In 1945, thousands of German refugee children were living in camps in Denmark.
Danes had spent years under German occupation. Helping those refugees was not a popular position to take.
Quakers such as Elise Thomsen chose to help anyway - a reminder that compassion is often easiest in principle and hardest in practice.
David Rovics wrote a song about Elise Thomsen's work in post-war Denmark:

Capitalists want us to think the commons are theirs. Just because they have the power to enclose them and charge us rents for access, and the failure of conscience to do so. But in the words of David Rovics;
"It’s the commons, our right of birth
And to you who would enclose the land all around the Earth
Our future is your downfall, when we cut this ball and chain
You who’d sacrifice the public good for your private gain"https://www.davidrovics.com/songbook/the-commons/

Partial Victory in Campaign to Restore YouTube Channel
– '...On January 9th, 2026, my channel received its first Strike. On prior occasions when songs that violated their policy on support for violent criminal organizations were taken down, I received Warnings. A Strike is worse -- 3 Strikes and your channel gets deleted. [...]

@scriptkiddie Got the perfect song for this epic rant;
"With our sweat we built the railroads, built cities on these shores
But because you own the money you say that it’s all yours
We laid the phone lines and the pipelines and then right before our eyes
You say these things our taxes paid for you now will privatize
Privatize the hospitals, privatize the schools
Privatize the prisons for all those who break your rules" -

Here's a video of anarchist folk singer David Rovics giving a brief introduction to his song Burn it Down, then launching into a rousing live rendition, complete with audience participation;

If you ever get the chance to sing along with David on this, I highly recommend it : )
Oh and @davidrovics, happy to help you set up your own PeerTube channel so you can embed videos from that on your website, instead of linking to YouTube ; )

"Rodney Coronado was arrested for a speech
That he gave one evening by the San Diego beach
He stated his opinions, they sounded just like mine
And now they want to put him behind bars til 2029The prosecutor said the problem was the speech it showed intent
I couldn’t figure out exactly what he meant
You can’t describe an action and say you thought that it was swell
So what’ll happen when we sing this, who the heck can tell"@davidrovics, Burn it Down

They swore an oath
Beneath the Southern Cross
They’d stand together
And break the license laws
From twenty different nations
They gathered here as one
In Ballarat

One last post about the Ecosocialism conference:
It was awesome to get to hear #davidrovics play at our activist centre. It also happened to coincide with my birthday which was a nice treat.

Since long before October, we’ve watched as every time
The Israelis deny their hourly war crimes
The western leaders then accept whatever they say
Is the reason why their missiles once again went astray
Always giving them the benefit of the doubt
Accepting the assumptions, what their nation is aboutAnd now watch them justify the missiles that they sent
To bomb the starving children dying in their tents- #DavidRovics May 2024.
