figuring out rebuilding

ONE MILLION SIGNATURES. A PAID PETITION ORGANIZER. AND A WHOLE LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. Before anyone celebrates a petition to oust Hakeem Jeffries, let’s remember something: Under Jeffries’ leadership, Democrats just delivered a HISTORIC BLUE TSUNAMI, with projections of a House majority approaching 80 seats. The leader who helped engineer that victory deserves the opportunity to lead that majority and turn it into real results on AFFORDABILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY. Now, about that petition. It was launched SEPTEMBER 3—two months BEFORE Democrats’ historic midterm victories. Its creator, Nicole Whitted, is a PAID petition Ambassador. The platform advertises compensation tied to petition performance, including upfront payments and revenue associated with signatures. Its advertised figures of 30–50¢ per signature would translate to $300,000–$500,000 across ONE MILLION signatures. But that’s potential platform revenue, NOT verified compensation to Whitted. We don’t know how much is eligible, how that revenue is distributed, or how much she personally receives. And those ONE MILLION signatures? How many are registered Democrats? How many live in Democratic congressional districts? Who verified their political affiliations? A petition is NOT a poll. Signatures are NOT votes. And a million clicks are NOT a mandate from Democratic voters. We fought for this majority. We earned this opportunity. Now it’s time to turn that BLUE TSUNAMI into meaningful change. Before demanding accountability from Jeffries, let’s demand TRANSPARENCY from those demanding his removal.

I'm seeing Mark Ruffalo promoting a petition to block Hakeem Jeffries from becoming the next Speaker of the House, while Hasan Piker, Mehdi Hasan, George Conway, Ron Filipkowski and others are criticizing his remarks on Morning Joe yesterday. So I have to ask: Did they actually watch his FULL interview? 🔵 Jeffries didn't dismiss accountability. He explicitly DEMANDED it. 🔵 He clearly connected Trump's corruption to the affordability crisis. 🔵 He explained how Trump's war in Iran contributed to higher gas, diesel, fertilizer and grocery costs. 🔵 And he promised congressional oversight guided by facts, law and the Constitution. 🔵 And he made the distinction between ACCOUNTABILITY and RETRIBUTION. That distinction matters. Democrats didn't just win an election. They made promises to millions of Americans struggling to afford groceries, housing, healthcare and basic necessities. Now is the time to unify and deliver, not for ignorant divisiveness that weakens our collective power. LET'S BE CLEAR: Delivering does NOT mean giving Trump or anyone else a free pass. Jeffries was beyond clear about the below ⤵ ‣ Investigate corruption. ‣ Follow the money. ‣ Issue subpoenas. ‣ Hold wrongdoers accountable. ‣ And if the evidence supports impeachment, pursue it. But making impeachment the opening act before the new Congress even convenes? That's not a substitute for governing. Jeffries understands that Democrats have to do BOTH. Criticism is healthy. Holding leadership accountable is essential. But there's a difference between demanding results and undermining a prospective Speaker before he's had the opportunity to deliver. #AffordabilityAndAccountability pave the path to the future we're all fighting for. Not retribution. Not political theater. Listen to what Jeffries is actually saying before attacking him.
