Minority Leader Jeffries, we want lower prices, better healthcare, living wages, and ACCOUNTABILITY! Enough Kumbaya and political politeness! Get down in the mud if necessary. Fight back with the same fire as the opposition! Taking the high road PER USUAL ain't an option!
So is it not ok to honor Senator Hakeem Jeffries, but still call out one's issues with him and things that he might have done or not?
For myself, I saw the clip of him talking about not returning the same smoke like the opposition gave him and every other Dem, and eeeeYUUUCK!

Marlon Riggs and Essex Hemphill in“Tongues Untied” (1989).
“Returning to our Flowers, 2019” from Flowers at Your Feet, a project centering and honoring Black trans men and transmasculine individuals.
I'm seeing a lot of people who are turned off by Hakeem JEFFRIES, some because it is said he's funded by APAIC, And others because in true fashion he says there will be no revenge, but it will be politics as usual. That's not what the wider community wants!

Dame Edna, completely straight-faced, tells Parkinson that looking out at the San Francisco audience she saw all these “disoriented people” clinging to each other — same-sex couples — “doing funny things.” Then the kicker: “But they’re people… and who knows, they may get well.”
The delivery is pure soft-focus housewife kindness. No raised eyebrow, no “I’m joking” signal. Just Edna being Edna while the room does that half-laugh, half-hold-breath thing.
It’s the exact moment you remember why Barry Humphries could get away with almost anything: the character is so airtight that the most vicious line still sounds like something your aunt might mutter over tea. Today that clip would be screenshotted and ratioed before the credits.
Then it just sat on BBC2 and people either roared or quietly decided they hadn’t quite heard it right.
He’s walking through a neighborhood and the people don’t run. They don’t look away. They call him “Don Pablo” with real warmth. Some smile. Some thank him. One moment even references the generosity he’s known for in these streets.
This is the other side of the myth, the carefully built public image. While the world saw a ruthless drug lord, certain communities saw a man who built houses, handed out money, and filled the space the government left empty.
The camera doesn’t need to explain the contradiction. It’s right there in the greetings, the gratitude, and the quiet respect.
Monster to some. Benefactor to others.
And in places like this, both versions of him were true at the same time.

Good. Because he knows how he needs to position to serve all of the people of Mississippi. A state that wasn’t on the progressive leftist radar until Tuesday night.

This is what happens when you elect people funded by the people. They stay true to the people. Abdul rejected all corporate money. Corporations don't own him. This is true leadership.
