I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

This @psychologytoday.com piece by @rossgwhite.com explores what fuels dehumanization, citing past work by Francesca Prati, Richard Crisp, & Monica Rubini showing that counter-stereotype exposure reduces prejudice and helps re‑humanize others. 🧠💙 www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-...

We often hear about the importance of ‘controlling the controllables’. But real progress comes when we shift our relationship with the emotions that the uncontrollables can provoke. There’s nothing marginal about the gains that will bring. #TheTreeThatBends will help you make the shift.
