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.

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:

In his first Fox Town Hall, Pete was asked how he’d handle Trump.
Even then, he nailed who Trump was, is, and would always be…

Pete out there lifting up other candidates like he does…
Man I miss him.
Man I miss him.
How did we fail to elect him? One of the only trustworthy voices we have left
A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

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.

I learned so much from Renee Ferguson. She made countless lives better through her brilliant investigative journalism—as well as her mentorship of young people looking to make a difference.
