Well, Congrats to Morning Joe's Mika B. and Joe Scarborough for finally doing what no politician could do and uniting the country. Both the left and the right have joined in hating them with equal intensity and have recoiled in disgust. Wake up early tomorrow and get your cup of Morning Judas at 6:00 a.m.. Maybe Trump can create yet another new cabinet and appoint them as co-heads: The Department of Groveling. #news

I practice gratitude daily. The obvious (that I’m grateful for my kids, cats, friends, a good job, my house, etc) always holds true. But I’m also grateful for what some might consider odd or trivial things.

Today I’m grateful to see blue in the sky. What about you?

I love you CoSoNauts!

And yes, I mean all the new people I haven't met yet. Thank you for joining us on this 7th year anniversary celebration.

Chipping in $7 each is moving that fundraising goal closer to the million dollar mark - oops - I'm getting carried away.

But it really helps!

In honor of CoSo's birthday, I've decided to go Pro despite my aversion to monthly commitments (I have made various prior donor box donations).

CoSo is a gathering of imperfect people--we have our strengths and our liabilities

But we come together in this place, thanks to @th3j35t3r with an intention and hope for better.

Every day, every time we are here, we are contributing to the greater good, participating in a solution rather than adding to the problems of manipulated online content.

Huge thanks to our host, for his hard work, vision, and sheer grit, and to everybody else for showing up.

#cheers & #CoSoLove on this birthday!

Just don't

I donated $20 to CoSo who can match or or any amount will help.
