Valeriano Orobón Fernández, born on this day in 1901, was a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist theoretician, trade union activist, translator, and poet who wrote the lyrics of the revolutionary song "A Las Barricadas".
Orobón believed in the organizational power of unions, believe that they would have a major role in reorganizing society in a more libertarian fashion. Orobón was also strongly opposed to the communist (i.e., Soviet) ideas in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
Shortly before his untimely death from tuberculosis, Orobón wrote the words of "A Las Barricadas" to the tune of "Warszawianka 1905 roku", itself a well-known Polish revolutionary song. The anti-fascist tune became the anthem of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), and one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Civil War.

I had no idea who this Ms Rachel person was before zionists tried to cancel her but after looking her up, it's really the most comical target imaginable. There's a lot of weird stuff on Youtube Kids but Ms Rachel seems so sincere and wholesome, she has all these videos with Elmo, going after her of all people is wild.
Edit: I watched the first 5 minutes and it stands out to me that during the ABCs song with Elmo, she's actually singing harmonies to the tune. I feel like I wouldn't bother with that if I was singing to toddlers and it's kinda sweet that she does.
Edit 2: "If you ask any parent in the United States to choose between abandoning Ms Rachel and being Hamas, you're going to get everyone to choose being Hamas." - Matt Lieb
I have to/get to watch a lot of her with the long term patients at work. I think she's great! I've seen her essentially turn off toddlers' squirming when we start IVs, I do not understand her powers but I do appreciate them. Plus you can sing "hop little bunnies, hop hop hop" to pretty much any kid now and they all get it
