DU who got out and about today to defend the Constitution, and those who were there in spirit. Keyboard warriors less so. Discussion only gets us so far. Activism, fund raising, gets us further,

No, I think I got it right. What are we going to do with 'so much hope' in real life? Congratulations, DU. Now what?
