Work songs have a long tradition in America, & many are closely associated with the Black Music Project's notion of #wokesongs because they're more than just about relieving oneself from work's arduousness; they're about examining social structures —& unfairness of the system. #LaborDay #WorkSongs

Biden need 60 Senates and a Democrat majority in the House to get things done.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Biden IS the only man who can win in 2024. The last group of Democrat candidates proves that point.
