The snark brigade is always waiting in the wings to pounce about something here.
I try not to be surprised by it or agitated by it. But they're here and I think they believe it is their solemn duty to express their contrary opinion, whether they believe in it or not. It usually only takes a post or two before they show up but they're always here.
I appreciate your perspective. It's comforting to know that you care and that you have taken the time to validate the community at large here on DU. We are who we are, warts and all but it's rare to see this. Thank you. ❤

Winter On Fire, Ukraine's Fight for Independence, full documentary
Full, free, Netflix documentary Runtime 1:37:50
Some background here:
This powerful Netflix documentary will help you understand what’s happening in Ukraine
February 28th, 2022 at 3:21 PM
By Andy Meek
https://bgr.com/entertainment/this-powerful-netflix-documentary-will-help-you-understand-whats-happening-in-ukraine/
The wall-to-wall news coverage tracking all of the latest headlines out of Ukraine stemming from Russia’s invasion has underscored the livestreaming nature of modern warfare. One thing the news coverage is not so good at? Context and backstory. If that’s what you’re after, then the Netflix documentary Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom is a great place to start.
This 90-minute film was released back in 2015 and chronicles a period in Ukraine’s history from not so long ago. Eight years back, to be more specific, when the so-called Maidan Revolution ousted a pro-Russian government led by then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. This Oscar-nominated Netflix doc tracks the revolutionary movement that sought to re-establish true democracy in the country. And, moreover, you can draw a straight line from it to the events happening there today.
The documentary wastes no time in throwing you, the viewer, right into the maelstrom of a violent protest. While the screen is still black, in the film’s opening seconds, we hear protestors yelling. The sound of gunshots. And then, a dateline.
“Day 92. February 20, 2014.”
Do something, someone says. Do something for the revolution.
“I’m filming,” a man answers back, in Ukrainian.

Nicole Olson and her son Porter, 10, look at his baby pictures at their home, Thursday, Dec. 17, 2021, in Phoenix. Porter was relinquished at birth through what’s…

Updated: Dec 22, 2021 / 01:54 AM PST
PHOENIX (AP) — For years, Nicole Olson had longed for a baby and gone through a rigorous and emotional adoption process. Then Olson and her husband got a call asking if they’d like to adopt a newborn. That day. As soon as possible.
The baby had been relinquished through what’s known as a safe haven law. Such laws, which exist in every state, allow parents to leave a baby at a safe location without criminal consequences. The laws began to pass in state legislatures in the early 2000s in response to reports of gruesome baby killings and abandonments, which received copious media attention. Infants are at the highest risk of being killed in their first day of life, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Olson rushed to a Target, filled four carts with baby stuff and was home with the newborn boy by dinnertime. Ten years later, the baby Olson and her husband, Michael, named Porter is thriving. He’s athletic, funny and has adjusted well after a rough time during the pandemic, Olson said.
Safe haven laws drew attention this month when U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett raisedthe role they play in the debate around abortion rights. Barrett made the comments during a hearing this month on aMississippi law that would ban most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy — and possibly upend abortion rights established by the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion throughout the United States, and upheld by the court’s 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
