In 1846, enslaved spouses Dred and Harriet Scott sued for their freedom after their enslaver brought them to territories where slavery was outlawed.

I’ve got some free time this afternoon - let’s do a quick Q&A. Share your questions below, and I’ll answer as many as I can.

I'm looking forward to catching up LIVE with Stephen Colbert tonight. Feels like there will be plenty to discuss! Tune in to the Late Show at 11:35 pm ET.

The man just said he brought free speech back after tossing out a man who exercised his free speech. Priceless.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

WOW! @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @chastenbuttigieg.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

I feel like we are going to be needing this perspective a lot.

A reminder for these times.

JD Vance intentionally escalated the tension in today's meeting with President Zelenskyy. From the start, Vance has had an antagonistic stance toward Ukraine. Let's not pretend that Vance ever approached these negotiations in good faith.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

TODAY: The Senate is scheduled to vote on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director. This MAGA extremist has salivated about prosecuting journalists, government officials, & ordinary Americans. Call your senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or email instead: act.indivisible.org/sign/demand-...

Great to be back at UChicago Institute of Politics tonight. Tune in.

Today (2/18/25) at 3:30- A chance to listen to Pete! What strategies – particularly in focusing locally – have worked for Democrats and what is the path forward for the party? Featuring former Secretary of Transportation and IOP Pritzker Fellow Pete Buttigieg, www.youtube.com/live/sofj0EC...

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Knitting has been an act of resistance against oppression for centuries. Thanks @aoc.bsky.social for reminding folks of what a powerful symbol of liberation women's handwork is in this dark time.

An astonishing thing happened yesterday at the Justice Department, one that surpassed even the biggest firing scandal of the Nixon era. The Department and its leaders are reeling, and the political repercussions are now rippling out. My write-up: https://buff.ly/41h7EMv

We know it’s tempting to give into cynicism or despair right now. So let us tell you what keeps us going: We are in daily communication with Members of Congress and senior staff who want to see a unified opposition as well. They are fighting on the inside to build that opposition. 🧵

Just do your best 🙏

When there is no cure, there are coping skills and healthy habits we can form to replace detrimental ones. It isn't easy, but it is EASIER than spending the rest of our lives angry, burnt out, overthinking, anxious,stressed, sad, lazy, or impatient. 🙏 Practice. Practice. Practice.

My 19yo shared this with me today. I have to say it did make me feel a bit better. Is Somebody Doing Something?! open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

You think Elon Musk’s approval numbers suck now? Wait until folks figure out he’s dismantling the government so he can’t be regulated or stopped in his quest to be the first trillionaire—to our detriment. Not that approval numbers matter, since no one elected this sociopath!

Biggest landing so far goes Pete Buttigieg with 356K followers in the first 24 hours Blueksy definitely has the juice, already has half the following of threads and just over 1/10th of Twitter. Again in 24 hours only. Who do you think can beat this record?

Please BlueSky, PLEASE...add a "Remove Follower". I don't want to outright block some folks. Be we aren't a fit. I just want to quietly remove them! THANKS! @support.bsky.team
