The Dangerous Ones - Casey Anderson. Good protest song.

America the Beautiful - Ray Charles. Sweet and sad today.

Question. Is "Alligator Auschwitz" offensive to you?

Like it could be seen as belittling to what happened at the actual place. I think the answer is probably yes.

I have a confession to make. I still listen to Eric Clapton.

I feel so guilty.

Let me have it.

ETA: And I enjoy the Traveling Wilburys.
Should I just leave now?

Bill MOYERS and Joseph Campbell: the Power of Myth is replaying on PBS

While I'm at it. This series was a game changer to me as an atheist with a spiritual and a psychology interest.

Hannah Arendt on PBS: the parallels are almost total.

I'm not that familiar with her but I watched because of the DU people who quoted her in the past and I wanted to learn more about her.

So, (for those like me) she lived through both WW1 and WW2 as an adult and was passionate about philosophy. She was recognized as an important thinker at an early age.

The thing that stood out most to me was her recognition of the lies as essential to Hitler's takeover of the populace. It's not talked about enough IMO with Krasnov. Also, the fact that she was Jewish is essential to her experience.
1 hour 23 minutes . Hope the link works as I have both Passport and the app. It's well worth your time I think, especially if you don't know much about her other than some quotes, like me.

And thank you du for making me curious about her. You are invaluable.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia on way back to US to face criminal charges: Sources

I just opened my ballot and I don't know who to vote for. Any recs?

I went to the websites of both atty general candidates and I'm leaning towards Jay Jones. I really don't know much about any of the Lt gov candidates.

I'm leaning towards passing on both because I just don't have enough information.

Do you feel safe and validated (on the whole) on DU? If not, how can we help?

I just realized that someone who posted here a lot has not posted recently and I'm worried about them. It appears they had trouble with other posters not understanding.

It makes me very sad. I would like to do something about it.

PBS Nature: hummingbird rehabber, I literally love her

I've never posted to this forum before and I hope this fits okay even though it's not anything I personally saw. Let me know.

This woman is amazing and so of course are the hummingbirds she rehabs. You won't regret spending 53 or so minutes watching this.

I really want to get a hummingbird feeder now.
