Not Hakeem Jeffries, the Minority Leader.
@hakeemjefferson.bsky.socialHe called his bigoted opponent a bigot to his face. Ossoff knows his voters and trusts them enough to tell them the truth. He talks about those responsible for this horrible situation in ways that resonate with those of us who are looking around like, what the fuck? He’s v good at all this.

“The practice of filming and releasing video of an execution is more common with terror groups like the Islamic State…”
A barbaric administration full of absolute goons.

@trevondlogan.bsky.socialReposted by @hakeemjefferson.bsky.socialI am a political scientist now! Social Science trifecta achieved!! Thanks AI— I definitely couldn’t have done it without you! 🤣😂
@hakeemjefferson.bsky.socialThe most profound, actually!
@hakeemjefferson.bsky.socialI wonder how Google AI confused @trevondlogan.bsky.social with me in this author list for a paper I co-authored. Is Google AI doing the “they all look the same” thing??

@hakeemjefferson.bsky.socialThinking deeply inspired by the work of queer and feminist scholars and, of course, by the pioneering work of Eve Sedgwick. And, like all of my work, very much inspired by the world around me and my own sense of what is driving behavior. Eager to turn back to this work soon & welcome thoughts.

@hakeemjefferson.bsky.socialI really was hoping this was all some joke, but you can’t make this stuff up.
@joshcowenmi.bsky.socialReposted by @hakeemjefferson.bsky.socialOver the past couple years, I stopped saying “but public schools serve all kids” as a contrast to vouchers in speaking events and testimony. The fact that public schools can’t formally exclude kids (as vouchers do by design) doesn’t mean they don’t fail too many children.

@hakeemjefferson.bsky.socialThanks for the correction!

You leave heartbroken for the kids being failed by this grossly unequal system.

@hakeemjefferson.bsky.socialDo yourself an end of summer favor and make this dish, recommended today by Melissa Clark at @nytimes.com. Recipe by Hetty Lui McKinnon. @villarrecords.bsky.social and I have made this previously and loved it. So good, and super easy.
@hakeemjefferson.bsky.socialSo grateful to @atrexler.com and the good folks at @uwmadison.bsky.social political science for a fantastic visit. I also now understand the Madison hype. A fantastic college town I’m looking forward to visiting again.
