“Bella Ciao" is an Italian song dedicated to WWII partisans.
It’s based on a 19th century folk song, sung by female workers against harsh working conditions.
It is now an anthem for the oppressed women in Afghanistan and Iran.
Stand with the women of Afghanistan and Iran!
“Putin is a traitor to Russia
Hundreds of thousands of our soldiers are dead. He’s killing Ukrainian children too.
We need to rise up against him. There’s 140 mln of us. I’m not afraid. I’m too old for that.”

#MAGA hate it because they cannot argue with it.
It's Trump - in his own words and exposed as a failure and serial liar.
It's the antidote to Trump's poison.
The reason (most) people to go therapy is because deep within they feel like something is wrong with them. Or, that they’re broken. And they want someone to affirm they aren’t. We have so much shame around our humanity. I create content to show we’re all so much more alike than we are different. We all experience and want the same things. All of us want security, to be loved, and to be free. We live in a culture that consistently sells the idea of division and fear. Because it’s profitable. And because dysfunctional systems thrive when we’re all in survival mode. I believe in my lifetime we will expand human consciousness. This will lead to more community, more creativity, and more collaboration. Humans are meant to thrive, not just survive.
I wanted to pay my own small tribute to the great #ChristyDignam. I had an isolated vocal of "This Is" so I played a LIVE (warts and all) piano version just to get that experience of playing behind that amazing vocal one last time..
Rest In Peace Christy, you were special🎹❤️🙏
