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...
Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.

It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.

The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

They deleted us from history and called it education. I’m restoring what they tried to destroy.

They burned the evidence and rewrote the story.

ERASED isn’t a book — it’s a reckoning.
Read it before it disappears. Share it before they erase it again.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk will make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined.

Still wondering if income inequality is out of control?

It's American Education Week.

As a former elementary teacher, I am disgusted that Republicans are waging war on public schools and teachers.

Major US cities are experiencing outbreaks of violence caused by armed gang members. These thugs are masked and dangerous. They attack and kidnap people off the streets and at their places of work. The group should be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. They call themselves ICE.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.
