We are doomed if this is the best we can do.

She is incredible with the fascism in her dumbass white supremacist questions.

And once again the red-browners who want to play into Trump’s hands are attacking Jeffries for not advocating violence. 🤔

keep letting them hit you, not fighting back will show em it's why they get away w what they do, they count on people bitching at others to be a pussy. you are playing into their hands, bullies go after easy targets not ones that fight back. even predators don't go after prey that bites back

Jefferies speak like a normal person challenge (impossible)

Donald's a mediocre White man & like countless mediocre White men before him, he is on a revisionist campaign to change the truth. youtube.com/live/2yUQ6Qc...

🎯

you'd didn't hear an answer because he didn't say anything. he's too busy making sure his hand gestures move in tandem to his words

Uh oh. That's dangerously close to taking a stand. Did someone slip amphetamines into his Maypo???

Racial arsonist, what a hard hitting but true statement. More sadness but requires more resolution to keep my moral compass correct along with good Americans

Notice he doesn’t say “Republicans”. Notice that he doesn’t say that slavery no matter who the victims are is BAD. His high $ political consultants apparently are unaware that Maxwell described the mostly white children she & Epstein victimized as sex “slaves”.

We know without doubt that DJT is a racial & gender bigot!

What a useless jack ass. Just shut the fuck up and step aside. We'll take it from here. Meanwhile, go find your balls.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social needs to go. The Democratic Party needs a whole rebuild because right now all I see are AIPAC funded wussies who are more concerned about protecting their donation coffers than saving our country. We need action! Save all the useless statements and DO SOMETHING!

What has Jeffries been doing on his extended vacation, and when are we going to vote him out of office once and for all???

He could have just said racist.

Trump is not a racial arsonist — he’s simply a racist. Call it what it is. Don’t over complicate.

Oh, how edgy ...

Blah blah blah. Do something

Mr Jeffries is sadly not meeting the moment.

Jeffries: Waves his hands and speaks sweet nothings and thinks everything magically disappears. The man is an A grade idiot and an AIPAC donor. The idiot man can fuck right off. Here’s a hand wave in response. You can 2x it if you want.

Dana is asking her usual dipshit questions trying to bait a race war. Disgusting.

When CNN runs angertainment, who needs Fox?

If Trump wants, CNN could be shut down and Dana would be out of a job. Of course she likely has enough money to survive.

Annnnd what will Jeffries do about it besides talk??

Send nice letters...

How come we never see Jeffries during the week?

MAWA 👀

Is Dana Bash a real person or a fembot?

Jeffries: “blah, blah, blah.”

When was the last time he went to the Smithsonian? He is being fed all this information by his racist toadies.

What a fucking joke this guy is. So fucking disappointing. Step aside

Maybe Chuck can write another letter

So, what is he going to do about it? Same as in the last 7 months? Nothing

"Go left, young man!"

WE WANT THE ENTIRE REDACTED EPSTEIN FILES! The only redaction should be Private Personal Information and Victims names. #DOJcoverUp #PedophilesProtectingPedophiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #TrumpIsGuiltyAsFuck #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp #Epstein #Epstein #Epstein #Impeach47 #Impeach47 #ArrestThePresident

Where are the news, Jeffries?!

The Civil War never ended, it just became a cold war for a few generations

Speaking of the cold war... Putin never stopped it, and knew he could easily manipulate the confederates. I mean, look at this 1996 Russian military textbook and what it says about how to handle the USA: Source: wiki, Foundations of Geopolitics... Brexit, Ukraine, and more all came true.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, he’s a racist. racial arsonists aren’t a thing. you’re terrible at this my guy.

Weak as water

Trump is a racist and pedophile.

Dems needs to say this and loud! Enough with the politician talk.

Ugh. This dude. What in hells name is a racial arsonist? Call a racist, racist. This mealy-mouthed pablum is just off-putting.

Jeffries is a terrible spokesperson for every issue. The guy has no conviction.

He’s not “behaving like.” He is a racist. Just say it damn it!

his dad was a well known KKK member well known publicly DonOld was racist since the 70s when he and his dad got sued by HUD for not renting to blacks in NYC. or when he took out a full page ad in NYT to help falsely convict the Central Park 5 in the 80s, continued to defame/slander them since then

🙄 what in the hell is a racial arsonist?? Jeffries is low energy. EPSTEIN.

Once again dems can't speak plainly. "Racial Arsonist". What the fuck is that? Just call him a damn racist and not try to get all cute.

GMTA.

Jeffries has long been an awkward communicator. He was picked for leadership for his inside the beltway skills, which have zero value during this historical moment.

He's really missing the moment. All of them are. Pelosi, Schumer, Shiff, Jeffries have all proven to be useless. Jeffries should step aside. He gives the impression that he's a place holder until after the mids when dems hope to win. It's all so f'ed up. We need warriors not these people.

I don’t understand why they hold back. We are so tired of the high road. Dems in the White House need to call it what it is. trump is a racist pig!

I agree. They speak in such cute language. Real politician language and they must think it's so clever. I'm so sick of it

It’s obviously not working! The politician talk is not offending republicans. The Dems needs to take notes from Newsome. He is using trumps tactics against him and has the republicans up in arms. We need more of that.

I agree with you. We need warriors. People willing to stick their neck out.

Go Hakeem!

I’m fed up listening to people like Schumer, Pelosi and Jeffries. We need more people like Bernie, AOC, Crockett, Ojeda and Beto. These are people I’d follow.

Let’s give Donald a preview of 2026 #VA64 secure.actblue.com/donate/stace...

"Racial arsonist" is dumber than the phrases on that list of words that centrists want to ban.

We need to find a fundraising site to get Schumer and Jeffries out of leadership; or some way of getting them to step down

So disappointed in he and Schumer’s silence during the chaos of the last month or so. Where the hell are they and what are they doing about these ongoing authoritative moves??!!

While black republicans stay silent.

Yes, but I also worry that 🍊 again is serving as useful idiot for the Dark Enlightenment tech bros, this time by normalizing slavery in furtherance of their “ideals”—among them that democracy is bad & that we should just allow them to become our overlords.

All Democrats, including Speaker Jeffries, are busy protecting people who didn't vote for them from the people they voted for. God bless them. Hold the line people 😁

#performancepolitics

“Racial arsonist?”

Jeffries with more words. Great.

What’s he doing to stop it? They literally spend time talking about Smithsonian while they are invading blue states, Dems have no money and our leadership has been on vacation and attacking mayoral candidates of their own party.

He's the minority leader, sweetie children. What the hell do you expect the minority to be doing?

If slavery wasn’t that bad I propose reverse genocide, build some ships, exact replicas like those my ancestors were chained in. Round up every Caucasian for a transatlantic Journey to Africa, keep them for 246 years in the same heinous colonial conditions let you have a go and then call it even 😒🤷🏾‍♀️.

👍👍👍👍👍

bsky.app/profile/figh...

I'm tired of hearing the obvious from our "leaders". We know these things. What are they going to DO?

MAGA likes the whole “owning people” part 😮‍💨

Jeffries is weak and ineffective. Dems need stronger leaders. NOW.

He's not behaving "like", he is racist.. raised by a racist father and grandfather, both klansmen

Have you misspelled ‘arsehole’?

Jeffries is a useless pile of lies and talking points that he uses to appear relevant and appears to know what is going on all while do nothing about it. While on CNN, of all places and don’t even get me started on Dana.

Meanwhile, here in Florida, Conservatives have moved to ban "The Diary of Anne Frank." The Right has quickly moved from "Slavery wasn't so bad." to "The Holocaust wasn't so bad."

Or do you mean a “racist”? WTF is a racial arsonist?

Jeffries keeps winning the Schumer chuckles award instead of Opposing Trump.....

Jeffries gets tv time. Bla, bla, bla. We need someone with more fire to protect our democracy. Jeffries just likes being seen.

Burn baby burn.....

Wallpaper has more personality than this guy 😂

call him what he truly is....

And I’m not going to do anything about it… ~Jeffries

jeffries is one of the few Americans who can fight the fascist leaders directly and he chooses to do nothing but give lame quotes. “Racial arsonist”? Tf is that?

When we get past this tRumpmare, the Smithsonian museum should dedicate an entire section to the PedoPervPrez and the treasonous traitors, Guardians Of Pedofiles. #NeverForget Release The Entire Unredacted tRumpstein Pedofiles

“Hakeem is useless He’s a younger version of Chuckie, minus the letters. Get someone who is going to raise hell. There is no message from these tools other than “we’re not trump!”

Omg we are not powerless unless we give in! Democrats are not pushing back hard enough and need to play by the same rules … just better! Imho we have lost our democracy when military starts coming in terrorizing its citizens! Get the f off your ass!

Don't bother trying to explain anything to Dana Bash.

Slavery made plantation owners very rich. That's Donald point. That's it.

This guy is fucking boring and does not have any of his priorities in line with the people who are being affected

So you're saying the people being affected approve of slavery? Because that's the only way this reaction makes any sense.

No my point is about him as a person not what he is talking about in this clip.

OK, so hear me out, maybe when replying to a clip, you should try this thing called "responding to what is in the clip". I know, radical concept, but I think it might be a real winner.

I mean how about go nanny someone who cares what you think. Also a radical concept you might find out is a real winner

I'm sorry, that second sentence was word salad. Was there a point you were making?

Don't sit there and tell us how bad Trump is we already know that. Tell us what you were going to do to counter this mess

Heee, 340 million americans 400 million guns. And you still don't know what to do? 😁 Didn't trump pardon you all in advance?

Not only is there no redeeming aspect of slavery (or colonialism, empire, genocide) but those countries, like the US and UK, which not only fail to properly atone for these horrors but insist on being proud of them, are doomed to self-destruct under their own hubris, division and hate

if donald trump wants to bring slavery back, he should become a slave himself. try it, donald. show us how great it was.

This suggestion on it’s own, is so outrageous and stunning, we should be granted 48 hours to calm down before evaluation. This is not crossing the line. People suffered agonizing pain and humiliation.

Oddly bold language for him.

You need a LEADER! Not THIS UNCLE TOM!! I know what I just said... I WILL GET WORDS for this... I DO NOT TRUST HIM!! NOT EVEN A YANK!!

💯

New York Democrats who aren’t socialists need to shut the fuck up for losing twice to Trump. Which is sus because he is also from New York and was close friends with them.

Imagine being a non-socialist New York Democrat and having the temerity to speak at all for this horrorshow their repeated and ongoing failures have inflicted on us all. New York Democrats run the House and the Senate for the Democratic Party and all they do is give New York’s son Trump wins.

I guess he couldn't think of something fancier like arsonesenal racialist engineerian.

Jeffries is so weak. He can’t even say that Donald Trump is showing his racism, he’s treating him like a misbehaving child rather than that Nazi he is. We need some real leadership in the Democratic Party not this milk toast

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social here's what you say, Trump is an adarent racist and his supporters are also racists, real fucking easy, call it out.

A racial arsonist? Jeffries, can you lose your cool and maybe get mad? Maybe shake a fist, lossen your tie, show some sweat?

Not sure if y’all haven’t noticed yet. Trump knows he doesn’t have power over these places. But he is getting them by the wallet. By refusing to fund them unless they do what he says. It’s financial blackmail.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social “behaving” like one? He IS a racial arsonist

I agree but these responses are so lackluster that no one is listening.

This entire conversation re Smithsonian and slavery is among the most shameful chapters of Trump’s Presidency. Tragic, sad! Trump will suffer greatly for this emotionally. It will be his legacy. All those involved in that conversation are despicable humans completely unaware of realities of slavery!

Damn, those are such strong words from the leader of the opposition party. I guess the midterms will be a real mandate now.

Just call him a racist and stop fucking around with wording.

It’s like this - don’t count the deaths then Covid went away 🙄

Trump won't stop until he closes all MLK museums/churches/schools, streets. Trump won't stop until he closes the African Museum in DC....trump won't stop until/unless Democrats, GOP, voters, THE MEDIA, do their job and remember history....because trump sure as hell is repeating the darkest days

WTF is a “racial arsonist” trump is a screaming frothing at the mouth racist white supremacist nazi

Jefferies has already turned to big corporate donor/Owners. Sick of voting for lesser of evils instead of someone we desperately need. Candidates not funded by billionaire backers they own MULTIPLE businesses with! Gavin is a Getty oil corporate shill. Truth why Ca gas tax is highest #GreedyGavin.

Soon #taco and the rest of those criminald will tell you that the Holocaust also had its good sides. #slavery

It has and ALWAYS will be about racism and misogyny with gop, trump and his maga ilk supporters. ALWAYS.

why does Dana Bash always look like a shotgun is pointed at her head just off camera?

Why? Why does this guy not STEEL HIS SPINE? He needs to wake up! This sh&t is happening and he needs to punch back hard!

Yes he is!

I’d like yo hear a bit more anger & fire

Is this language direct enough for the hand-wringers who want Minority Leader Jeffries to transform into a superhero unbound by the constraints US voters gave him? It won’t matter to the bad actors, I know.

Nope, there's already Weird Irrational Jeffries Haters commenting that he was "too nice". Man, everyone's going to really make me start fangirling Jeffries just because I have a massive pet peeve of when people have utterly irrational reactions to someone/something, aren't they.

I knew I was asking too much. He is minority leader of House Ds, a role that requires him to keep his caucus together, which he has done. He used his “magic minute” to delay passage of that horrendous budget & gave anyone listening fodder to call House Rs with.

He cannot conjure 5 GOP votes out of nowhere. He is a human and can’t speak forever to completely stop the majority from passing bills. He cannot force Mike Johnson to uphold the Constitution. Other rhetorically gifted Democrats can and do use their skills. It takes all kinds of people.

I honestly think hate against Schumer and Jeffries is likely astroturfed. As if cannot be a coincidence both have views that earned them the ire of Free Palestine which is very astroturfed and we always get this massive outpouring of hatred in response to when they do objectively reasonable things.

It's highly likely that basically Free Palestine has become a targeted harassment movement that exists to crap and piss on both Schumer and Jeffries from here until eternity just for existing, independent of either actually doing anything objectively unreasonable outside of that single topic.

They’re in danger of becoming a wedge between Democrats and swing voters on this one issue. They’re absolutists who will tell followers that you can’t have empathy for Palestine and vote for Democrats. Of course it does nothing but help Republicans, it’s part of how we got here

I genuinely think Free Palestine is actually directly funded by Republicans, if not Israel itself. It's too convenient and coincidental that they keep intentionally doing things that help Republicans.

What will Hakeem do? Nothing he does nothing in his job all he does is rhyme words! Primary his ass!

So tired of all this bullshit corporate media.

Trump is the most patheticly disgusting human being that ever drew breath.

Hundreds of millions of people - including 3 million+ with sworn oaths - aren't doing a single thing to stop any of this. Bad people are doing bad things. 'Good' people are doing nothing.

😆😆😆 The sh^t posters on here. You know what this is about? They don’t want a second Black president. Lefties, you caused this mess with your purity and dreams of Tea partying Dems. You helped all the folks you say you hate suppress votes, then tried to blame Dems. You stood with Nazis, FFS.

"Is there anything you can do from your perch.. to protect.." "We're going to continue to support.. We're going to fight.." (goes off on the same old Schumer script; mentions nothing he is going to actually do, as usual. Mentions families.)

I picked up on the “perch” comment too 🤔

CALL.HIM.A.FUCKING. RACIST. Holy shit. These people are spineless.🇺🇸

As a German, I had to look up "Arsonist" first. Ad hoc, I understood it to mean something completely different. But then it would probably be written with an "e" after the first "s".

If Justice Roberts oversees the Smithsonian, then Trump has Carte Blanche to do whatever he wants. Surely, Jeffries doesn't believe Roberts will protect African American history. SCOTUS would rather erase it all together.

Hakeem needs get lit up! Start a fire!

I don't think people get it yet. This is all a ploy to stay in power forever. You won't be able to fight this with just words. You need to put the fact that he is violating the constitution in the public view in Congress, with strong evidence and let the reject it.

Govenors need to activate their national guard before he can and have them meet those disgraced service members violating their oath. Following an unlawful order is not an excuse.

And here you are with a Dixie cup trying to put out the fire good job preacher talks a lot.

Correct response: “every child knows that slavery was bad.” Full stop.

Jeffries had an opportunity to help usher in a more progressive movement while actively fighting Trump and he blew it. I had gained respect for him but that’s gone.

Exactly! That 'message' NOT WORKING! We need a Real Leader with a Real message! Disappointed again...

Dishonest actors the pair of them. I saw Bash ‘moderate’ that debate, and Jeffries still thinks losing the ‘right way’ is more noble than winning any way. Fighter pilot advice; if you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin’.

So let's get this straight, slavery wasnt so bad, but changing the Cracker barrel logo attacks America's values, and upsets the maga world ?

that's what matters to them, people think they understand anything other than us physically fighting back when they are doing it to us? they are the simple fucks that have to be constantly told what to think n what to do, they're the kids that always had to learn the hard way n get their ass beat

Jeffries' responses are almost always delivered with the same zeal as the history teacher from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhiC...

There is no good aspect to what Netanyahu is doing either.

Why not carry out small social experiment by enslaving all those slavery proponents? Give every one of them kind master. Let them enjoy slavery.

The South called slavery their "Peculiar Institution" instead of slavery. When the abolitionists railed against slavery in newspapers, the argument that was always used to defend it was Peculiar Institution and the glorious cause. It meant living in wealth while an entire race worked for free.

Jefferies is being way too kind with his words; most democrats are. We need to call it for how it is. Donald Trump is the biggest piece of shit to ever walk this earth. Get mean and stoop down to their level.

Oh my god. will you people get therapy and medication for your pathological hatred of Jeffries already. "He's a racist arsonist" is "way too kind" and "not calling it for how it is"? Absolute rofl with this bugnuts nonsense.

I don't have any hatred towards him. Like I said, get mean and stoop to their level. Now is not the time to be nice. If you are not tired of all this administrations bullshit by now, you never will.

"Like I said, get mean and stoop to their level" He literally called Trump a racial arsonist. You are objectively bugnuts for calling that "nice". Therapy and medication, you need to get it stat.

You know you can criticize people and still like them. I stated my opinion that he needs to do more and get nasty. That's how this administration responds. If you don't like it, why are you commenting?

I don't like people being always bugnuts crazy and/or stupid in how they react to Democrats. He objectively did exactly the same level of calling out as people's "favorites" like AOC and Newsom did. So people need to start acknowledging and fixing their bugnuts double standards about all this.

Cool. If you don't like it, there is a scroll function. Move on. Jeffries is the leader of the Democrats. We need more fire. Have a great rest of your day.

Cool, if you don't like being called on making unreasonable and dishonest statements, then don't make them. You already got your fire. If you're faking like you didn't, then you need to say what your actual real motive here is, because it's not any legitimate concerns.

Like, man, it's not even that I'm actually a Jeffries fangirl. This is just about my being tired of people always being massively irrational and unreasonable about Democrats in general. Why? What do you get out of being like that?

It puts more fire under their seat if they feel pressure. If you don't put pressure on your representatives, they'll assume nothing is wrong. Same with a worker who is slacking at their job; you will be called into your managers office and be written up on the path to being fired.

Legitimate concerns include stopping the mobilization of the military against its own citizen for one... What is he and the party going to do about that. Again, I was stating an opinion we need more fire, yet you felt like you needed to inject your thought that wasn't needed.

"What is he and the party going to do about that" He's the minority party, so... turns out if you make someone the minority party, they have only minority party levels of power. I don't know how it works in Canada, but here the minority party has little ability to directly influence things.

According to Hakeem, this is all a big distraction, right?

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

Racial arsonist? Sounds like he's getting his terms from the NYT headlines. Just call him a racist, please. No need to weasel out of saying the obvious with those extra words.

Jefferies. Points out the obvious, does nothing.

That was a bait question. She's trying to trip him up.

Oh it’s not an isolated incident. He has a track record.

Yeah, and it's better than Bernie's.

Oh look he's on TV again

If democrats lose in 2026 he’ll have a part to play in it. No one believes a word coming out of his aipac hole.

The word you’re looking for is racist?

Jeffries is not the fighter we need .. he needs to step aside

The guy that doesn’t support his own party’s candidates NEEDS TO GO!

Well Jeffries, make sure you and Chucky write him a strong worded letter explaining your concerns.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is a coward.

Jeffries is so low energy.

GMTA.

I've always felt that he was a snake. He's owned by the financial industry and Isreal.

Jeffries still doesn't get that most Americans would respect him and Ds more if they called Trump a racist pig... even racist pigs would respect them more.

No, sadly most Americans would see that (the truth) worded that bluntly as divisive and extreme. It would be satisfying to hear but it would only help Republicans.

Exactly. If Jeffries used coarse language it would only invite criticism.

Nope. It would show that Ds actually stand for something and would fight. I grew up in WV which was strongly D because of unions. They left Ds because they saw them as not fighting for them. And yes, many people there are racist and will continue to be so, but they respect punching back.

"Racial arsonist" is much better. Hakeem is a lot smarter than you.

Nope. It's weakness and invites aggression. Either have the courage to call him a racist or don't. The weakness is what drives people from Ds, not policy. Ballot measures in red states prove this again and again. The only Ds winning are grassroots. The leaders are weak and losing.

"Racial arsonist" means racist, Jason. A specific type of racist.

Yes...of course. That's exactly what swing voters in MI-07 think of when they hear "racial arsonist" or the people I grew up with in WV. All they hear is someone too afraid to say what they mean...and that's the end of respect with those people.

No, they wouldn’t.

Yes we would.

We’d all enjoy it, but it wouldn’t advance the cause a single millimeter.

I kind of disagree!

At least we can agree on the genius of Jesse Wells.

You might. But most people don’t care.

You ancestors were not beaten and hanged for no reason. Families split up because slave owners sold them to different slave owners and never saw each other again. Black slave women assaulted by their white owners.

Jeffries: all talk and no action.

Newsom: All talk and no action yet folks like him anyway. 🤔

There is some truth there but he’s getting under trumps skin and be hastening some of the illnesses. Not presidential material but quite good at what he’s now doing g with Trump.

I'm not buying it. All this criticism that Democrats other than Newsom calling out Trump are always somehow "not good enough", feels increasingly astroturfed and inauthentic.

There are some fine honest democrats out there. It appears all everyone wants are establishment. That will no longer work.

I want people who are intelligent, mature, support and work together with their colleagues, and do actual useful things. I have zero interest in people who do nothing but shitpost, attack their own side for attention whore points, or deliver One Weird Trick idiocy "ideas" that are set up to fail.

Nor do I care about whether someone is "establishment" or not, because edgy rebelling for the sake of rebelling is for when you're a teenager in high school, not for grown adults. I care about substance and working towards results.

We’ll see how far establishment got us? Lost the election. Your choice.

If my choice is "MAGA behaving like overgrown idiot bully children" and "Democrats behaving like overgrown idiot bully children", then congrats, we will have reached *actual* "both sides are the same". I will not go along with leftists intentionally creating Idiocracy, sorry.

Goodbye to you. Argue with yourself. I truly think this is why the democrats lost. If we do again I hope you have the finances to leave this country.

The only good thing about it was when it ended.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, slavery didn't end. The Proclamation took years to be enforced. After, slavery was re-codified into sundown towns, plantation sharecropping (company towns), and the newly un-enslaved were subject to immediate arrest for loitering, charged for lawyers,

named guilty, then indebted to wealthy benefactors (plantation owners, mostly) who "convict-leased" them and put them right back into the control of the same plantations, factories, and servant industries as before. This was neoslavery. That horrible Jim Crow shit we all know about? That's LATER.

Eventually the entity leasing the convicts became the state itself, and our modern prison system's "prison industry" is just a slight modification of that. Slavery was codified into the Constitution by the 13th amendment "as punishment for a crime" and that's what enables prison industry to exist.

So slavery didn't end. Massive amounts of propaganda convinced us to stop seeking its abolition. It's modern. Notice above that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social refers to it in the present tense. This is a current problem that activists have been fighting for years.

That's true for most people. But for rich white men, sadly, most things about slavery were good.

Please do something Speaker Jefferies.

What else do you think he should do? He's the one who got the state AGs to immediately set rapid response legal teams, and those have done a good job of slowing down and even stopping the MAGA juggernaut. Slowing it down enough to allow Democrats to win at the ballot box is a win.

I appreciate that and it’s good to point those things out, I want his voice to be stronger on the tyranny and destruction that Trump had wrought. I want him to support other Dems when they take on Trump, I want him to listen to his constituents rather thss as n AIPAC and big donors. Just a start.

I truly, sincerely hope he does. I just have no confidence that he will. Make sure that when he doesn't, you accept his answer and hold it against him. It's not right to ignore his constituents.

I am willing to take more action than that, I call him and my rep’s office. I protest, and I am trying to learn as much as I can about leaders who are willing to step up and take on Trump and the GOP and support them. We the ppl want strength and courage from these guys, we must demand it.

That all sounds like the right plan to me. In the spirit of learning about leaders, let me demonstrate that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social isn't one.

Jeffries is minority "leader" of the House. Remember that big spending bill which became an argument early on this year, before the Big Beautiful BS, House Dems unanimously rejected it. It was a bold and united front against fascists. Really would have inspired people if the Senate backed them up

Needless to say, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social was pissed when they didn't. The House caucuses (which are more amenable to progressive voices like AOC) had made him take a stand and now he looked foolish and fell in line behind Schumer.

But of course, for *some reason* he fell in line behind Schumer.

AIPAC has also obviously pushed him to reject Mamdani as NYC mayor.

When do Democratic MoCs routinely endorse mayoral candidates?

I'm sure he would deny this today, but they also initially pushed him to support Adams, who is openly corrupt.

Exactly. We must demand it!

Elect more democrats to the house, make him Speaker, then he can.

That’s a given. But thanks. He can speak up with way more courage and conviction. He is a brilliant speaker and can really take someone down, but he seems too timid IMO ( and many others) and it’s hard not too agree with those who say he is beholden to AIPAC and big donors.

Here's what YOU can do: Join your local Dem party committee now and help with GOTV for the midterms in 2026. Help take back both houses so that Speaker Jeffries can actually fucking do something. How does that sound?

Like a rerun. Information I already have. Thank you.

tRump says????

Firm grasp of the obvious.

How’s about “Trump is saying stupid, dishonest lies”? SPEAK PLAIN ENGLISH.

Jeffries is owned by the pacs that fund him. HE NEEDS TO GO!

He is one. Say it chicken.

Racial arsonist? What? FFS talk like a regular person.

Tramp's racism is a well-established, widely-known fact. No more commentary is needed on that issue. What we need, Rep. Jeffries, is commentary, discussion, strategizing regarding how to defeat the authoritarian assault on American democracy by the Christo-fascists.

He was nice, the term is racist pig.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social please, please, please...step aside.

Now I get how AI works. Wonderful demonstration.

Douchebag interviews 🤡!

No good aspect to slavery? I'm pretty sure the descendants of slavery are much, much, much better off than the descendants of those left behind in Western and Western-Central Africa. Take a trip to Congo ($650 GDP/Cap) or Angola ($2K) or Senegal ($1700) or Sierra Leone($900) to see those paradises.

Ummmmm, dude...I would kinda sorta shut the fk up.

Go fuck yourself. The truth is the truth, no matter what propagandists like you say.

Write a strong letter, Hakeem

Jeffries lost his moment. He should just sit this out, like he's done everything else. Jeffries and Schumer aren't the leaders we need right now.

Trump is not 47, he is CSA 2.

WHY does anyone speak to this useless mouthpiece anymore? GTFO the way, Hakeem.

“There is no good aspect of slavery”

Give Jeffries a seat with the GOP... he's a useless fuck.

FFS... why say "behaving like" when Trump is objectively a racial arsonist.
