Such a bad look on Italy. They should be clearly saying “no” to US ICE and all US military/terrorism. Right on, Mayor Sala, though:

Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said that ICE would not be welcome in his city, which is hosting the Feb. 6 opening ceremony to be attended by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, as well as most ice sports.

“This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt,” Sala told RTL Radio 102.

Right on! In nursing, some of us do 3.5 x 12 (3 shifts one week, 4 the other). I like it!

Suggestion for the last line :): My/Our fight for freedom brought me here.

Sorry for providing suboptimal help 😅. I’ve now got the melody in my head and understand you want to sing the whole song and not just BC, BC, BCCC
For others: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_ciao - watch the video with the accordion player
To be brutally honest, I liked the lyrics (and text, including 'gonna) of V1 better - both for metre (how it sounds singing) and consistency in feel (tone) of the song
I prefer the last line in V2, but you might find a better one
I think this may be my best suggestion of all. Put a few musical notes around the margins or some other heads-up that these are lyrics to sing (hold onto this paper). “sing along” or “lyrics”. Musical notes might be subtle but effective
You could maybe move the lower left text about the origin right beside/under the “Bella Ciao” title

I wish I could sing with you and the group of people at the protest you’ll be going to! ❤️ Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao Ciao Ciao!!! 🎶

Thanks, friend!

Fair. I don’t work in an M-F 9-5 industry either. I’ve never heard of 4x10. Is that a food service thing?

It’s on a Friday. Aren’t weekends Saturday and Sunday?

I predict that the military will be deployed on streets in many states to intimidate voters and manipulate the midterm elections this November 2026. I wonder if many Democrats who will actually vote against and stand up to Trump will get elected… Other than that, I haven’t a clue what’ll happen going forward, but I’d bet on less versus more resistance, unfortunately.

I find it very eerie that so few people I know irl, in Toronto, are talking about what’s going on south of the border. For most, it seems business as usual.

The pro-fascist capture of news and social media, so many people only accessing the news through social media nowadays, and the dumbing down of online literacy and critical thinking through ‘genAI’ (eg, search summaries, chatbots) really helps Trump and every fascist shitbag like him commit their evil.

To be honest, I’m having a hard time coping with the state of the US and rest of the world (eg, Ukraine, Palestine, Venezuela, erosion of online privacy) and most people’s business as usual approach
