@petebuttigieg.bsky.social I wanted to thank you for your efforts back home in Indiana to keep our elections fair. You can also be proud of South Bend’s turnout for No Kings Day.

The President is getting involved after in-person pleading by the VP still couldn’t get these Indiana legislators to execute Trump’s gerrymandering plan.

They’ve held off because they know it’s wrong - and because our pressure is working. So let’s keep it up!

Pete Buttigieg on the lessons of the marriage equality movement: “Enormous change can happen when you have a willingness to play out that strategy over the long term… It took ideas that were preposterous for one generation and made them consensus for the next.”

A big turnout is expected at this Charlottesville rally with Abigail Spanberger and Pete Buttigieg.

But not *that* kind of rally this time.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

“If you're considering participating in civic processes... don't underestimate the moral authority that you carry as a young person saying, ‘This decision you're about to make affects me,’”… The longer you are planning to be here, the more you have at stake, and I think, the more you have to say.”

“my main impulse is not despondency... but actually propulsion... especially for a generation of people coming of age at this moment... to figure out not just how do we stop the damage, but what would we do if there were a clean sheet?” - Pete Buttigieg

The Trump-Vance Administration getting rid of biodefense personnel is, to state the blindingly obvious, a very bad choice.

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.
