The Pete Effect

I am calling for all journalists and pundits who have hits scheduled on @msnownews.bsky.social @msnowreports.bsky.social
to demand that MSNOW stop running ICE spots on their shows or you won’t appear.

You can’t come on and speak truth and then be undercut by their corporate greed.

Unacceptable!

We are not powerless…

Pete Buttigieg reminds us:

“The ground is shifting because all of us have been doing the work to shift it…”

Question: Which politicians inspire you?

For me, it’s Pete Buttigieg. His intelligence and ability to connect with voters is extraordinary. Not to mention his executive skills and the respect he’s earned from our allies.

We’re not inspired by much these days, but “that guy makes me feel better.”

Let’s start talking about how we recover from all this. Pete has always supported expanding the court, and here, lays out a plan to get money out of politics.

He makes me feel sane.

No one explains or soothes better than Pete. No one.

Here’s a message I had to split for time.

#1: Healthcare Subsidies

#2: Greenland

Happy 44th, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social!

Thank you for your leadership, and your unwavering commitment to public service!

Hope you have a wonderful day with your beautiful family! 🎂

Let’s start thinking about who has the skills to sort out this country. They need:

✅Intelligence
✅Compassion
✅Ability to form complete sentences
✅Proven administrative excellence
✅National/international respect
✅Kickass oratory skills
✅Military experience
✅Ability to stultify Fox & Friends

Read the Clintons’ Personal Letter to Comer (Gift Article) Bill and Hillary Clinton wrote a lengthy letter to Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky, the Republican chairman of the Oversight Committee, refusing to testify in Congress.

Pete on the Venezuela matter…

“When your government is lying to you about how it went about killing an American citizen … that is a failure of leadership at the highest level.”

1/2 🧵Tell an authoritarian how much you hate him, and he gets a surge of energy, and comes at you even stronger.

Publicly ridicule him...and laugh at him, it's like you wield a magical power.

Humiliation destabilizes authoritarians by stripping status...without triggering fear.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

I’m happy to see so many folks reposting @petebuttigieg.bsky.social ‘s appearance on Chris Hayes’s show. If anyone knows Indiana politics, it’s Pete (and his former campaign mgr. Mike Schmuhl).

Pete was on to Trump from the jump, as he says here in 2019. One of my favorite clips:

Pete out there lifting up other candidates like he does…

Man I miss him.

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

Republicans deliberately delayed the most damaging effects of their so-called “big, beautiful bill” until after the midterms, hoping to avoid accountability for how they are hurting people. But much of the damage is already happening.

What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike.

In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.

We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.

I made a video to celebrate #PeteButtigieg and I believe Newsom trolling like a teen girl does nothing to make the middle class feel hopeful. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social brings hope through sophisticated problem-solving and empathy. He is my candidate.

Present mood

I am too. I buy 5 at a time. 40oz for $21 @ Sam’s Club. But I recently found out their affiliation with Walmart and am looking for an alternative

I’m a proud customer of the first Peet’s in Berkeley. That’s the coffee I was raised on. They lost me when they switched to 10.5 oz bags and thought we wouldn’t notice. I’ve had to give up quality because of price and now buy Starbucks Pike Place in bulk. It was $20/40oz but just went up a dollar.

They went from 12oz to 10.5 a few years ago. I buy 40oz bags now in bulk. Buying it at the grocery story is far too expensive

That’s such garbage. Too bad you can’t find anything truthful to throw out about him
