as well as dKos archived. But so what?

Closing DU to all but members won't keep out spies who already are registered or will register.

But closing DU will cut off most ad revenue, make discussions here less effective because of very limited reach, and make gaining new members who are on our side less likely.

Look, there are millions of Democrats online who are posting at least occasional messages about Trump and ICE.

ICE can't arrest them all.

But they'd !ove it if those Democrats would confine their statements to private forums, or stop posting.
