Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · Mar 8 What an honor to walk on this hallowed ground in Selma with some of the civil rights foot soldiers who marched here 61 years ago on #BloodySunday. We have so much to learn from the the moral power, and the physical courage, of the marchers who faced down Jim Crow on that day.

Thank you for showing us what a true man looks like
In all this dystopian hellscape forced upon us by the Maga Fascist Party, never forget how far we have come and how many have fought and sacrificed for freedom and equality in our country for too long. Be the Unity in community and resist fascism.
Dude, ditch the suit
I hope their sons and daughter take up the cause.
Mr Buttigieg is one smart, well spoken, intelligent, honorable man!
Pete talking about Jim Crow but taking money from Israel…. It’s like a god damn onion post
Works are important Pete! Thank you for standing up!
This won’t get you the black votes, bud!
I would have loved to have been on that walk across the Bridge with all of you today.
Please do alt text and name people in your photos. Thanks.
Those marchers are true American patriots. So is this little child. So courageous. So patriotic. Useless ass clowns that drop sophisticated American weaponry on a school full of children? Not so much.
I was there about ten years ago. How it's still named what it is is rather sickening.
Pete, thank you for bringing this to us. 💔
Don't forget jim crow was a democrat.
We love ya Pete! 💖
Good on them all
And yet we didn't.
Wish I could have cone and met you Pete. I'm only about 60miles from Selma.
Go Pete and good people
Thank you for showing us how to lead with courage and genuine love and dignity! We must not let the current regime take away dreams of liberty, these true patriots teach us how to fight braver and bolder! 💪🏼🫶🏼
Love you Pete! 2028???
Just think if you were alive back then... you could have been text spamming them all!
Pete is the best!
Says the guy who says democrats need to make a big tent with white supremacists
Love you Pete!🍀💫🖖🏼💙
Sadly, little has changed. Today, we are witnessing the most recent manifestation. The entire Republican Party apparatus is engaged in the grossest form of voter suppression. It cannot abide by the one person – one vote principle because to do so would mean forfeiting its hold on power.
Thanks Pete for your compassion and support.
Welcome to Alabama!
Dems need to stop trafficking the moral courage of those who fought Jim Crow and start showing some of their own. Nostalgia isn’t a strategy—it’s manipulative and short-sighted. Black folks must demand real action now. Enough comfort-food politics—the stakes are too high.🤦🏿♂️
He's running
This is what I love about Pete. He is real. He is intelligent. He operates from love of people, love of freedom, and love of America.
You want to honour them?? Quit fucking going on FOX News aka the Nazi Network.
Wonderful! I wish they would rename that bridge to The John Lewis Bridge.
you did not win the GLAAD Hand award. stump harder
Thank you Pete. This is the third time you have been at the Bridge Jubilee and it's clear each time you have been there has been meaningful to you. Especially today, as it honored the memory of Reverend Jackson who you marched with side by side in 2020. Rest in power, Reverend.
We need you as president
We walked that bridge, visited the small museum at the base of it a few years ago when we made a civil war/civil rights road trip. Such an emotional trip.
Their example compels us to do everything it takes in our time to move America toward its deepest values and its great promise, still too often unfulfilled, of liberty and justice for all.
Good trouble. Bless John Lewis.
history repeating itself as is necessary in the dark times in which we live.
My wife and I were there last summer. Moving.
