More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening.
People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book.
Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

It'll be unstoppable!!
With all due respect @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
If Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, etc had behaved like this we'd still be curtseying to a British tyrant.
If we survive this shit we cannot let these limp 🍆 Dems be a part of what comes after. We cannot trust them.
From a new fan.
KEEP IT UP!!! People like you help keep morale up!!
He has shown he is not up for the times. We need AOC and the younger (or younger thinking) reps.
One day, though, but not today.
That's Speaker Mike Johnson you're thinking about it.
And the House is out of session all this week.
Just look up the floor calendar.
Fastest follow/unfollow of my life

Rep. Jeffries is the Minority Leader, not House Speaker.
Dems have the power of opposition, and though limited, they can and are using it.
Don't throw away the goodwill you built up with your good trouble to say stuff like this, Chris.
They are not.
DEMOCRACY is DYING! Anyone one of them on a book tour right now is going to hear the same thing.
I was right.
Use supporting details and show your work.
I think Rep. Jeffries is his own person.
It's funny you think he's an Obama wannabe, though.
He will be in the East Bay to participate in The Barbara Lee and Elihu Harris Lecture Series, co-produced by the Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Center and Peralta Community College
District.
Replace him and quit party placements based on your FU tenure system.
We deserve the smartest and best fighters, not someone whose turn it is.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social
Some people's moms are dead, so have some gotdamned respect.
Fuck your dumbass bullshit.
I live nine blocks from Pelosi, and I will picket her house if I have to.
Hakeem Jeffries writes a book on "The ABCs of Democracy."
Same People: "WTF is Jeffries doing trying to get young people to read a BOOK that helps them understand DEMOCRACY?!"
Sheesh!
Just in case anyone is so inclined….DC number
202-225-5936.
And pedantry doesn't add anything of substance to a discussion.
AOC FOR LEADER OF THE DEMS!
that’s first-rate bullshit
Dude. You got off course, the momentum deceived you. You can pull back.
There's no way you think Jeffries isn't working on it in the background, right?
Please tell me you know that.
No sarcasm. Actual question.
Mediocre white dude.
Coz you're just interested in perpetuating the characteristics of white supremacy and the patriarchy, and not dismantling them.
Which is the standard for your kind.
No sarcasm. Actual question.
Damn me not slowing down 🤦🏻♀️
do better.
But you do know book tours aren't controlled by the authors, right?
And if the Senate isn't in session, he can do whatever he wants. That's his time. We can't really begrudge him that, can we?
So that he can flee the U.S.
We're on our own.
The Dem Party leadership are flailing about like fish out of water right now.
On the other hand, love what you are doing to fight back! #resist

Jesus. Fucking. Hell.
1. Shrug and say, "We're in the minority."
2. Promote his book
3. Drop everything to attend another pro-Netanyahu rally
But if you're satisfied with this kind of "leadership," good luck and God bless.
Like a leftist? They cant even win in a deep blue district. Stop threatening with a good time
Every one of Barack Obama's cabinet picks got GOP votes.

This is not the time for both-sides equivocation. The nominees right now are attempting to unravel the Constitution. They shouldn't get ANYONE'S votes.
Maybe he should talk tough to the Republicans…or maybe he’s afraid he’ll get tackled.🏈
Trump will make them “acting” otherwise.
Last I recall, it was NOT Jeffries. 🤷♀️
Collect your own 1st. Leave the Black Man who has busted his ass for YEARS to support civic education ALONE.
Shadow government?!? 🙄
Chris is here putting his body on the line for the country; you’re here to wag your finger while we burn.

Start there. Make certain your Republican reps KNOW you're pissed, even if you THINK they're not listening. Go bother THEM. They need the reality check more.

You are mad a Democrats for not objecting to adjourning the House? You want the House in session so Republicans can push through their tax plan?
Learn how government works.
Nancy literally fought AGAINST impeachment for over 3.5 years, now here we are.
#pelosi
Enablers.
go back to "Daddy" on Twitter, stooge
I am so sorry for what has happened to you! and you have a tone of support. Go Fund Chris Kluwe!
But book signing!
Go. No deflection, no bullshit - you lay it out for me.
Small. That’s leadership.

Like, look up Republican strategy during the Clinton and Obama eras
But by all means throw up your hands and preemptively surrender.
There are so many things these “leaders” could be doing but hawking a book is more important.
We have heard next to nothing from them
Let me guess.. I register high school students to vote. Thousands of them. For over 20 years. I live in California so going door to door is not a thing. I flew on my own dime in 2016 to knock on doors for Georgia democrats. Your guessing is about as intelligent as your opinions
For the gop there are no rules. Now is not the time for democrats to follow the rules.
He & his ask for money all the time. We r allowed to ask him for more 2 org. his party & get more info out.
I want you to know how much I appreciate your actions. You set an example for the rest of America.💙
Direct your protests and strategy against maga.
Lashing out at Democrats is not presenting a united front in the face of the most destructive assault on Democracy in our lifetime.
Magas like when they see antagonism instead of unity.
Rest.
Whatintheactualfuck
He is the minority speaker of the house not the senate - and just because you
If you wanna protest or do something continue to do what you have been doing and direct it towards republicans who have the ability and as usual are using it for evil
Does anyone have the schedule for it?

Majoring in enriching one's own bank account while pretending to work for the people.
with kid gloves. Meanwhile my rage was bubbling out of me as I listened.
I saw him on the of the shows on Sunday and feel like he does not have a fighting heart right now when we need it.
Jeffries is a epic failure
@davidhogg.bsky.social please fix it.
The more the dems stay quiet the more complicit they appear.
They're all the same just different team colors. Red, blue, it doesn't matter. Both are full of excuses but can always find the time and money to give themselves raises.
They play Rock🪨Paper🗞️Scissors✂️with our life's.
We need new leadership. Younger ppl willing to speak up, who understand social media. Able to understand when to bend the damn rules & meet fire w fire.
And when to play by the rules & bring others in line.
It's a delicate balance, but the old guys & gals don't seem nearly up to it.
See through the chaos, the fake danger; expose it before you wake up in a totalitarian, fascist state.
