What a glorious day on DU was yesterday

I don't know whether splitting GD had something to do with it, but until late at night, all the posts were full of happiness and pride and celebrations. Not a single word criticizing the President or, for that matter, other Democrats. And the wonderful, heart stopping photos of the rainbowed White House, Little Rock and Niagara Falls were the top.

Thank you all.

Yeah, it was a really bad week for terrible people.

And that is nice.

They don't come along very often. It is wonderful to be able to share those times with the good people of DU!

"fucking idiot", though that is the spot-on characterization.

I'm glad #11 over there lasted 4 1/2 hours before being hidden, so that a dozen or so people had a chance to reply to it ...

And yesterday was spectacular.

Between the Supreme Court decision, and related celebrations, and the Pinckney funeral and eulogy, yesterday was an emotional roller-coaster at DU unlike any other day in recent memory.

And to have all of that, in GD, without the primary sniping and nastiness, was truly glorious.

plenty of photos at this story from San Diego

You know how difficult it is to take photos in a room at beyond capacity? Not that I minded at all, but...
