If I violate an unwritten rule of social media etiquette, please feel free to mute/block me. I won't take it personally.
I see this app as an open social platform, but some people get offended if I make a comment or ask a question.
That's fine. Ignore me, mute me, or block me. No hate.

Leave it to WaPo to describe real Democrats as "establishment" Democrats. Poisoned bias.
But it has one thing right: Piker "boosted El-Sayed during the primary and appeared at his final campaign event in Detroit."
El-Sayed is gaslighting voters by pretending he isn't aligned with Piker.

“With lines like ‘They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves,’ she embodies the fears of Mexican immigrants, then and now — that an American society that works them to exhaustion will toss them like ‘the oranges piled in their creosote dumps’ that Guthrie so memorably described.”
“She sings ‘Deportee’ like the dirge it is — and then goes further. She recites the names of the Mexicans Guthrie envisioned on the plummeting plane — Juan, Rosalita, Jesús and María — with tenderness, not pity.”
“Musical giants such as the Byrds, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash and Pete Seeger had covered ‘Deportee,’ but no one with Parton’s mainstream fame. She released her version in 1980 as part of a concept album hailing blue-collar workers that was a companion to her hit film ‘9 to 5.’”
