A recent online article covered diverse subjects, ranging from a beloved entertainer's legacy to immigration and community activism. The report noted the recent death of Dolly Parton, referring to her as "America's angel." It was asserted that President Trump subsequently posted an A.I. image depicting himself and Parton "fraternizing," a sight the article claimed was "nauseous." The piece further characterized this image as a "grotesque and creepy sacrilege." It stated that Parton had met with nearly all Presidents since Nixon but had never met nor spoken with Donald Trump. Additionally, the article claimed Trump twice attempted to award her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which she reportedly declined both times. The piece also suggested that Parton championed causes such as LGBTQ rights, literacy, the environment, science and vaccines, and immigrants.
Transitioning to immigration, the article highlighted a song reportedly performed by Dolly Parton, originally written in 1948 by Woody Guthrie. The song was presented as an exploration of "America’s casual use and disposal of immigrants." The report referenced a specific historical event that occurred five years before "Operation Wetback" and "77 years before Trump’s ICE pogroms": a plane crash in the Los Gatos Canyon outside Coalinga. This incident involved 28 Mexican laborers and four other individuals. The article noted that contemporary news reports of the crash only named the four, referring to the remaining 28 simply as "deportees." This outcome was cited as a source of "outrage" for Guthrie, who also reportedly addressed concerns about bosses allowing food to rot to inflate prices while people went hungry. The article recalled Parton singing this "ode to the perpetually unappreciated migrant laborers," including the lyric, "All they will call you will be Deportee..."
The discussion then shifted to current immigration efforts, spotlighting Izzy Ramirez. Ramirez was identified as one of the "top ICE resisters" in Anaheim, previously known for holding meetings at Liz’ Untold Story Bookstore. The report indicated that Ramirez has since moved on to Battleground Los Angeles, where he writes for what the article described as the "invaluable LA Taco." His recent appearance on Jacob Soboroff’s morning show on MSNBC was noted, with the article observing Soboroff's apparent familiarity with him. This television appearance reportedly followed the launch of an LA-based ICE Watch Newsletter by Ramirez.
