Mark Ruffalo calls for Hakeem Jeffries to be replaced as Speaker of the House
He is circulating a petition that now has 380,408 signatures
"We are calling on every member of the incoming Congress to vote against Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker and choose a different candidate"
➡️ Actor Mark Ruffalo, an outspoken advocate for Palestinian rights, is urging people to sign a petition calling on House Democrats to reject Hakeem Jeffries for speaker and choose another candidate.
Jeffries has remained a staunch supporter of Israel throughout its genocide in Gaza, backing U.S. military aid and describing his commitment to Israel’s security as “ironclad and unbreakable.”
I know this is meant to be some based bullshit about dictatorship or w/e but that's exactly what you did have: you had every counter-majoritarian institution: senate, supreme court, president who won the first time without the popular vote, all the billionaires, and still lost
The big lesson of the Biden years is that you have to prosecute these people. You can’t just move on. You need to make the next generation of grifters and hate mongers scared for their lives.
Thank you, Florida.
We didn’t get the result we fought for tonight. I’m not going to pretend that it doesn’t hurt.
But I want y’all to hear me. What we built together is REAL. Every door you knocked, every call you made, every dollar you gave and every friend you brought to the polls proved that working people in this state are ready for something better.
That movement isn’t going anywhere, and neither am I.
The fight continues.
Love, Angie 💗
