One of my favorite recordings of “O Holy Night” is free to download from SoundCloud. Artist is independent. Arrangement and backup are his own. Includes controversial and often-omitted verse:
“Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.”#OHolyNight #ChristmasCarols #LiberationTheology #Freedom #Emancipation

“More than half of the increase in segregation in the 2000s can be attributed to the rise of charter schools, whose numbers began to increase rapidly in the late 1990s.

«Federally appointed monitor…Neil Barofsky is ratcheting up his conflict with UAW President Shawn Fain, announcing another investigation into the union leader who rose to national prominence amid the successful “Stand Up Strike” against the Big Three automakers.

“The advantages of axial flux motors are obvious when you see one…. It's similar in diameter to the Tesla motor…, but…around one-sixth the length, a quarter of the weight at 12 kgs, and a quarter more powerful at 250 horsepower. It's a neat, resolved piece of engineering, and it makes the Tesla motor look like a science fair project with its messy, wasteful copper end-windings, hand-tied with Kevlar string bulging out of the stator.”
