In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity. Do listen. I wrote about the history here: snyder.substack.com/p/o-generous...

Sexual Abuse report —behind every statistic is a survivor who was failed by systems that protected the powerful. We stand with survivors. Believe them & demand consequences for their abusers. The #EpsteinFiles is personal for women.

Trump is soft on crime!

It's an invisible need… an invisible center… helping invisible people. Meanwhile, I’m haunted by the invisible impact of the insatiable greed that’s so widespread (and sadly, celebrated) in our multi-millionaire and billionaire class. 🧵 5 of 9

Solar is quite a solution for Australia!

Want to listen to some music that speaks to the moment we are living in? Check out “Ride at Dawn,” my new release! It’s on all streaming platforms and YouTube, too. Here it is on Tidal: tidal.com/album/470422...

And that’s why he hates them so much.

Wow. So lovingly blissful.

WTF

Originally aired in March, this Working People Podcast with @melbuer.bsky.social revisits the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire and the Uprising of the 20,000—an urgent reminder that today’s labor struggles are part of a long fight for worker power.

Wow, this is so sad. In the late 80’s it was, “every child a wanted child” implying the importance of family planning. The irrationality of these cuts, while giving insane tax cuts to the elite rich is nuts.

This is well worth your time. I am a big fan of both people and this conversation is so full of great insights that I want to listen again so I can add my comments to it. The kind of depravity they talk about exists in many people who are not the ultra rich, too. I found myself thinking 1/2

Hey-that’s me in the lower right corner :)

I don’t think these outcomes are talked about enough. Getting measles is not like scraping your knee. Sadly, many parents have been conned into exposing their beloved children to irreversible disabilities, by charlatans who slip accountability for their crimes against children and society.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

The two genders

Wow-congrats, IU!!

All that glitters is not gold Often have you heard that told. Many a man his life hath sold But my outside to behold. Gilded tombs do worms enfold.

Liberate yourself from the myth of Amazon domination!!

Yay!!

Read this to better understand the significance of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). ⬇️

Ok wow. Propaganda is a helluva drug. It has rotted the brains of people in the regime. And remember, they “conveniently” leave the “A” off of DEIA because A is for accessibility, ie helping people with disabilities lead a life where they are included.

It’s like a buffoonish drama troupe has taken over the executive branch and cabinet. They are terrible actors who are winging it, doing improv but their performance sucks. Revolting to watch, with horrible real-world consequences.

We need a new EPA-get these crooks and liars out!

I love the sounds of all creatures singing.

Describes our elite-Hubris Syndrome.

This is beyond shocking at this point. Dangerous people doing bad things. Denial of reality is psychological violence.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

Posted a short bit about the push to redistrict the US House districts in Indiana. leslie398.substack.com/p/indiana-gop

I dunno about you, but I think letting pedophiles run the country is a bad idea.

I love watching sign language! These weirdos ruining things gotta go

Super good! This is the way.

Wow. I can’t help but keep repeating that Vought has a child with cystic fibrosis. Someone who should have empathy and compassion is utterly devoid of it.

“Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage” @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 👇 #BBC

MAHA MY GLUTEALS.

So we can’t enjoy pasta from Italy any more? The regime says Americans have it too good-no more Italian pasta for us!

Wow.

The Presidential Walk of Fame weirdness is cause for impeachment!

Woah. As an advocate for people with disabilities I call this human rights abuse! People with disabilities are vulnerable and need protection from ICE. This truly is a crime.

Thank you Valparaiso!!

As a Hoosier, I find this so sad. Who does it serve to bring down a great University? It’s idiotic, really and shows weakness, not strength.

I wrote my song Ceasefire Now (on my new release “Ride at Dawn”) about the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, but you could zoom out and look at the war on the poor, too. It’s so absurd for wealthy people to attack poor people. It really is “One world or no world/Ceasefire Now.”

Haven’t seen their STFF posts in a while. Love these guys!!

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
